Things you wish they kept from SE3

[Nyx]

It's been a while, but as I recall didn't SE3's fast combat resolve ship fire almost as fast as if all the guns fired in one volley. Unlike SE4's where when you tell the game to "auto resolve combat" it's this slow drawn out shot, pause, shot, pause, shot, pause. Next ship. Shot, pause,....

Yeah, it should be much faster. A good start would be if they take out explosions from fast combat - it would double the speed.

I never played SEIII, so I have to go by what you guys are saying. In your opinions, what was a better game? SE3 or SE4?

[Kimball]

SEIV is a better game, in my opinion. SEIII had a couple advantages in starting tech levels and construction qeues, but the changes made in SEIV far outweight them.

Yes, SE4 is a much better game than SE3.

We posted the starting techs issue in the Beta forum. I believe it's on the "To Do" list, but isn't going to be easy.

I miss right-click menus too.

We were told the design of SE4 didn't allow for ships and facilities separately.

You misunderstand. We're talking about a command that would take away the remaining movement for a given ship (or fleet) for *one* turn only.

The starting techs should be so that you have some amount RPs to use rather than tech levels. That way it would be fair even if someone takes propulsion and other one colonising tech.
