Hi all!
One of the players in "The Blues" has to drop out of the game. If there is anybody who would like to jump in, please contact me a ludiUNDERSCOREmagisterATwebDOTde, and I'll let you know details about the race.
Cheers,
Matt

A player has requested a replacement in Once More, Into the Breach. This is due to RL trouble; their race is doing fine.
I should note that this is a substantial time commitment; this is a Large Normal game currently at 2509 and running at 2/week, with the end probably many months away (there are still ten races in contention).
PM or email me (same username at gmail) and I will put you in touch with the current player.

Hi,
I put together a StarsBox package for macOS Catalina (10.15):
https://github.com/stars-4x/starsbox/releases
This package is dosbox-staging + Windows 3.11 + Stars! all wrapped together in a clickable app. If anyone uses it, please let me know; I'm interested in the performance and any bugs. I do not use macOS normally and had to use a borrowed machine to get this to work.
Note: Normally WINE (32-bit from homebrew) works quite well if you run macOS 10.14 or earlier, but macOS 10.15+ has problems as discussed here:

I changed some settings for Once More, Into the Breach a few hours ago (notably, taking the game off hold), but the changes still aren't displayed on the game page. Indeed, said page is displaying the time 10 hours ago, a bit before I made them.
(When I went into the Host Utility to confirm that I'd actually made them, they showed up.)
If Ron could look into this, that'd be nice.

Last topics about recording Stars battles are quite a few years old and didn't really help me.
What would be a good, easy (and if possible open source) software to record Stars battles when Stars runs within a virtual xp?
I tried fraps but got error messages due to too old directx-versions. Since I am one of the few non-programers (just a peaceful wargame despising antiquarian *grin) playing Stars I haven't really a clou wether those can be even updated in a virtual xp nor wether this would really help.

Now that I've hammered when's when with this job-o-mine, I'd like to start playing again. Would anybody care for a fast game over a Saturday evening?
I was thinking a blitz with standard rules:
-Distant Starts
-Tiny/Packed
-AccBBS
-No Random
-Play every 4 turns till year 40, every 2 till year 60, and every turn thereafter
-10 minutes/turn
No CA
Standard cheat disclaimer:
- Chaff
- Split Fleet Dodge
- Merge Fleets After Gating
- Mine Damage Dodge
Turns filed via GMail or something.
Edit: doesn't have to be a blitz.

1 week counter to show possible players for a new game..[ 3 votes ] |
1. |
Interested |
3 / 100% |
I recently sent out an email to a number of Stars! players that I've played over the years for a replacement.
I was very pleasantly surprised to see the number of players who were interested in getting their feet wet once again.
I found my replacement, but I think we could do with a new beginner/intermediate game for returning players.
I find myself missing Altruist's FA series games and I did ask him about FA9 .. so if that's going up, awesome!
If not, then someone should throw up a regular vanilla style, simple alliances type game up.
ps - I am shying away from it myself for now, I know.

Greetings.
I am in need for a replacement for the game DD5. I've had so many set backs from schedule problems that I'm not interested in playing this game anymore. Both because this is turning out to be the worse game I've played in this regard so far and because bad involvement is bad both for the game as a whole and my ally.
This is a no diplomacy, 2 players based team game. Because of the nature of the game I'm not open to tell any details about my race so if you are interested to take over and keep the game alive please send me a PM.
Thank you.

We need a replacement player for this game. This is a team game and a no communication game, so I don't know any details about how this race is sitting. If interested, I will get you in touch with your partner and he can fill you in on the details.
Thanks,
David

I cannot maintain the current pace of the game for another two months due to real life. My race is currently in 1st place with 1 ally. Also at war with 2 other players and taking quite a pounding. Race is HE and very MM intensive so make sure you have plenty of free time.

Greetings.
Long hiatus because of a bug hunt combined with a player dropping out resulted in a very long time without any of us sending turns. I think it been well over 3 weeks that I didn't even open a single STARS! turn because of this and unfortunately for me something came up IRL and is taking all the time I would normally have to play this game.
I tried to find time but ended up missing the last two turns. This is unacceptable and I am thus forced to conclude that I cannot continue playing and need to find a replacement.
Game: Stone Age Slog
Player #12: The Metropolitans
Situation: This race is well established and is in position to do about anything right now. A good alliance and good neighbors plus nice starting position near the border place the race territory in a safe haven. Great possibility for research late game with forced BET for every player placing research and tech exchange at a premium.
Files: I have every single turn since day one (except maybe one or two times I skipped a turn) backed up on my HD, plus a Notebook file listing all the important info I gathered so far. Great map on the Notebook files, covering almost the complete universe.
Please contact me ASAP if you are interested. This game have been placed on hold for too long already and I'd hate to have to hold it again.

I have version 2.20.
The "Colony" section doesn't properly handle the situation in which a colony's resources are insufficient to produce 1 factory/turn and there isn't much G on the surface.
The issue is that it deducts the current "amount of factories completed this turn" from the Germanium stocks, but said "amount of factories completed this turn" has the full fraction of the current factory, ignoring the fact that parts of that factory may have been completed on previous turns. This falsely bleeds off "G on surface".
It also drops the current factory if G becomes insufficient due to the aforementioned bug, which then bleeds off resources.
I believe this would also bleed off G and resources on larger planets, but the results are nowhere near as striking.

My Aunt and Parents have asked me if I know some people around in the internet to help my aunt by a voting she made it. I sayed that I know there some people and will give the link to them. So here is a link for the voting of my aunt ( Ute Decker).
So if you have a little bit time it would be real nice. The page is in german but eas to vote so everyone could do it in about 3 seconds.
Thanks for your help.

Just posting to say i'm looking for a standard-ish game to get back into the game. (I forgot how good the tutorial was!)
I'm bound to be very rusty so nothing too strange.
