Why not head over to
PBW and try your hand and multiplayer while you wait? More players are always welcome, and The Galactic Invasion 2 game against the space monsters needs a replacement player...
Note: The specific game I mentioned uses the
Adamant Mod, and the open position I believe belongs to a Nomad race, which is a very different style of play from stock. It's a cooperative game, though, so don't worry about being obliterated while still learning how things work.
