Evening/Weekends GMT long-ish game

[PineappleSam]

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!

Whens the next play session?

[Lancefighter]

uhmm.. whenever we all are on. Sam usually adds us all on steam and messages us when we are all online :p

[Cydonia]

Shall we move this thread to "ongoing games" or open a new one there?

[carlosjuero]

Ok - I have added a few of you on Steam.

My steam ID is http://steamcommunity.com/id/carlosjuero - yeah, not very original w/ the nick eh? Guess what? XFire is the same :p

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.

We continuing this weekend?

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!
