Sure, I'd be glad to speak on the history of the SE games, though I admit my personal experience is mostly with the SE2 demo and SE4

Oh well, I guess I can do some research... you want anything prepared or will this be sort of a Q&A session like Fyron did when he spoke (I missed the other 2 speakers

well OK the 2nd speaker I can't remember who he was but I do know I wasn't particularly interested in his topic, but the 3rd I honest-to-God missed

)

And like Stone Mill said... wow, you got Aaron to come and speak - and about STARFURY?!?

That will be a night to remember! (Now I'll just have to remember to keep my mouth shut and try not to "help out" answering those prying questions

)

Have we forgotten about the #se4 Web Site?

Wow, I'm honored that you would include me.

Ship set design class???
If you're talking about creating ship sets, I have 2 Doga's and a cut and paste from another proggy. Atrocities would be the one to invite for this.

If you're talking about designing your ship layout, component speaking, in game, I still get surprised by the multitude of different ways to configure a ship.

I am familiar with many different aspects of this game; AI making, shipset making, Modding, and playing; but I don't know if I qualify in any one area enough to be a guest speaker. I like to think of myself as an alien of all trades, and a master jedi of none. If you would still like me to field questions at one of your sessions, I will do my best.

EDIT _ For instance, I just found out that fighter bays can land troops to conquer a planet.

Yeah, that is the problem with totally generic cargo bays... the game needs some sort of "drop troops" ability that adds to the max kT of troops you can drop in a combat.

Perhaps a separate ability and component specifically to launch/recover troops?

Gand you make fantastic ships.

Also Kwoks skool of Planet Design was a perfect format for the guest speakers if they wish to run a workshop or tutorial.

Or you can just chat.

Both styles are great.
