Hello Distant Stars players!!!

We are pleased to start promoting a community around the mod we love to create and you love to play!

This topic is to help promote online play. No matter what you play, PvP, PvAI or PvPvAI! We will be having regular game times for everyone to gather and join up playing Distant Star!

The meeting place for setting up any Distant Stars game is currently Channel 'Distant Stars' on ICO. Once your there feel free to set up games among each other! Another thing we would like to promote is using Distant Stars in your game name. For example here are some game names: Distant Stars 1, Distant Stars 2, etc etc. You are all smart people.

A Quick Rundown:
Where:
Ironclad Online (ICO) the ChannelDistant Stars; Also our Teamspeak channel.
When:
WHENEVER!

 

Teamspeak:

We have recently started using Teamspeak to exapand the fun we can have. We encourage you to drop in and socialize with us! Any questions about the status of the channel can be directed to -Ue_Carbon.

TS SERVER INFO:

Address- 69.61.15.106

Port- 4293

Channel- Sins of a Solar Empire

 

Also we would like to get a list of ICO players names so we can all add each others as friends, to set up games beyond the set game time listed above.

Current ICO Players Names:

Ryat
-Ue_Carbon
  Pbhead
Draakjackt
Oranos
Roesh Free Traders

Feel free to post up game time beyond the current set times, and letting us know your ICO name so we can add you to the list!!! We will hopefully see some of you ingame!!!

 Warning:

Be sure to turn your graphics settings down to lowest and turn off all of the special effects like bloom and skyboxes...  You're dealing with net traffic and other people's computers so to avoid unnecessary desyncs or disconnects, do your part and turn everything down.

We also suggest you Trim your Empire Tree to reduce mid-end game lag. Play with only the minimum ammount in your Empire Tree as you need!

Congratulations to Moguta, for stomping me good.

I was actually worried there.  You kept those cap-ships a churnin' out.  And I was ridiculously slow in countering those mines with scouts.  Good game.

Here's a couple shots of that large, never-ending battle which we both kept pumping ships into:

Destruction from a close view

There was so many ships in such a confined space, I couldn't keep up with what was what. 

 

Unfortuantely my economy wasn't strong enough to keep up ship production.  Overall I enjoyed the game very much, I just need to figure out how to increase my economy .  I had 100k+ in credits and it still wasn't enough to buy a victory.

I wish I had a reply of just that battle. Would be fun to make a quick battle movie out of it.

Quoting -Ue_Carbon,
Im unable due to time with my son.

 

Quality time with the kid(s) is always more important than a game.

 

Hope to catch you next week.

Moguta popped in for a bit, then had something come up.  I lingered on until 9:45, then my wife took over the computer.

 

Sorry we missed you,  we might try something in the future to coordinate better.

For this weekend's game, are we going to need the 1.05 update and .9551 DS patch?

 

Also, any idea when we'll switch to Diplomacy?

 

Thanks

 

Kevin
