Re: Do You Still Play?
I haven't bought SE5 yet - no money. In fact, I haven't even gotten round to installing the demo- no time.
I have two games of se4 on PBW that I have the other players seem to take forever to play their turns on. No doubt *they* are all busy playing se5.
One of them is brand new, only a few dozens turns in. The other is one of PBW's longest-running games, well over four or five years by now and I've been in it from the start. I will be really upset if that one dries up.
I also have a single player game I'm well into. Proportions 3.05, and I'm currently not too far away from ringworld tech, with plans to build a few ringworlds with a cultural centres on. given that it takes some 85 turns just to build the spaceyard that will build the bases with the ringworld components, I am confident I will be playing this one for a while yet. However I reckon I can do it all in maybe only a thousand or so turns with high-level spaceyards and enough population (I have seven captured homeworlds to deplete=-)

Re: Do You Still Play?
I play SE4 because at this point, it is superior to SE5. SE5 may have a few advantages, but SE4 is better overall.

Re: Do You Still Play?
I wouldn't say it was superior, but it is more stable at this point.  |

I play SEIV. Simply because my computer cannot handle SEV

Re: Do You Still Play?
Every time I get my hopes up my computer will finally be ready to run, something comes up and it's delayed. The guy said he could have it running maybe by Friday. I sure hope so. I'd like to get back in the swing of things. Keeping my fingers crossed till then. I don't know if it will play SEV, but I will be getting Windows 2K when it does run (I'll be getting 2 harddrives, my original one that was running Windows ME, and the new one that will run 2K). Hopefully that will satisfy the requirements so I can try to play it.
