31. Keeping the Deathstar looking baseship in one piece, and destroying planets.

41. Making your first shipset
42. Making your first mod
43. Writing your first AI files
44. Seeing your work used by others
45. Seeing your AI beat all others in the AI Death Match - Never happened to me, but I'm sure Rollo and Belisarius did little dances when theirs came up on top.

32. Just to show your might, send a strong fleet with a construction ship into the enemy's core home system, and use the battlefleet to fend off all attacks while the SY ship builds a Star Destroyer base..... never happened to me, but I can imagine.....
33. (personal) Blowing up a star in my Star Trek Mod.....

34. Blowing up the star of my enemy's home system, where he had amassed his invasion fleet of 48 baseships.

35. Placing cloaked star destroyers in every one of your enemies systems, and killing their entire empire in 1 turn.

36. Capturing a planet for the first time, and swaping breathable races.

"What, they evolved as 8 foot tall sapient crystals, on a methane gas giant, they hate everybody, but they don't mind being relocated to a huge methane ice world, to build intel facilities I'll use against the parent empire?"

Seriously, I thought I was cheating the first time I did this.

Just a heads up, that won't work. Stellar manipulation requires 1 movement point left, and bases never have movement.

37. When you finnally finish your stellar manipulation ships for the first time, and slip a star destroying into the enemies homesystem via a created warppoint, then close it on the same turn.

K, this isn't an SEIV moment, but SEII. But it's the most satisfying point of my SE career.

Finding a Demo version for SEII and playing it for days on end. Then asking a friend (had no internet at that time) to find info for ordering the full version. He called the next day to tell me that he could not find SEII anywhere (paused just long enough for me to start feeling disappointed), then tells me that he found, bought for me, and already downloaded the full version of SEIII!!!

My most satisfying moment in SEIV has to be when I played the Star Trek Mod, and having the first round of diplomatic negotiations between me and the Gorn end with their reply:

"Here is a pile of S***! Enjoy!"

I laughed so hard I farted.

47. Losing three systems to supernova's in close succession in a small map against the AI when you almost never player small maps in any strategy game, but getting most of the people out, then going on to rebuild and win the game.
