Man. The record so far has been 63 players!

Cmon people! We need your help!

Sapphire! You could create your own empire and call it Wolfs Dragoons, Smoke Jaguar, Steiner, House Kurita, anything from the MechWarrior/Battletech universe and that includes having the flag!

I'm thinking of starting my own empire and call it the Collective Earth Defense!

CED vs the PTMC? 

[NUMBERZero]

How'd you guess that it was my plan to run along the Descent 3 story line?
Nahh, we'd be allied.

I'm thinking about it, but I don't have a lot of motivation to start it.

[Foil]

Maybe someone else can start the CED.  We could give them the tech, so they can be roughly competitive, too.

Anybody interested?

It would need to be CTD, Collective Terra Defense

Here's another bug: If, before you enter the game, you mouse off the window, the cursor changes to an up/down arrow (as if you were trying to re-size the window vertically) and does not change back.  At this point, clicking on anything is disabled, and task manager must be called up to terminate the program.  Using XP.

Thanks for the report, WP.  I'll post it over at the PTMC Forums (there's a bug report section there being monitored by the developers).

You are welcome, I just downloaded the newest update, haven't played since last week.  I think I am very close to making a capitol. 

[Foil]

Awesome!

If you haven't noticed, we've had a 'boom' in the number of players.  There are usually between 30 and 60 people online at any given time now.

So if you have any more questions, there are usually folks on the galaxy-wide 'Hail' channel, some of whom are willing to help.

Enjoy!

And some of whom are willing to blast you into a million tiny pieces XP

Servers down today. Yesterday I made the capitol, so I went to the management screen and it warned me not to set my city as capitol of the empire until I had some spaceships.  So I went to work on that.  I was very close, but it's a lot of, 'oh, gotta have this to make that but first need...' so I just started to build one of each.  Got eaten several times by local creatures, I hate it when they do that. nom nom nom... 

[Matthew]

Imo that warning message shouldn't even be there...

[Foil]

AFAIK, it's there because having a Capitol and being on the empire list can make you a target.  With city defenses not (quite) implemented yet, your best defenses come from ships and stations.

There is at least one empire out there that I know of, who are just going around and taking cities, rather than building up their existing ones.

[Matthew]

You can be declared war on without having a capital.

Also, I'm well aware of those types of evil empires, and rest assured I have plans for them.

Well, I got SUV's and Motorbikes today! Did not really care for the suv too much, get's stuck too easy, and hard to see out of.  So I took a bike all the way around the perimeter of the land mass I am on.  I think it is more of an island than a continent.  I also have a rocket but haven't tried to fly it yet.

Foil, are you saying the missle and laser and sheild basses don't work?  I built a laser base and missle base and got dinged for having two bases with less than 500 population. But my population is very near 500 so I kept the bases. Just gotta build a few more houses.

Got another question, aren't cities supposed to share resources?  I started one city but it had no ore, so I started two more. But now the third is growing, the other two cannot due to not having the resources.
