Proposition: Starshatter Community Multiplayer Event

Hey everyone.

So far its been very hard to find multiplayer games to join. This is partially due to relativly few owning the game and beeing spread out around the globe.

What I sudgest is that we create an event night for multiplayer play. This night someone with a very good internet connection (hint, milo or matrix games) create a dedicated server with a for that event special multiplayer mission.

I would sudgest a mission that involves carriers, cap ships and fighters on both sides and is a death match. Both teams start out in secret locations so they have to find each other by running scout sorties, defending them selfs with patrolls and then finally running assault sorties on the other team.

I think this would be a really good way to show the potential of the multiplayer aspect of the game and to get people interested in playing multiplayer.

Given the spread in timezones this game has so far we would need to run this on a Friday evening or a weekend.

Anyone interested?

Tex

Good idea. Online numbers for Starshatter are never likely to be huge, so a regular date might be smart. A Friday or Saturday night seems best, as it's likely to be a late one for us Euros.

Look forward to seeing y'all online [:)]

Have you taken it off public? I'd drop in if it was open.

IF you guys could setup a dedicated server that would take a load off pheag and I right now, between us we are already hosting 2 sites and I'm running a dedicated, I can suffer the loss now, but when ss kicks up I dont know if between us we will be able to manage
howerever, we would like to be able to add custom missions, mods, and such, which is the main reason we are running this.

just fyi
