Starport: Galactic Empires

Hello All, hope everyone had a Happy New Year! I should pop in and play again, I have fond memories of Starport, and still remember a few people that still play.

WOW, some of the names in that screenshot bring back memories. Thanks for showing that bit of nostalgia.

Always good to see names I remember from years back. I feared Relentless on many servers, but eventually learned to live with him on some of my favorite servers. So many good players, come and gone, but the memories live on in those of us that remember the beginning of SGE.

I don't even know you...lol

Welcome, you're subjects await your retuen...ROFL

Just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, or Happy Holiday. Friends, family and best wishes for everyone.

Isn't Fornax the one with a bazillion black holes?

This game seems to have been here forever, and eventually people return. I've played obsessively for many years, been disgusted for a few, left and returned over and over. I have to say I still check in although I no longer have any perms to play, and have forgotten many of the finer points of playi...

I remember fondly the days of the one shot solar. I could actually invade some planets when I only had to navigate one shot. I think it would be interesting to have a retro perm like that.

Check out the newest perm and most likely you'll find old players, but they may have new names. Just ask around, someone always knows the new name an old player is hiding behind.

I'm still playing the occasional rebang and logging into perms to see what's happening. I've been around since 2006 and sometimes that seems like a really LONG time. Good to see old player names.

Well at least now I know I'm not the only one. Thanks for posting so I can tell if it's a server wide issue or just me. I have emailed Toonces on his emergency email to let him know. Now we have to wait to see when it gets fixed. If anyone suddenly has the ability to log in please note it here. Thanks

Anyone else having issues loading SGE? I'm getting the reinstall error code. I've reinstalled numerous times and it still won't allow me to log in so far today.

FYI for anyone checking this thread. Currently you don't make much off of selling artifacts to ports, so no one is going to make a fortune with that tactic. You still need to trade, kill NPC and make money the old ways.

Wow....all I can say is how awesome that is.

SSDD.....same BBQ, different day/Perm.

Try sending Toonces a PM and ask him. He's the only one that can do anything with it.

Hydra is incredibly laggy. You hit enter and bounce off the port into the system, only to find you show up in port. Flying around my ship bounced from one side of the system to the other. Tonight an NPC almost killed me. I would get away, then bounce right back to in front of it again. I couldn't le...

PM him instead. I doubt he'll notice your note here. He scans threads but you'll get better results by sending him a polite PM.

Nice job with the walk through. Comments if anything needs to be adjusted or someone has a better option for settings and such.

Now that I've totally recovered from my accident more than six months ago, I might just check this out. I've been disgusted and after being gone so long I didn't want to log in to find everything I used to have gone from the time I missed. I might just have to drop back in and learn to play again. I...

Sometimes a complete re-install is needed. Don't forget to delete all the program files associated or you'll end up doing it multiple times.

SGE players never go away, we just hibernate and return like re-runs of T.V. shows long forgotten. Been a LONG 8 years since I first started.

Sorry I've been gone. I got in a car accident and have been out of commission. I totally missed the Pax Champs. I'll see if I can get into the PK tourney and get some screens before it's done.

I wanted the ability to pay for pollution from existing cash when and if you token clean a colony that has no cash on it. Toonces made it where you can clean from your bank cash, but you have to physically visit the planet. My idea made it where you didn't have to go to the handful of planets that h...

I like the idea, but I'd like to be able to handle pollution more efficiently. I'd like to see all planets able to produce at least some tax for cleaning, without suffering. I would increase the viability on volcanic's a bit to make them more stable and coveted like they were years ago. Ports as lon...

Has the time for Taureen come and gone? Is it time to retire it and move on. How do people feel about it? I've only heard people say it's a dead server. Not a lot of active people left there.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to actually get to a billion exp. The experience is so slow for those in the top spots, it's almost like it climbs at a snails pace. You don't actually get increases quickly, or I'd have made it to a billion on the first Classic Homeworlds.

PM Toonces with any concerns at support@starportgame.com

Visit one of the rebangs and read the news for most of the recent updates before you set your stats on a perm. Some have changed or gotten more powerful. The same can be said for the revisions on some of the artifacts. A new function /testsolar will allow you to see how your solar will function on y...

I like the new /testsolar option. It gives me an opportunity I usually wouldn't have been able to view. Good job Toonces!
