SE:V Crash Course

Hi!

I was recently introducing a friend, via email, to the great game of Space Empires V. So, I wrote up a short, ten page Word document, entitled "Space Empires V: A Crash Course," for him. It's meant to get people into the game as quickly and easily as possible, so I thought I'd share it. It's posted on spaceempires.net, under SE:V Documents:

Thanks.

Sounds excellent, but I couldn't find the file mentioned and the link above does not work, there's only a message saying "this module isn't active". Sad

Thanks! I was actually pretty proud of the pictures...

Yeah... I was surprised at how long it came out. It's not as long as you might think, because of long stretches of indented text to serve as seperators, and the fact that the last few pages aren't strictly necessary, but it's not as brief as I originally intended, that's for sure. Any sections you think might be useful to cut?

Huh. You know, I had that same problem with spaceempires.net awhile back -- about three weeks ago, I'd say. The site layout was different, too, and now that I look, I see it's the same problem I was having. All the new shipsets (which I was trying to download at the time) said that their modules weren't active... The only advice I can give you is to try back later... When I came back after a day or two, everything was back to normal. And functioning, to boot!

Oh my god... Thanks! I feel like a celebrity! You like me... you really like me! Seriously, though, thanks. That'll fix the above fellow's problem, for sure.

Thanks to Kingside_Bishop and Romulus68. I used the version at the wiki, the link above still doesn't work for me.

Your tip about building a cheap satellite with sensors on each planet is a great one. Now my planets will be able to see when no ships are around!

The links you give at the end are handy too.
