Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

It occurs to me that the way to really test the races from a blance point of view is to play a few KOTH sytle one on one games with players of similar experience. If anyone wants to have a game with me let me know.

I'd suggest:
No AI's
Medium or small standard map (small would probable test better wich race is good early on and vica versa)
Use default 2k emp files.

If you are looking for large numbers of people in a chat, IRC works much better than MSN.

David G a KOTH game would be a great idea. I know that I am learning a lot about the mod playing it with UserX and Kwok. We played again tonight.

IIRC is great, but MSN is more private.

If you want private IRC you just make your own chat channel and have them come in, or send a query- think that's it..in mIRC a double-click on the name opens a person-to-person chat window.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

MSN is not more private. You can run your own IRC server (it is not IIRC), and only allow those whom you want to join join. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Less drastically, you can lock out channels to random visitors, and make it invite only. Then, you can not join unless the op has invited you.

Good points guys,

Bahhh, those ships were obsolete junk and we had planned on using them for target practice within a month or so.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

We offer the peace treaty as we have in the past. It is not our desire to see inocent Klingons slaughtered no more than the Romulans would envy the death of their people. It was you, the Federation who planeted this seed of peace, and we are only attempting to cultivate it.
