Archive of the pros versus modders game and current MP setup thread

As most of us know, there are two main communities in Sins of a Solar Empire, one for multiplayer and one for modding. Bar the occasional group of friends playing a mod on ICO together however, these two communities rarely interact with each other, besides occasional discussions of game balance.

 

Therefore I propose a little icebreaker in the true Sins fashion, complete with the typical disintegration of metal, screams of nuked worlds, and if we're lucky even the rare space pony sighting, that we've all come to know and love, regardless of which form of Sins we get most of our entertainment from. Yes, I think its time for the first ever Pro Player vs Modders MP game! :grin:

 

Of course as we are meeting in the Pro player's home court, I think in the interest of a semi-interesting game the modders will need a team advantage of some sort. Any ideas on the exact number of players on each team as well as the best time to arrange this will be welcome (I'd guess sometime on Thanksgiving weekend). And of course, if you're interested do let us know.

I'd like to have one pro player sort of be in charge of the logistics of making the game who promises to be there, presumably if any of the other pros don't show we can find substitutes at the game launch. As modders don't often log on to ICO don't commit unless you're sure you can make it at whatever time we agree on. Also if possible I think it would be nice for as many different mods as possible to be represented, but obviously filling the roster comes first.

The Pros are pros because they don't have any issues frequenting ICO...they are by their very nature the people most likely to get a team together on ICO for any purpose....

Very true.

 

If it's after 9-10pm I will likely be showing up. Anyone left around by them (probably Sinperium and a few others) I will be up for a game. Maybe even on my new computer at that point. ^_-

I can def be there right around 9pm.  Some chance before--more likely the closer to 9 it is (EST).

It's deciding between SoaSE and a girl. Sorry, but I don't love the game that much. Modding I can do in my off hours.

I don't blame you...go for the girl....

He has failed.  He loves a girl more than his game.  He has joined the Unity.

love might be stretching it at this point and I admit that Sins is more user firendly at times, but the 'achievements' are more worth the time it takes to get them.

When I miss Sins because of my wife it isn't love that makes me miss it but fear ;)

Well, that'll come up should I ever have that oh so heavy band of metal wrapped around my finger. Until then...

First off ... this is absolutely true. They are indeed worth it. ^_-

Secondly, the metal band is not all that heavy ... and my wife is addicted to Minecraft and Sims 3 so ... when she gets to play video games, I get to play video games. :-) I feel there is a healthy Christmas investment in the works. ^_-

Yeah ... too bad she isn't into games like Sins, Battlefield 2, Galactic Civilizations, or the Total War series. At least she occasionally plays StarCraft 2.

o_O as in one game? Yes ... yes it would.

Nooooooo....well, yeah, a galactic civilizations game with epic tactical battles would be cool...

But having a girl who was into those games was what I was referring to....

Depends on how competitive she is. If she keeps mopping your ass, you might not like her in the long run.
