Thanks to all of you who just played a 3v3 match with me tonight.
I played the demo a few times, then picked up the game the other day. I've been trying to get into a match for a couple days, but this is the first one I actually got into and played.
We had some lag problems, I don't know if it was the host or some problem along the network. One player dropped out at the first long lag spike. Then it was silent for a while and someone else said he was leaving becuase he thought everyone else had gone, but the other 3 or 4 of us were still there.
I started making some progress, then one or two other player dropped out. Then I tried and failed to raid a players home planet, I had to withdraw to my closest base, but I had reinforcements on the way. The red player chased me back to my planet where I had retreated, but I had other ships queued up and heading that way.
Then, I got a phone call and had to alt-tab out to check a few things in my browser, but I could hear a hectic battle in the background. When I got off the phone, I alt-tabbed back in and saw the Victory screen.
I don't know what happened, but I know I completely missed the big battle. At the end, the screen showed only me and one other human player still on, the other four had disconnected.
It was fun, but a little odd with the lag and people dropping out. I was just happy not to get wiped out in the first few minutes of my first multiplayer game.
Thanks for game. gg
