Well there isn't much to tell about me...I love every sci-fi related, I'm specially fond of the star wars universe (namely the movies and games) and I have a thing for 4X games. :D Oh and love space sims. :mrgreen:

Hey DarthspacerWelcome to SSC and I like Star Wars fan but more Trekkie fan (only because of MR Lucas)I really like Nexus TJI myself and there is some excellent mods being worked on for that game.

I liked Nexus though I wouldn't really categorize it as a 4X game, more like a homeworld kind of game.It's enjoyable nonetheless, and I didn't know about the mods. I have since lost the CD, but if I find it for sale at steam or GoG I'll check it out again, thanks for the tip mate. ;)Oh and the star trek series are nice too, but I still prefer star wars. :P

Hi DarthspacerWelcome to the SSC :) So your a 4X'er fan? Have a fair few of those myself, Space Empires 4 & 5, Gal Civ 1&2, Armada 2526, Sins Of A Solar Empire, Sword Of The Stars and last but not least, Moo 1, 2 and 3. I still think Moo 2 is great ;) As for Trek vs Star Wars, your both wrong, Babylon 5 beats them both and Blake's 7 beats that! :P :lol: :lol:

Hi DarthSpacer, welcome to the forums.Geraldine don't forget Star Ruler and Distant Worlds, both pretty new. And I'm glad you didnt neglect to mention Moo3 :) So many others do. I actually really liked that game... After the patches were eventually released along with some decent mods. Yes it was nothing like the originals, but a good game all the same.MoO2 still wins though :) Maybe followed by SEV (I never really played IV but I heard its supposed to be better).B5... What about Firefly? Or BSG?

Well that's all the ones I have S20dan, mind you I forgot about Starlord on the miggy, that was a mix of space sim and 4X, great game that, oh and Reunion too was a bit 4Xish.BSG & Firefly? Mmmmm, yes they were good, but Blake's 7 still tops the lot for me. Nothing like a really cheap British sci-fi show :lol:
