Have any of you all ever played Stars!? Wanna PBEM?(Please???)

[Cyrien]

Packet physics races is one of the reasons I liked Alternate Reality.

what about we set up a demo game of stars!?

it will be a limited universe (i think the demo only allows small and tiny universes) and we will have only 10 tech leves in each Category (but since there are 6 categories the total would be 60 tech levels and we willbe limited to the pre-generated races from the demo (there are 6 if i remember correctly)...

the advantage of playing the demo would be that everyone that wants could play it, and will be good for the newbies, because veterans of stars! would no be capable of using some advanced tactics that are only feasible at higher tech levels... (i can be considered a vet of stars! but my playing style is horrible, so i prefer to be considered a veteran newbie ).

So, what you think people?

If you all are still up for it I am, get the Version I demo from the links earlier in the thread and I'll host it. Also you can custom name the default races and give them passwords, this will be important for you to do.

Or, if you want I can still customize a race for you and you can load that into your game.(yes this works on the demo, I've tried it )Just tell me your specs. and preferences and I'll do the best I can.

bumps? Where'd they go......

[Makinus]

i'm still here... lurking.......

but seriously: a good start game would be a 6-player game in a small universe with the demo Version, with every player selecting one of the pre-generated races....

I suggest that you (Hugh manate) try to get the name & e-mail of the players that want to play with the demo and ask them to sendo their race files (that will be one of the pre-generated races of the demo with only modifications in the name and simbols), then generate a game.....

Put me in your list, my e-mail is stevaoaccadrolli@brturbo.com

When you have at least more 4 players (that with you and me will be 6), send a mail to each one requesting their race files, so we can start....

Ah, and instead of downloading the demo Version available in the official site, download instead the shareware Version 26b available at this site:

http://library.southern.edu/stars/kn2050.htm

It's an earlier Version without the 80 turn limit of the demo Version available in the official site, but it have all the other limitations (no custom races, only 10 tech levels, only small maps, etc.).
