If your were playing a RP SE4 game ....

Back in the day when I only had the SE4 demo to mess around with, my buddy and I fired up a game to test it out. I started just south of the left nipple of nowhere in a one warp-point system. I spread out slowly, consolidating my planets, and established a couple of colony worlds in my neighboring system, a system that contained only two warps, one to me and one to the Eee homeworld. Before I knew it those peace-loving soap bubbles whent jihad on my noobie arse, shattered my colonies, and were penetrating my home system seeking to reclaim their "ancestral hunting grounds" (A.K.A. my homeworld). I was just rebuilding my defenses and fortifying my warp-point when the computer crashed. We had forgotten to save the game.

To this day I still think that I could have dug out of that hole (or at least Lasted long enough to for my friend to get down from the other side of the galaxy and provide reinforcements). I came out of that game with a deep love of SE4 and a seething distrust of the treacherous Eee.

God I love this game.

Edit: spelling, grammar, things I should have learned in grade school...
