TOG - The Older Gamers

I'm currently playing TEC for learning purposes. Was first one I was randomly allocated and have remained with them during the two games I've played. I've played co-op with Duma against one enemy. This enables time for learning. Will introduce pirates next.

Edit: Duma & I discussing the potential for a P V P multi game with 2 per side in co-op. We still need a little practice to try and learn what the hell we are doing but maybe in near future, some of you may be interested.

yep for sure, kids/life permitting as normal

I play advent.. nice streamlined ships and nice voices to listen to while nuking planets.

Great - I'll let Duma know. Will be a little while. End of this week heading to Palm Cove for Duma's wedding. 1 week palm cove and another in Noosa. Hopefully not long after we return, we can arrange a game - RL permitting

the game isn't going to disappear

.. hell we still play DODS! so just poke me on xfire, and as long as we plan on gaming over a few nights (by saving the progress) it should be good fun.

Ive got the game and played a few games against the PC. Bit too slow for my tastes but playing against/with toggers could be fun.

Please include me as well - like the rest of you I only have practice against the computer but not much against human opponents. I'm on the Pacific Coast of the US, so if you're at a comparable time during the weekend give me a shout.

at the risk of repeating myself

xfire is the way to go when getting a game going. Add those in this thread and see if people are sitting around online.

btw, here is a nice graphics mod if you find the vanilla SOASE a bit dull

Be aware that you may have to turn the mod off after each official patch until the author brings it up to speed again.

Hi - back from sunny QLD but Duma now on his honey moon. I don't actually have x-fire. I use STEAM for checking who is online. Will have to check x-fire out soon.
