Dark Galaxy

[Ivan]

My friend wanted me to try out this turn, bowser based, strategy game called Dark Galaxy. I've never played it and he never played it. I don't know how he found it.

Has anyone heard/played it before?

I'm going to give it a try cause it's slow paced and most can play even while at work. There's a turn every hour or something like that. So you don't have to be all hard core playing 24/7.

If anyone wants to give it a try too here's the link.

Dark Galaxy Site (http://www.darkgalaxy.com)

You can only join the Jupiter server right now and it hasn't started yet. I guess they are working out bugs and waiting for more players to sign up to start the game sometime mid or end of the month.

[Hamma]

Guess nobody has played it.

[Mag-Mower]

Registered. Username is MagMower, planet name is Auraxis (real original, eh?)

[Ivan]

Haha. Cool.

I named my planet Ozrik.

[Mag-Mower]

Ivan, make an aliance, and we shall dominate the universe!

Ivan: What are coordinates?

[Ivan]

OK I will I'll name it something to do with PSU.

MagMower:My coordinates are 12231, over. ;)

Edit: well, I guess to be more precise, Galaxy 6 / System 6.23 / Planet 12231

We're 4 Systems away.

[Mag-Mower]

Ivan: For reference, My coordinantes are 12274. Currently stumbling arround with making a fleet.

The game hasn't started yet so nothing will happen. :(

Zedd, one of the devs, said somewhere on the forum that it should start sometime in a few weeks. Most players are sayings mid to end of this month.

[Mag-Mower]

Ohhh. Now I know why nothing will que up :p Well, Ill just have to wait, guess Ill read the FAQ, seems pretty cool.

[Ivan]

I set up an Alliance for any PSU guys wanting to give this game a try.(if it ever starts...)

It's simply called Planetside Universe.

[Mag-Mower]

Yea, we need a bunch of people in the Alliance... I feel threatened by my surrounding planets... I see a few that would be nice to take over... See: 12270, 12272, 12230, and 12233.

[Baneblade]

I'm on, planet Babylon, same user name I have here. Dont see the alliance on the list.

I'm at 12278 in Galaxy 6.

[Geist]

Just registered,Planet Andromeda I can't find the alliance either.

I'm at 12278 in Galaxy 6

[Ivan]

I've sent you both invites.

I think the reason you can't find it was cause I didn't have the option to make the alliance joinable.

[Geist]

I need help.I'm trying to build buildings but for some reason I can't.Is there somthing I need to download?What do I need to do to build building?

:D

They are waiting for 6000 players to sign up to start the next round. And they are redesigning the combat system for this round too I read somewhere on the forums.

[Mag-Mower]

This will be so cool, I just know we are going to kick ass! :p

Edit: Just a note, Im one diagonal spot across from Sobekus.

[Ivan]

From what I understand we should try to take "free space" to regroup since we're spread out. Our "home planets will be safe till near the end of the game. I say we head for Galaxy 17.

But we have to wait till the game starts.

[Geist]

This is going to take a while.There's not even half of the amount of poeple needed to play.
And then after that it takes an hour for each turn.I guees this is a game for the extremely patient.Or for the poeple with other games to play on their computer.

[Mag-Mower]

This game isnt desgined to be played hours at a time, just a fun thing to waste a bit of time. See along the lines of Nation States.

[Ivan]

It's something that you can play no matter where you are and you don't have to dedicate 5 billion hours a day to it to get anywhere.

[Mag-Mower]

Just a quick update: They have already started on filling up galaxy 8. Just thought I would let every one know, because, y'know, its just that important.

[Ivan]

Just a little update for those that are interested. The game may start May 6. It's not set in stone. And some other Alliance wants us to merge into their Alliance. I think it might be a good idea seeing as how we all have no clue how to play the game yet. Check the little forum thing we have at the site.

And for anyone else how wants to join us read the first few posts of this thread.

[Mag-Mower]

I vote for a merge, as at this point, we could use any help that might come our way.

[xmodum]

Joined.

Galaxy 8, System 8.54, 16543

Planet name? Xmodium. .....Should have added an "AD" at the end.

[Rbstr]

I'm right next to Xmod, 16544

Xmod, I'm going to invade you ASAP.

[xmodum]

You'll have to invade our alliance then. If it works like EVE, ofc. :P

[Mag-Mower]

I say we merge with this other alliance, I dont feel like being pwned in the first turn...

[Ivan]

Ok.

I think in order to dissban our PSU alliance I have to kick you all out then they have to add us. I'll do it sometime this weekend.

[Ivan]

The Jupiter 2 game starts Sunday 28th May. There is a test "speed game" this weekend. Sign ups for it are separate.

[Mag-Mower]

Bump for importance.

[Rbstr]

It's still in the sign-up phase, arg!

[Mag-Mower]

Going to launch on Sunday, Woo.

[Ivan]

So is everyone ok with dropping our Planetside group to join that other one?

[Mag-Mower]

Im Hesitant, as it would be nice to be in a large group for protection, but then again, we lose our soverign-ness a PSU Group.

[Rbstr]

I need an invite BTW

[Ivan]

I need an invite BTW
Done.

[Rbstr]

It has begun!

[Mag-Mower]

Woo! I got a solar station in the que!

[Mag-Mower]

This is pretty cool. So far I have 3 solar stations, and a launch site, I have a ship yard, mineral extractor, and refinery all qued up. But for some reason, my points went down after i put more things into the que, eh, im sure ill win :p

[Rbstr]

yeah points are based on minerals you have or sommat.

I'm building a launch site now.

Got a reseach center build and I'm training scientists now.

[Ghryphen]

Hmm, missed this thread before. AATraders, dev by Panama Jack, is fun too, will have to check this out.

[Ivan]

Cool I never heard of AATraders.

You guys are like 200 points ahead of me. Maybe it's cause I was late on building my Research Lab.

[Rbstr]

I think we need to merge with a big alliance to be honest.

Oh yeah, fleet tech. is in research, ph34r meh!

[Mag-Mower]

Making 100 Scitentist, got a living quarters on route, and behind that is a farm.

[Mag-Mower]

Hmm... seems to be broken, anything that i try to que, doesnt build...

[Ivan]

No, you might not have enough resources to build it. So it waits at the "0 turns left" untill you have enough resources.

[Rbstr]

You obviously don't have enough vespene gas.

[Mag-Mower]

I have an excess of resources... I need about 40000 Metal, and 32000 Mineral, I have 57000 metal, and 40000 mineral. So i qued up a strucutre with less requirements, and it was still stuck at 0.

[Ivan]

Hmmm, Have you checked to forums? I will after I'm done posting here.

By the way, Planetside Universe Alliance is #66.

[Rbstr]

Do you have enough energy to support the structure?

Anyway: in like 8 turns I'm building a colony :)

[Ivan]

Damn you! You're going to beat me to it! :lol:

[Mag-Mower]

Yea, got enough energy... maybe I need more housing capacity? but even when I que a habitat, its stuck at 0 turns...

[Ivan]

Sobekeus
Hawkeye37... errr "Mastah_Chief" or what you're calling yourself today.
Xmodum

Are you guys going to play? The game has started now. :)

[Baneblade]

Lol, thats a good question...I havent even checked it since the day I registered.

[Ait'al]

I'm joining in. I'll get started if i can still and try to get you my info if you want me.

It said in the planet creation thing that the signups are closed. Is there any way i can get in still?

Edit: Signups are at 6000/6000. Does anyone ever leave the game or is there a new game starting anytime soon?

[xmodum]

Lol, thats a good question...I havent even checked it since the day I registered.

Same here, I'll check it out again.

[Rbstr]

Metropolis hat been built.

ph34r meh Battleships in like a week.

[Mag-Mower]

Rbstr, why did you leave us?!

[Rbstr]

some bigger alliance was like "hey join!" and I was like, "hrm might aswell"

If you guys get into a bigger alliance together I'll join you guys again. Or you could all probably join mine.

[xmodum]

Rob, Always jumping ship to go to something bigger. Tsk tsk. :)

[Smaug]

hay nubs :). I think I might play this.

[Hamma]

:eek: Welcome back ;)

[Rbstr]

you can't join in the middle of a round man.

Anyway: Got 3 planets now, I need to get my fleet building supply chain going, and It's a hard deal to run out of space on the planet, I gotta change All my solar thigns into teh orbitin variety, same with the farms, cause I need to churn out a fuck ton more metal and minerals.

[Smaug]

you can't join in the middle of a round man.
way to ruin my fun :(

hey hamma

[Mag-Mower]

Im getting a 4th planet soon. none of them are really that great though.,..

[Rbstr]

I've got two that are nice for metal min and energy. but fairly poor in food.

That's ok because if you have a launch site you can easily build the space born farm thingy if you have the research done(even without a colony)

[Rbstr]

Hey, I can accept you people into the alliance now We're the ancients, request to join and I'll sort you.
