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

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 PbheadDraakjacktOranosRoesh Free TradersSyneptusVonlesto{SB}=>Dead_rat{SB}=>WarfleetMr.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!
I only have Entrenchment
Until further notice.
Dont worry. I will get Diplomacy soon...
OP WAS UPDATED.
You forgot to add my nick to the list :>
Ditto.^
Osan.
I'd like to get in on more games.
Masakary, I gave your name to add with the others, and honestly, I forgot to verify the updated OP while he was still on to make sure they all got added since it was handed over during a flurry of activity, so my fault, I'll try to get it added tomorrow hopefully.
Osan, sorry, I hadn't even met you yet when I handed over the list of recommended changes to the OP, so I'll see about getting you added tomorrow as well.

Your typing is never amazing, but it looks like you just got hit with the dyslexic tree.... the whole damned tree too.
Damn Draak, You are in rare form Bison...
Hey, i can type just fine. When i have the time to do it correctly, i was in a hurry.
Take all the time typing you want, it's not like you're late to a MP game or anything. ;]
What's this Multiplayer patch? Can we get some kind of change log?
The multiplayer patch is just a patch that added in some things from the sins optimization project to improve online play speeds. Change log was posted a couple pages back. Normally I'd make some snarky insulting comment, but after being the star of the party last night I guess I'm just out of juice... Anyway, probably should link to it next time the OP is updated with the names.
-=As posted by Carbon=-

~Osan
Also: Anyone going to up for a game this weekend (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) preferably at the times above?
we will see, Saturdays are the best day
I have gotten Diplomacy!
hurrah!
There's not really much changed between entrenchment and diplomacy, but still... Nothing like winning without firing a single shot outside of self defense.
Hey. Love the mod. Been playing it a while. Disp is Cirro Fox online Open to games every weekend
What version of DS is needed to play it on Diplomacy now?
Currently, DS for Diplomacy is at version (0.7). An update is expected to be released in the extremely very near future.
Multiplayer currently has a patch for DS0.7 to cut down on lag and slowdowns. Follow the instructions at the top of the page in purple.
Post update to the main game, the patch will likely be completely unnecessary.
I have Returned from the land's of C++ and EVE.
