Hey! Welcome back! I remember you from... gee, was it even before PBW? Or was it one of the first PBW games I played?

Ok, thanx for the links. I'll get to them this weekend (I hope)

My life is still pretty hectic, but I'm trying to make some time to get back into this addictive game.

Ed K.: Yea, I was in PBW in the early days... I think it was Junkyard Wars 2 we played together in... And I hosted a P&N game for a while that I think you were in.

Yeah, I remember those games... remember SJ's trader empire from the P&N game?

It's unfortunate that the quirks of the map lead to an over-sized Vorlon empire with a ton of space to itself.. Those pesky SJ nomadic ships just couldn't eat up any space from colonization to stem the tide.

IIRC, that "empty Vorlon space" didn't START OUT so empty...

How coincidental. I also decided to start playing SE4 again, I remember these forums well from the earlier days. I also bought SEV and have kind of mixed feelings. I think I'll try it out, especially with Balance and Gritty Econ and see if I can get some of whatever skills I once had back. Nice to see SJ and the rest of you are all still here.

Best part: I still have my cool icon!

And you know the best part? Check out my signature. That was from the first PBC game, and of course the site has changed since. I was some minister? Construction? I don't recall. I had dreams of grandeur and then life happened.

Dumbluck:
There was only one small empire to the north, which decided to act in a rather hostile manner to peaceful Vorlon exploration ships. Naturally, they had to be dealt with... But the space to the south and east, inside that big cut-off loop, was mostly empty. All that was there was some piddly nomad race.
