Newbie Alert!

Post by Hikaru »

Hey, guys-

Just wanted to post to say hi and introduce myself. I ordered UV on Wednesday, and have been going crazy waiting for it to get here. I'm looking forward to getting to know the game and you guys, and getting absolutely trounced in my PBEM games. Yeah... I think that's it. :)

Impatiently,
D

Be sure to download the patches before you do anything else. Otherwise you will learn all the old ways of doing things. V2.30 is a whole different ballgame from 1.00.:)

Or even 2.2 for that matter.

Significantly so that it should read more like 3.0

Newbies *gasp*!??? Where?????
j/k

Welcome. Even getting hammered in this game is fun - well it when I was still green.

Best tip I've got - when playing human opponents, keep a pen and paper handy to track what is planned, or the state of his damaged capitol ships. Saves a lot of nasty surprises later on.

Never argue with an idiot, he will only drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
