I've been fiddling with really bizarre mod concepts off and on but not really playing much. Would making a new SEV mod be a waste of my time? What I've been toying with would take a great deal of time to finish.

I just bought SEIV Deluxe and SEV on Steam a couple of days ago when they were on sale for a total price of €10. Haven't had time to install them yet, but I do intend to try them out.

Just you wait and I'll be crawling all over this forum asking all kinds of n00b questions once I've slogged through the FAQs...

My problem is that we let our 10 year old think he owns the computer, and he lives in a different city than me (long story, don't ask). So i rarely get the chance to play. I'm still interested in this game, and love playing it when I can. So keep the mods and shipsets coming. I really do love this game.

@Edi
the vanilla game feels to me like a demo. Only 8 races, and such a small uninteresting galaxy.
The version I play with now has almost 300 races and huge galaxies. Be sure to check into all the mods for the game

Gandalf, I think I have way more than that for races, since doing a quick look at the game gave me at the very least dozens of options. I suppose there is a reason for that "Deluxe" in the game title. Haven't had time to get properly acquainted with the game since I'm satisfying my FPS cravings with Unreal Gold at the moment.

While I do still check these boards every few days, I haven't played SE (any version) in several years. It's just not interesting if it's not developing any further. There was, and is, so much still lacking from the game. Anticipation of further improvement seems to be needed to make it worth playing.

Hrm ... seems I posted in other threads, but not this one. Funny. Yeah, I keep the Firefox shortcut handy, and I check to see if there's a new post on these boards. But just like the Baron above, I keep hoping (against hope, it seems) that there's going to be some new SEV content from MM.

I start a new SEIV game every 3 or 4 months, and play for 2 days. No time for more. Oldtimers here might remember me. Where have I been, you ask? If the old threads still exist, you'll see that I threatened to write a book. Well, I'm doing it. Actually it's a several-book story. Haven't decided if it will be 3 or 4. I just finished Books 1 and 2, and have submitted it to my "beta" readers. Currently it is roughly the length of two 400-page Harry Potter books.

Thumbs up Re: Who's Left?

Not only am I still VERY actively playing at both home and on PBW2, but I am working on a new/updated mod with Bearclaw and Dead Meat. Also did a fair portion of the new component images for Comp Pack update #33.
