When you decide to look into mods for SE4, there is a Mods List page on www.malfador.com/se4.html that has links to many of the mods out there.

Looks like MOO3 might have been the best thing for SE4 in a long time. All the dissatisfied customers are discovering SE4. Ironic. Glad to see the new people. This place is pretty mature and very helpful. You will like it.

Slick.

To use a phrase that is somewhat out-of-place in this *ahem* mature

forum...

SE-IV has gameplay up the ying-yang, my friend. Enjoy!

I've had the game for over 6 months now. I'm still thoroughly enjoying the original (*) game, and have yet to scratch the surface.

After I played my first game, I tweaked my race's abilities, and tried again...
Then I tried playing them again with a different attack approach (drones-a-go-go

)...
Now, I'm trying a new game with Temporal abilities...
Then I can try, say, Religious...
Then Organic...
Then Psychic...
Crystalline? Sure, why the heck not...
Them maybe I'll try a mix of the advanced traits...
Them maybe I'll try a game using strategic combat only... you know, spend many frustrating/fulfilling hours understanding the behavior of the various ship & fleet strategies...
Then maybe I'll try a simultaneous game instead of turn-based...
Then maybe I'll try the Proportions mod; maybe get lost in that...
Then maybe I'll try Pirates and Nomads; maybe get lost in that...

Then... maybe I'll actually play other humans

It's a race. Let's see if I can burn out on SE-IV before SE-V is released. In this case, I'd say the smart money was on Aaron.

*: Half-true... I'm using the TDM modpack so that I can have more interesting (and varied) opponents...

Greeting and salutations, Gamevet. I've had this game for nearly a year, and if wasn't for this website, I'd probably have lost interest a long time ago. With all the mods and new races, not to mention the camaraderie of all of the members here, it is a really useful place to get all the info you need for this game. Especially since the manual is lacking in quite a few details, which made it frustrating at first until I asked a few questions and got to learn the game better.

You can add my name to the list. I took back Moo 3 today and ordered SEIV Gold.

... yup, MOO3 is the only reason I heard of a small game like SE4, and only reason I'm buying it. Last "unknown" game I'll be buying ever, going to college, won't have time/money to buy anything other than like my Starcraft 2... or Warcraft 3 expansion etc. etc. I think Malafador (I think that's how you spell) should send a thank you note to Quicksilver/Inforgrames for making the piece of garbage MOO3 that brought people to SI4
