Has any one ever actually completed a full game?

I've finished several, although I have been playing since v.0.23 (there were problems with the arrival of my CD, so I didn't get to start with v.0.20

.

But usually I just play until I really hit MEE, and I can get the AIs to surrender without doing a thing (10X score). Mainly because the beginning and middle parts of the game are really interesting and the endgame is really slow and tedious, since I know I'm going to win, I just have to go and do it...

I have won several, I now have 1.35 installed and the AI is way out in front it is down to 3 (counting me) and I think I'm goin' to lose this one

I do not install updates till I finish a game.

Never.

In fact, I have only played in four games - no longer than 215 turns.

It's sad isn't it? I've had the game since late January.

I finish all of my games. It' because I'm an anal character and get punished by myself if I don't.

The Last SE4 game I completed was just before the game hit the market. Roughly 500 turns in... Was really interesting fighting one all-powerful ai that controled 90% of the galaxy.

I have started many games, but really not have ever completed one game. I have started many and after 200 to 300 turns i start a new one, and each time i do that i get so much better at the game. Now i am currently in a game that has Lasted for 460+turns and devising some new tactics so i might actually finish this game.

Actually I have completed a game... once. My homeworld got bottled (makes a change from "glassed"=-) by an AI 3 turns in. Game Over. Now I _always_ build a weapons platform or defence ship in my first turn
