38. When you have researched every available technology in a low-tech start, high tech cost game.

Have actually done this...

Imagine repelling fleets of enemy ships number upwards of three hundred in their fleet with nearly five hundred in your combined fleets, and surviving long enough to build several starbases to act as a forward base of operations.

40. Feeling like a mad scientist/wargamer when you convert the star map into a torus shaped hex grid map by placing six linked warp points in each system.

It wasn't exactly my first major fleet battle, but I've had something like that happen. My 18 LC's came through a warp point and found over 50 mixed enemy destroyers and LC's on the other side. Too bad for the other guy that I had already maxed out CS, ECM, armor, and training on all of these ships and had a level 5 shield generator on them (PPB were disabled in this game), while he had none of the specialty armors, no shields, no CS or ECM at all on most of his ships, and no higher than level 2 CS and ECM on his latest stuff, and I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he didn't have training either. Not only did I take no losses, I took no damage . My enemy in that battle withdrew from the game shortly afterwards, though not before I glassed his homeworld the next turn.

Lemme gues..... just happened to you huh?

Waking up early in the morning to go to school, then discovering you haven't got any classes today so you can start playing SEIV at 8:00. (and that's saying something. When left to my own devices in the weekend, I usually wake up at about 10:00 and get out of bed at approx. 11:00)

The time I started a game and my home system star went nova two turns into it. That was fun.

Oh yes, all of those imfomous RCE's and the wonderfulness that came with them.

I actually kinda remember most of my games, the good ones. The PBW game I played with Electrum, Gandolph, CNC, Tnarg, and one other but I do not recall his name... he was the Ferengi and the first 12hr turn pbw game from 2003. Those two games were the funnest I have ever been involved with.

There are so many "moments" like now, being up all night just to play one more turn, the lists that we have were all fun to make and well, having my ship set making tutorial added to the GOLD cd along with a couple of ship sets was just fricking awsome.

Making my first ship set. Making my first Star Trek ship set. Remaking my first star trek ship set. And then finally REMAKING it again.
