Tactical Multiplayer

You can only play tactical combat in Hotseat mode, which does not work well at all for tactical combat over the internet. Tactical combat requires all involved parties to be able to play right then and there.

thats exactly the point... I am playing with people right there... no offense but im not a play by email'er

I like playing with tcp/ip options and such, all there right then, while we chat ect.

You can play with TCP/IP mode, but all combat is executed in strategic mode. It is how SE4 works.

I know, bummer =/ Such a great and indepth combat system and no real way to exploit its depth in multiplayer.

well at least SEV is on the way =)

Have you tried the Ultimate Strategies Mod? It adds a lot of new strategies you can assign to your fleets so they at least do interesting things in combat

It's available at http://www.spaceempires.net.

ehh i guess ill give it a try... i was hoping for some way to actually get into the tactical side of things... Thats my favorite part of the game and the one part I cant seem to bring to multiplayer
