Hello Distant Stars players!!!

We are pleased to start promoting a community around the mod we love to create and you love to play!

This topic is to help promote online play. No matter what you play, PvP, PvAI or PvPvAI! We will be having regular game times for everyone to gather and join up playing Distant Star!

The meeting place for setting up any Distant Stars game is currently Channel 'Distant Stars' on ICO. Once your there feel free to set up games among each other! Another thing we would like to promote is using Distant Stars in your game name. For example here are some game names: Distant Stars 1, Distant Stars 2, etc etc. You are all smart people. :P

A Quick Rundown:
Where:
Ironclad Online (ICO) the ChannelDistant Stars; Also our Teamspeak channel.
When:
WHENEVER!

 

Teamspeak:

We have recently started using Teamspeak to exapand the fun we can have. We encourage you to drop in and socialize with us! Any questions about the status of the channel can be directed to -Ue_Carbon.

TS SERVER INFO:

Address- 69.61.15.106

Port- 4293

Channel- Sins of a Solar Empire

 

Also we would like to get a list of ICO players names so we can all add each others as friends, to set up games beyond the set game time listed above.

Current ICO Players Names:

Ryat
-Ue_Carbon
  Pbhead
Draakjackt
Oranos
Roesh Free Traders
Syneptus
Vonlesto
{SB}=>Dead_rat
{SB}=>Warfleet
Mr.G

Feel free to post up game time beyond the current set times, and letting us know your ICO name so we can add you to the list!!! We will hopefully see some of you ingame!!!

 Warning:

Be sure to turn your graphics settings down to lowest and turn off all of the special effects like bloom and skyboxes...  You're dealing with net traffic and other people's computers so to avoid unnecessary desyncs or disconnects, do your part and turn everything down.

We also suggest you Trim your Empire Tree to reduce mid-end game lag. Play with only the minimum ammount in your Empire Tree as you need!

About the times...  The GMT times are wrong if they're supposed to represent the Eastern time in a second time zone.  Currently, 9pm EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) is 12am GMT, and 4pm EDT is 7pm GMT.

 

If you want everyone to be showing up at the same time, it's kind of important to get the times correct.  The US isn't in Standard Time right now, we're in Daylight Saving Time, so that changes things by an hour right there, and not everyone uses Daylight Time, so if the GMT time is suppsed to mirror the EDT so that everyone has the correct time no matter where they are, then the adjustment is -3 for EDT currently, not -4 for EST like it would be in Standard Time.

Time zone have been fixed. Sorry for any confusion. Reminder that we will be in the Diplomacy/Trinity ICO server. In the Distant Stars section.


Also -Ue_Carbon has found a free Teamspeak server we can use to help get everyone on the same checksum, set up games, and chit chat. If interested let him know.

Should be able to hop on tonight. I have teamspeak AND all the expansions. Not sure, but think my ICO name is the same as here. Will say if I find otherwise.

Well the game was going pretty well until my router reset.  Stupid techonology >:(

 

Sorry about that guys.

 

Looks like its time to upgrade.

That was awesome, pity I couldn't go through the first set :'(  

but the second run was fun, taking on two unfair AIs on two fronts was a blast, and hard to do

Reply #119 Top

You can if you want, thats why the times are up ahead of time. I know alot of us have things around the house to get done. So i dont know if the same crowd will make it again. Doesnt hurt to show and and see though.

Reply #120 Top

I am going to try to make it at 9pm 3rd.  My ingame name is GShepard.

Gave up after 20 mins of no-one entering the channel X(

Reply #122 Top

No one will probably be there for another hour and a half, since that's when the posted time is.

Reply #123 Top

I should be online to play sometime today...hopefull at the schedualed time if not later tonight. Can I expect another night of TS awesomeness?

Reply #124 Top

April 3rd @ 5pm EST (9pm GMT, peak time for EU)    gah I guess I forgot, I am in the timezone GMT +1 so 10 pm =s damn =(

 

 

Ah did some more 'searching' to find out the timezone crap ( Always confusing to me...) From what I can tell, 5pm EST is 10 pm GMT and not 9 pm GMT

 

''EST is 5 hours behind GMT''   so 5pm + 5 = 10 pm + 1 ( I live in The Netherlands that is GMT +1 ) so 11 pm, I doubt I will make that time ever, considering matches can take a hour or two if lucky, and I prefer a good night cycle rather then not. x_x


A shame really, I was looking foward to this as a regulair thing..

Well, if enough people see this and want to figure out a game time that works for you, another game session can be preplanned.
