Yes. I'm up for a game. Teams of two or more or solo? Contact solops@pdq.net

I have the full Version, updated to 2.7j3
If anyone needs links to buy or update, I'll post them.

I played Stars once. There was way too much needless micromanagement in it.

Ok for all you with the demo, I just found out although you can't create new races you can load them, so I or someone else can make a race fitting your specifications and send it to you, and you can load it and play with it.

EDIT: where can I get Version J? I had it but lost it. I'm not sure where I put the file that I got that patches it...

Yes, it can get out of hand, particularly with some races. If you keep the galaxy size down to medium, things stay much more fun.

Till I can get a direct link, look at the Stars! Directory website or Stars! Autohost.

A later Edit : Links:

Thanks Solops, I just got the upgrade now. How about a 1 vs. 1 "Tiny", "packed" universe blitz, with us set "distant" apart?

Also,
Max minerals
Accelerated BBS play
Galaxy clumping
Public player scores

You wana try it? We could put a few comp players to make stuff interesting. I'll be upgrading my copy and perfecting a race, while I await your answer.

And do you want to host or shall I.

I'd love to but I cannot imagine when I could. With my job, commute and family I have dropped to one game on Autohost which has a 72 hour turn-around time. I can manage something like that. And remember, if all turns are in, the game gens automatically, so you could theoretically play a lot of turns in a few hours if both players were available.

Heck, I am not even going to be at home this weekend during the day.....
