OT-Favorite SE4 Moment!!!

The best moment I had was in the Space 1999 scenario. After a very tough, but satisfying fight to dominate the galaxy, I had still not visited Earth. I had never used stellar manipulation before and had spend many turns building a warp point opening ship. I was just about finished with the game when the ship was built, but thought I would try it out. Skipping across the galaxy at such an amazing speed for the first time was great, but to return Earth as the little missing moon base that now ruled the galaxy was even better.

Current Hotseat game, I was able to get one of my human opponets planets to rebel and go independent. Knowing he had fleet in system, I snuck in cloaked mine layers in system, put over 40 mines over the planet, knowing he would demand and get their surrender and giving him a nice surprise, The look on his face when he lost his fleet is unable to be put into words...or when he couldn't figure out which one of us was hitting him with food contamination or getting his AI allies to turn against him....aaaaahhhhhhhhh
hotseat excellent way to play.....

just some ideas mac

My favorate moment was opening the FedX package and getting the CD out.

Browsing the data directory and discovering how wonderfully configurable SE4 is. [Yeah, I'm a game design geek, attend the GDC every year, etc...] :-)

The first time I opened my email box and had a turn processed by PBW waiting for me.

P.S. My second best moment was a few minutes ago reading in this thread that my Space1999 scenario was someone's best SE4 moment.

Probably the first time I convinced an AI empire to surrender to me.

But a recent PBW battle runs a close second. My fleet wiped out my opponent's, despite all expectations I'd had from the results of simulator battles.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
