Re: Which game is best for a n00b? SEIV or SEV?
Thank you all for your helpful tips. I will order the game from EB Games in the US and have it shipped to my US PO Box, and play SE IV first.
By the way, does anyone know if my SE IV demo save game will load in the final build? Just curious, but I don't mind starting fresh if need be.

Here's a test:
Look in the demo's components.txt...
If you search for and find a "Stellar Plasma Sphere" component, then the savegame is probably compatible.
If not, then you will certainly have to start a new game.

Heh. SEIV can suck up years when you first start out. A lot of the guys here, it still sucks up years.

As said above I would buy from EB online and get both. Play SEIV first, it is fully patched with years of experience nad bug fixes. By the time you are ready to progress SEV should be in much better shape. I also recommend immediately using the TDM AI mod. It is much better than the stock AI.

Much better as in more difficult, or much better as in smarter? I was already outgunned in my first combat in the SEIV demo so I definitely don't want the AI to be more difficult for now  |

A little of both actually.

Once you get the hang of the game and learn some tricks the stock AI will quickly become little more than a spead bump on your road to Galactic domination.  |
