I tried but Im afraid that I cant enjoy SEV the way that I enjoy SEIV. Maybe if some modders get super involved with SEV since I dont think Id be enjoying SEIV in its raw form either.

Huge galaxies, hundreds of races to have randomly added to my solo games, more randoms; thats what make SEIV fun for me. Maybe SEV will catch up.

I still play SE4, haven't bought SE5.

And then... I will start playing MOO3 (tropical) soon, I'v got it from ebay recently. As soon as the addon to GalCiv2 will be released and bundled with GalCiv2... it will be the next one. Games with a good AI make PTF happy.

What is MOO3 (tropical)? I think I still have MOO3 sitting around somewhere. Did it ever reach a playable state?

GalCiv2 addon will not be bundled. It will be a download only expansion per their website.

Looks like they've made MoO3 mod picking a little easier. There's basically 3 packs, "vanilla", "strawberry" and "tropical". They all include the code patches/mods that alters the exe file too, so you really just need the latest official MoO3 patch (1.2.5 or something) and one of those mod packages. The Vanilla package is basically just a gigantic bug fix package, while strawberry and tropical both add/change things not 'bugged'. I'd go for either strawberry or tropical, but read the descriptions and see what looks tasty.

Find the mods here
Playable state... I am still trying to get used to the complex controls (I am a micro-manager), but it looks promising so far. An ingame tutorial would have been nice...

That doesn't sound bad. I actually kind of liked MoO3 and wanted it to become an actually fun game (kind of what I'm sure will happen to SE V). Maybe I will have to dig it out and take a look at it again.

SE V has a lot to offer. With more and more of the bugs being addressed and the UI next on the list of things too do, one can, for the first time in a while, look forward to things to come.
