#se4 Guests

[tesco samoa]

Hi everyone.

Sorry about the se4 guest speakers and open topics being a little slow latey.

I have had a few bumps in the road.... But things are improving time wize for me to start this back up.

Last week on wed. we talked about the Balance mod.

This week will be part two of the balance mod with Sj hosting the topic.... ( if it spills into a 3rd week then so be it ... )

Upcoming guests are

Rollo - AI space monsters
Geo - PBW
Tesco - SE Modding tool and step by step making mods
Aaron - Starfury

Possible guest
PVK , Oleg JLS - AI modding

Now some questions

1. If you would like to be a guest speaker on se4 let me know
2. If you would like to recommend someone or topics for conversation let me know. I can approach people for speaking.

I would like to see Ruatha on there for the newbie questions

Ed , Baron and Andre for the history of SE games... ( I know there is more of ya but i am at work and these are the first 3 names that come to mind )

SJ - Any topic he wishes to talk about

Gandalph on ship sets ( design class )

AT back to do a design class on ships as well

Kwok and DG to do future design topics.

Some topics I would like to dicuss ( looking for a guest speaker on them )

1. How to build your empire Part 1( setup of empire pre 2400.0 )
2. How to build your empire Part 2( initial openning turns to first contact )
3. Ship building
4. Infrastructure
5. Mod Authors to come on and talk about their mods , current mods and future releases
6. Modding concepts ( from drawing board to release)
7. Modding do's and don'ts
8. Ship combat
9. Newbie faq
10. Tricks of the trade and other Strategy Articles.
11. Other Shrapnel game developers and Other Space Strategy game developers on to talk about their games ( Storm Clouds hint hint )

Again. This is for the community... So please let me know what i can do.

Thank you in advance for your thoughts and suggestions.
