What is this actually? SE4 game with modified rules?

Yes, heavily modified and mostly role played. If you check the first link SJ gave it's to another thread that describes the idea in deatail.

Actually, it is lightly modded.
The changes so far are: 1kt and 2kt troop "Avatars", one for each player in the game. This is you... wander the game, do your thing and try not to get killed If you do die, then other players will have opportunity to get promoted, and you have to start over as a fresh recruit.
There are also a number of tiny hull sizes, from 35kt to 125kt, potentially, you could own one of these yourself, and cruise the galaxy.
There are also VIP quarters to travel in, and miscellaneous luxury items to add to your prestige.
Some Galactic Wonders are planned, such as a "Giant Statue of Richard", "Temple of Aaron", etc.
You can probably see the theme of these items is to be fun props, rather than any sort of technically useful components

You can find the original topic idea thread here:
http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin...;f=23;t=007640
Essentially, everyone will have their say in the running of an SE4 game. Discuss events, rally some supporters, and push your bills through the senate.

There is also the main forum at:
http://invirtuo.cc/se4

Go to the forum, sign up, and post in the Recruitment Office to get a job.

There will be many planetary governor jobs available soon, and we could always use more good Officers!
There is also a position available for Nomenclature Minister, wherein you would organize the names of objects in the game.

If you join now, you may still be able to become governor of one of the homeworlds....

I'm a planetary governor. Is it on one of the homeworlds or?
I don't know where I live, does that make me a bad governor, I mean I don't really know the locals...

If I get a choice I'd choose Avalon VI.

EDIT:I've choosen Palaquin X on the recruitment office.
