				 Re: Random Thoughts, Observations, and Questions.. 
 I have E-mailed Aaron Hall with the cinematic question.
 I still Have the 'Master of Orion 3' CD's, box, and manual. I must admit that the openining cinematic for it was good. The Ithkul/Harvester attacking the Human and all. I recently saw MOO3 new at a discount store for $5. I was almost tempted to get it for a "keap sake". There was also the 'Risk' computer game for $5 wich I considered.
 
 It's nice to see another skipping between the forums of Shrapnel and Strategy First at this hour. My fellow time zoner.

				 Re: Random Thoughts, Observations, and Questions.. 
 I'm not sure why you'd assume this, given that SE4 doesn't have one. Especially after the reaction Strategy First got just adding a couple splash screens. "Three more screens before I can get to the game? Outrageous!"

 SE2 had an intro movie of sorts.

				 Re: Random Thoughts, Observations, and Questions.. 
 Baseships are tech level 9 in ship production.  They are very slow and so have only specialized uses like for WP defense.  Most AIs rarely build them.The DN is then the standard big attack ship while the BS is more of a defense ship.
 This assumes a lot like playing a standard game of stock, but has at least a few grains of truth in it.
