<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Gandalph, you can setup the game on PBW anytime you'd like. Just set it as stock 1.84 but state clearly in the description that it's a mod game and you can even put a link to where the people can get the mod. This will allow you to get started on getting people joined in the game. I will have the mod ready for you by the time the game is ready to start and can change the mod for the game then. Actually as long as the mod is on there by the time the players all get their first turn in you can even start the game without the mod on PBW. But it shouldn't take me that long. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Megatrain - Due to the excessive cost of the bridge, I don't think it can be retro'ed, but I could be wrong (I will test this evening). The Tug is escort size. The Game Master would have to keep an eye on the Tug to verify it's 2 MP's, until I revise the mod to make a different, and racial specific, hull size. Thanks for catching that.

I will set up the first match this evening and players will be on a first come first served basis. I honestly expected a greater response to this as I thought most people would think like me and look for some different way of playing on PBW. Well, we'll see how the sing up goes.

Have fun, and PEACE!!

I have revised the mod as it was possible to retro the design. The Tug is now a racial specific 100kt transport and I gave it 3 MP's and supply generation of 50 per turn.

The game is now setup at PBW, which you can get to by clicking here. We will start the first game when we get 8 players.

Wow, had to bump this off page 2.

We have 3 players now, looking for 8 total. Anyone else up for an interesting challenge?

C'mon people, sign up for this baby so we can get it going! My computer isn't getting any newer http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Ok, well I just applied to join. I'll give it a try. I'll get man handled probably but it should still be fun. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Since the player can't retrofit it back to the original state, it would be plainly obvious when they attempted to claim the win ("ok, but I don't see a tug class ship in orbit of your homeworld, so you don't win")

Also, if/when the tug is destroyed, do you place it back at the center, or where it was lost?

Re: Tug of War - Progress Thread
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The ship can no longer be retro'd as it is racial specific. I have not yet decided on whether the ship would be placed at it's lost location or back in the center, so this is open for debate. I am leaning to back in the center as a sort of penalty for not being able to get it home.

As you said a penalty for letting it be destroyed or some such. Just an opinion.

Re: Tug of War - Progress Thread
 

Gandalph... Sorry I think we lost our emails on this one. I will be the tug... Mod the tech tree to include the unique Trait TUG... With cloak level 5 or 6... so a cloaked ship can watch the tug... and make sure the game ends properly...

The tug race would have unique engines , cc and a unique QT Reactor... zero maintence and no damage...

I can make the map if you want to play ....
