I have been away for a bit, mainly working on upgrading my comp(Bought a new Dell(present from wife), its a slim case POS) and just now started to get back into the grove. I was gonna try multiplayer, so I was wondering where to play? Screennames times etc. I am mainly on after 1am est, and would like some 1v1 space battles. As a side note, I downloaded some mappacks on my old comp, had a good mix including a few yoden maps, but many more besides. Couldnt find the exact ones on file front and I dont really want to DL 20 different mappacks. Any help would be appreciated.

I'd be up for a game or two, franky the AI for skirmish sucks, thought I would be up a campaign on the Core worlds map also.I have been away for a bit, mainly working on upgrading my comp(Bought a new Dell(present from wife), its a slim case POS) and just now started to get back into the grove.

I'd be up for skirmish. If you have Xfire, you can check the Xfire thread I posted up a while ago for my username, and find me when I'm on that.
Otherwise, I'm usually available after like 11:30pm, save from 12/13-12/30ish because of extended hours at work, during which it might be anywhere from 12-1am.

If anyone's willing to write up a little debriefing on their match, I'd be curious to know how it goes. Multiplayer is not something that I can readily test, but it is something I try to balance for. Skirmish, in particular, I've tried to make accessible to Human competition. Obviously the AI is a known quantity, but what works against another person? Also, what doesn't work? Of those things, which are possible due to imbalances in the units?

Here's a link to the Xfire user list thread I made a while back. Add me, and go ahead and post your Xfire name there so I can add it to the list, and add you to my friends' list.Cool I had Xfire, Ill get it again and look you up. As far as times go, is that est?
I think I still might have FRAPS from using it during the FPS test you had on my computer. If not I'll get it again, or use Xfire's video recording. Then I can record the match and post it up in addition to any commentary.If anyone's willing to write up a little debriefing on their match, I'd be curious to know how it goes.

I had a couple matches with BA Boracus a while back, and they seemed to go rather well. Then again, I was the CSA.

Yea, but she is worth it. A very sweet little pup, almost completly trained at 4 mths old. Smart and she aggravates my wifes cats, which makes her perfect in my eyes.No kidding.

You like cats don't you? I like them too, except one is just a mobile stomach with a mechanisim for producing more crap than an entire herd of cows on one end...

I can't disagree... mine was the best dog ever. Challenging though, since we took him off the street, but I wouldn't complain. Heh, when I was 12 or so, I put him in Dark Forces as the kell dragonYea, but she is worth it.No kidding. I had a rescue beagle too.
. Yeah, I've been modding forever...Anyways, I don't want to split this thread (mainly because I'm not sure where a thread about puppies would go), so back to the topic of multiplayer.

GCs aren't multiplayer compatible, due to a lack of scripting capability in MP. But skirmishes are quite fun! Sent a friend request, and added to the Xfire user list.
