1st, I like SE4 because by getting the game I have met all you wonderful people out there, if it wasn't for the game, I never would have found this forum nor enjoyed myself as much as I have both in playing the game and in discussions on the forum.

What I like about the game, is the flexibility it has for both mod and non modders. The game has the capability of different challenges by what can be tweaked, added,and subtracted to the game. My opinion only, I feel that this is where the game shines and goes beyond the other games out there. I don't know of any other game that has the large modding capability as this one does and in addition lets us non modders tweak the races in the original game as well. In addition, The great support that Richard, Aaron, MM, and Sharpnel have given us. What other company would have given us the number of patches they have, let alone the gold issue with a lot of those ideas from the modders.

I'm starting to ramble on during these Posts, I gotta stop taking those meds because of my&^&$%$%^$#@%$ kitchen, I've never talked so much

What I would add is a fleet merge button or something similiar, add more diverse races and new additional tech trees and racial traits

PS, Hi Chewy, havn't seen you on the board much lately, glad to see ya back

just some ideas mac

I like SE4 because of the ability to change the game and its a interesting strategy game against human opponents.

combat: Since the limitation of "only one ship can occupy a square in combat" was done by demand in the early development of the game- I would like to see an option added to the set up that allows multiple ships to stack in the same square in combat.

I would like to see a defense added for every type of weapon damage in the abilities file.

I would like to see ground combat maybe similar in format to Star general.

AJC - Why would you want to be able to overlap more? Explain more please.

Mac - What other tech areas would you add as well as racial traits? Oh and check your private message

everybody else - I know there is still more you would add. Be as specific as you would like.

Or just have each weapon have a random damage range per game. Ie, in one game APB V might be 40/30/30/20/10; but in the next game it would be 20/15/15/10/5. Other weapon attributes could be affected as well, such as reload rates, supplies used, size in KT, etc. Of coarse, this is pretty much a hard code change, unless someone feels like makeing about 100,000,000 copies of the components.txt file.....

Would like to see
1. Expanded notes. Ability to add notes to a system from main game window.
2. Click on another races ship would show what we know about it with a ship display and Comp tab.

Favorite Feature = ship construction.

Or, get one of the board programmers to write a program to randomly generate weapons for the components.txt file.
