Ah yes. I forgot that Space Empires IV was already on the horizon back then.
I agree Stars is a better game, especially the way the Stars allows everyone to do their turn at once, whereas SE3 forces people to do it one at a time, resulting in a much longer turnaround (5 players doing one turn a day would take 5 days to do your next turn).
However, I don't think it would be so bad in a one-on-one game. And the differences between Stars and Space Empires can be refreshing. Much less anxiety over your race design, and lots of different techs not existant in stars, and more weapons variations. Being able to retrofit ships is nice too.
Well, I guess I probably won't be finding anyone to play SE3 with me.  Anyone interested in Space Empires is going to say "Don't you have SE4?" I've already been through that with the Warlords games. Got Warlords, then Warlords II, and a few months later they're pitching Warlords III so I buy that, and as soon as I do they come out with Warlords IV. Got me mad and I quit buying their game. It was always the same game with an enhancement or two, nothing major - If they weren't so damned greedy they'd have patched it into their previous release instead of releasing a "new" game every 3 months and making everyone fork out another $50 each time to stay current. 
I'M NOT AN EXPERT AND I'M OFTEN PROVEN WRONG. TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN YOU READ MY POSTS.
Math?  Ummm, sure!  I do FREESTYLE math.Report message to a moderator
