Sorry, been away a few days playing Dragon Age Origins 
<-- Awesome game... I don't think as much of the expansion so far though... 
I really just want to run back into my friends, and the characters in the beginning of the expansion just don't bring the same sense of character as the ones of the first game... 
I never did play Alpha Centauri.
Postpone war with the Klackons?! That's not even right... did they change the tech model MoO2? :S
*giggles* I forget... did they increase the size of the galaxy in MoO2? 8 players at once sounds insane and fun ^_^
There is no such thing as a border when you are neighbor to the Silicoid
How did the war with the Sakkra (and in fact the entire game, if you remember it) go?

Caecilian Wrote:You could try getting the cheapest possible 2nd hand PC. MoO doesn't require much processing power, and would run on practically anything. Of course your PC would be useless for doing anything other than playing MoO or other old games. (BTW: did you ever play Alpha Centauri? That was another old game that was very good indeed; if you got a 2nd hand PC you could play that too ).Probably could... though second hand PC doesn't sound as much fun as shelling out for Alienware... :S

Quote:Xenophobic is an understatement. The point is that you can postpone wars with them with gifts of useless tech. This buys you time to research techs like the wonderful Structural Analyzer (x2 damage to beams after penetrating shields; combine with autofire AP and SP if you can get them, and you're looking at truly hideous amounts of damage).

Quote:Anyway, game #2 is now underway. I decided to play customized Psilons this time (used to play customized Trilarians, as I did in the first game), purely so that I wouldn't have to play against the fuckers. Also decided to play a huge galaxy with 8 players (i.e. max for both).

Quote:So far, so good. Our rivals are: Sakkara, Silicoids, Gnolam, Bulrathi, Humans, Elerians, plus one that I haven't met yet. I'm neighbours with the Sakkara, Bulrathi and Elerians, and sort of neighbours with the Silicoids and Gnolam (started out quite centrally). Predictably, the Sakkara and Silicoids have expanded like crazy, and both of 'em hate my guts. We have a sustantial tech lead, and this time round we're armed to the fucking teeth. Our fleet is roughly the same size as the Silicoids, though smaller than the Sakkara; everyone else has fewer ships. And we have structural analyzers.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
