Starcon2 multiplayer?
« on: October 27, 2008, 12:05:45 am »

Are there IRC channels, hamachi groups, whatever dedicated to Star Control?

I've spent a few minutes googling, and the best I've found so far is #starcontrol on EFNet, which appears to be relatively low activity at first glance.

#sc2 and #uqm-arena on irc.freenode.net. The former is for SC2 and UQM discussions in general, the latter is for UQM network supermelee.

Activity is usually quite low on Freenode as well. I think it might be time to start another tournament soon.

Why don't all races have point defense lasers?

why don't we just set up a lobby in the UQM melee game that lets you go to a server where people are? You could then challenge people to games through it with some sort of protocol.
To simplify it could just be an IRC chatroom for beta versions.

Wasn't Novus already working on something like this? Whatever happened to that?

You have a life? I'm jealous. I wish I had the time for one of those thingamajigs. Though looking at the economy, maybe soon I will!

I had a trial version a few years ago. Never got around to getting the full thing.

I think I asked about this from someone in the channel, and they told me that it was a hell to make even the IP entering box or something like that. So if you can program, do it yourself, lots of fellows could have use for it.
