Yahoo search for 'design ships'. I think that's how I found stars!, too.

Another of those nearly unknown internet gems.

When it appeared that STARS! supernova had no chance of ever coming out I went through a mail-order catalogue looking for a replacement to fill my 4E fix. Found SE4:Gold, it was expensive (we all know SE4 isn't mainstream so they had unboxed copies imported) but the description sounded good. Got it, played it for awhile, stopped playing for a few weeks, then took step to PBW.

I was looking for something similar to Starfleet Battles (and found the Starfleet Command series, btw) and stumbled upon SEIII. Played it for a while without knowing that SEIV was out. When I found out about SEIV, SEIV Gold was in the works and about to be released, so I bought SEIV Gold and the rest is history.

Many years ago, I found the SEIII demo when I was searching for strategy games while looking at a games site. Downloaded it and started playing... I have been addicted since.
