Tukhachevsky, are you interested in corping next game? If so, that would open up some other possibilities - like a third corporation, bringing solarwind back into the mix, or going back to the three-vs-three idea we had earlier... which to me still seems most likely to succeed.

...



Yes, I'd be interested in playing as a company man in the next game. I'm pretty solid with most Blue skills, but still quite the novice in the arcane methods of the dark side.

Starting to get familiar with the evi fundamentals in a practice game...

Regarding starting settings, I think the merf is an efficient baseline starter ship, although, but given it's inferiority in exchange value compared to the merchant cruiser, perhaps some additional starting holds(ie- 5-10) might be reasonable.

As was mentioned earlier, I also the presence of other alien races/traders might liven things up as well.

Great, that gives us teams of at least 3 players each... I think.

Still waiting on Pave and King Thor to let me know whether they are interested in joining one of the teams. 4 player teams would be awesome.

It's good to see a few new and a few old names back, hopefully we can slowly grow the Apolyton game back to the size it was a couple years ago. Now if only someone knew how to contact Xentropy...

Well, I guess I have enough time to play on weekends. It would be fun to havee 4v4 corps, and to be in a one, too.

NPR's? Non player races I assume? Sounds good, as long as they don't rig the dom-jot or tri-cron games.

Actually, that's what the upgrade for gold was mainly for, IMO. The Ferengi are so weak in standard games; a decent player can take Ferengal and gain a level 3 citadel planet very early in the game.

The goal is to get a few NPRs (good catch on the acronym, btw that can help to liven things up, make the universe fell more "populated".

Alright, I've been working on the NPR's and they look good to go - when the game starts there will be two races, the Ferrengi and the Cylons, both with very tough home planets and generally beefed up vessels. Later, new races are scheduled to appear - some will be extremely powerful with a small number of huge ships, others very weak with lots of ships. Should be fun for the whole family, but steer clear of the Cylons... word has it they have a tentative peace with the federation, but we wouldn't want to provoke anything

The settings in the first post are the ones that will be used.

Please post in the corporations thread if you are interested in playing on a corporation. I will be running SPQR again, I'm hoping burbel will run a second corp, and hopefully we can have more or less even corps regardless of how many people want to participate in that... if we get 2v2 fine, if more that's even better.

Let me know of any concerns you might have prior to the bang tonight.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot - a ferrengi band is making an appearance in the single's bar right after the bang, be sure to check them out at stardock! I hear they're pretty good. At least, they have really sharp teeth. That's all.

Never mind, after re-reading your last post....I see now that the new game will startup tonight. So, when the game is reset/rebanged, will it take the game "A" slot?

Yes, the new game will take the "A" slot while the old game and the gold experimental game will close down... the test server will rebang as well, with a few modifications to make it closer to the "A" game settings.

One last thing I wanted to ask about - how do you folks feel about Tri-Cron? Go with the default settings again? Or should I raise / lower the starting jackpot?

I say if the settings on the Tri-Cron are going to be changed...I think lowering the starting jackpot would be a good thing.

oops what I meant to say was raise / lower the starting high score... this would make it harder to win or easier... seems like tri-cron is pretty easy money at the start of the game, depending on how fast you hit it.

My mistake...no it isn't. Your server was there and then it dropped off again. I think I'll wait a while to see if you can find out why your server is acting up Aeturneus.

...it might be due to Burbel's massive use of photon torpedoes...

something less teriffying than that actually

there are too many appliances on the circuit the server is on, and when someone who will remain nameless tries to use her hairdryer in the wrong plugin, the breaker flips - hopefully this won't happen again, but I can't guarantee anything

I notice we have three independents in the game. We should see if we can't get a few of them to join as a corp that way we'll have three competeting corps instead of two.

I agree on the independents, it's up to you guys to unionize. Also, is the server down right now? I can't seem to connect.

I just had trouble connecting also... I eventually got on after a few retries. Server seemed to be less responsive than usual... Try connecting to the server web page, which should give an indication if the server is down.

Yeah, a three-corp game would certainly add some more excitement to the galaxy- good times.

Still having trouble logging in? That's annoying - I was doing some fps gaming this afternoon, tends to eat up cpu and that would explain the poor responsiveness but perhaps not the inability to log in. Could it be that the server was full at the time? It only has 4 slots...

I was able to get in more recently, it seems fine now. However, earlier things just seemed down; I couldn't connect to the game, pinging the machine on port 80, 2002, and the ping default didn't work.
