Default Finally!

I finally bought SEIV (deluxe edition). A new player

Can't wait to try some Babylon or Galactica mods....

Cheers

Feel free to join Carrier Battles #3 on PlayByWeb
It has a fairly strong Babylon 5 leaning, with very important fighters, armor being the primary defense (it leaks damage sometimes), and lots of troop-vs-troop ground pounding action.

You will want to get used to things in a single player game first.
http://imagemodserver.mine.nu/other/...attlesv1.5.zip

Note: This mod is quite challenging. And although there are fewer actual items to choose, all the options are viable in their own way. This makes for a much wider variety in gameplay than most other games.

The AI knows what it is doing, so watching it can be very enlightening. There is also lots to read in the text files and on the website, and you can always ask for tips and strategic advice here.

Lurker for two years? Interesting.

Hope you enjoy it as much as everyone else here. Like SJ said, any questions, this place is probably the best resource for quick answers.

Oh, and I hope you like cheese (que Narf).

Thanks...

Actually i've been lurking for longer than that (since 2003, wasn't there another forum back then?). Anyway the game would have cost me about 100$ then and it was too much. Other games have kept my attention (MOO3, Knights of Honor...) but i've always kept an eye on SE IV, especially since i know that SEV is going to be a blast. So i couldn't resist when the deluxe edition was released last week...so here i am

Cheers

Oh man, I hate to be the one to burst your bubble, but there are no B5 or BSG mods right now. But hey, welcome

Cool, I was under the impression that the B5 mod was no where near ready to play.

Who, me? Nah, I won't make a single mention of cheese as I welcome this guy to the forum. After all, what does cheese have to do with a friendly greeting? Does everyone think I'm obsessed with cheese? I can get through an entire day without mentioning cheese!

Hi, I'm Narf. But then, if you've been lurking, you know that. Welcome to regular posting. Cheese?
