Buy the SEIII combo set on CD rom, it comes with SE1, 2, and 3, and lots of mods and shipsets for #3.

SE#1 isn't that great, it's like hotseat multiplayer SE2 with no ship customization, and no AI to play against(IIRC)SE2>>>>>>>>>SE1

If you start playing SE3, you'll never go "back" to SE I or II.

Of course, SE IV is far superior to all of them With the exception of research and intellingence.

And ship repair, and combat targetting.
And those hull layers were nice.
Don't forget the right click menu

And the superior build queue system.

The local build queues were less advanced... you could only build one unit at a time.

If you mean the global ship/base queue, that's certainly different with advantages and disadvantages. It was quite easy to prioritize your project funding across your entire empire.

I remember being able to start to build a ship at a space station then able to move it to a ship yard (or the other way) with out having to start over

I still pull SE3 out of the dusty reaches of my hard drive to play once in a while. Still a good game! AI can give you a run for your money too.

hey! I'm not saying that SEIV is'nt great, I would just like to play the game that started it all... anyway I hope that this does not make all of you think that I only play SEII. I just fondly remember the times I would meet up with my friends and battle for hours on end... ah those were the days
