The times sound good to me :) - I am on EST like Thud13.

1400 EST Saturday? Should be able to make it for at least an hour to 2 hours (I start dinner cooking around 1530/1600 EST).

The options sound pretty good, I personally tend to disable Astro Trains - they may be intended to be a pain in the butt but it goes a little beyond that when they take out defenses with a wave incoming :/. What type of map were you thinking? Simple, Simple Hubs, Realistic, Realistic Hubs?

Also - what version of the game? Vanilla or pre-release? (I think everyone might be up to speed [at 2.6/3.0] with auto-updates version wise by Saturday, but you never know). I don't have the expansion and can't yet get it (discretionary funds are being redirected towards bills this month) - if everyone else will be playing expansion though then I will just bow out and wait for another game w/o expansion.

We started this evening and so far it’s been… interesting…

There’s several non-homeworld planets pretty rich in resources so if you don’t mind joining a game in progress then there may be a planet there for you!

Unless of course you’re psion… in that case you’re already in!

If I'm not around when everyone else is ready then I don't mind if the game goes without me, or carlos takes my place. Chances are that I will be around, but just incase I'm not. First grade fingerpainting homework is brutal.

After playing once I've been unable to get everyone online at the same time to continue :(

I'm closing this thread and probably keep to games with low numbers for the moment. The one part we played was great fun, but I can't see us continuing. Maybe at some point I'll give hosting another go, but for now this is it!
