I came upon a really old lap top that runs just enough for me to run stars on W XP. I couldn't for the life of me figure out dosboxstars for my windows 7 home edition. I've been thinking of stars for 2 months or so now. The game is calling out to me so I'll put up with this slow comp.

Edited because I felt no need to bring up to much info on why I left stars. Short answer someone cheated and the team game we were in was never finished. Forgiven, forgotten, lets play some Stars.

I'll need someone to chat with and preferably use my teamspeak channel for voice/chat to get me into fighting shape for a team game. Looking forward to either experienced player to hone my IT race skills or a new guy to duel and gain exp in an even battle.
I have to much free time thus we can do many turns in one day. Prefer if someone else could host and back up files. Anyone interested let me know.

Virtual box or virtual PC on Win7 might be nicer ways to run Stars

Thanks but I'd just get lost trying to figure out how to set those up.

Introscopia helped me get Dosboxstars running. He's the only one that has been able to help. He described all the steps perfectly. I thank him a lot. In return I am teaching him how to play the game vs AI. 2vs all the AI is pretty easy. All they do is colonize lol. I wish I knew which AI was the hardest/smartest so I didn't bother picking random and getting ones that only colonize. We'll I'm basically just using this game with him to learn population management.

I'll keep my eye open for any new multiplayer games that interest me. If anyone else wants to duel for fun hit me up.

AI Race Specs by Wumpus:
http://wiki.starsautohost.org/wiki/AI_Race_Specs_by_Wumpus_- _27_Feb_2007_v2.6/7

HE's are usually the strongest AIs, named Berserkers...
AR's are next: Kurkonians...

But since even the "strong" AIs are rather weak, you can make it a bit more interesting by giving them a headstart of 20-50 years.

If you want it really tough, ccmaster once set up a challenge with AIs:

PS: Welcome back!

What you want to know is this:
AI types Pirate
Note the AR AI also likes packets if allowed to grow too much. Shocked



So many Stars, so few Missiles!

In space no one can hear you scheme! Deal
