It's unfortunate that the quirks of the map lead to an over-sized Vorlon empire with a ton of space to itself.. Those pesky SJ nomadic ships just couldn't eat up any space from colonization to stem the tide.

IIRC, that "empty Vorlon space" didn't START OUT so empty...

How coincidental. I also decided to start playing SE4 again, I remember these forums well from the earlier days. I also bought SEV and have kind of mixed feelings. I think I'll try it out, especially with Balance and Gritty Econ and see if I can get some of whatever skills I once had back. Nice to see SJ and the rest of you are all still here.

Best part: I still have my cool icon!

And you know the best part? Check out my signature. That was from the first PBC game, and of course the site has changed since. I was some minister? Construction? I don't recall. I had dreams of grandeur and then life happened.

We currently have a PBC game (PBC IV) going on at spaceempires.net, which is always looking for new players.

Dumbluck:
There was only one small empire to the north, which decided to act in a rather hostile manner to peaceful Vorlon exploration ships. Naturally, they had to be dealt with... But the space to the south and east, inside that big cut-off loop, was mostly empty. All that was there was some piddly nomad race.

Default Starting over. AGAIN

This time with a brand-spanking-new computer. Hopefully I can stay around a bit longer this time.

Unless you let some magic smoke out, odds are good that old PC can be fixed right up with a format c: and reinstall

Having a second PC is great for keeping the main one clean.

yep. I have an XP disk..... and no auth. code to go with it..... I was hoping that I could turn it into a backup location, or possibly a hardware firewall. (I heard rumors there was a linux out there that would do that, but I haven't investigated....)
