I've been having to get my eclipse fix via the I-pad. Just not the same. About the only race I don't win on a consistent basis on the hardest setting is with the Eridani. That disk penalty is hard to overcome when everyone else starts with Dreadnaughts. I don't even try the Hydrani anymore as I always crush the AIs. Playing as the Draco is frustrating if you don't get starbases or improved hull right out of the gate as everyone comes for the ancients. You are on the defensive most of the game but I usually pull out the win even still.

(Sigh)

This looks to be stick a fork in it dead. Too bad to as this one looked to be shaping up to be a very balanced 3 way fight.

[Imperial Historian]

Yeah it's a shame, this died. I haven't had a game of eclipse for a while, when is the android app coming?!?!

[cerveza_fiesta]

Ahoy mateys.

Apologies for the extended leave of absence and sorry I killed the game.

It seems like a lame excuse to say "things got busy", but it's the truth. I've hardly been using the internet for recreational purposes at all and life commitments are taking up pretty much 100% of my time.

Considering that this game is a wash at this point, anybody feel like sparking up a new one? I understand if you'd rather not have me as a player of course, considering I have a blemished track record now!

[Gnaw]

Hey there. Hope all is well with you.

For the record, I think I was the one who killed it.

[Tapper]

I could join a new one, but I would prefer if we did that after the holidays.

[Imperial Historian]

I think everyone is equally culpable in the demise of this one. I've not had time to mod it properly.

I'd join as a player, but I couldn't mod. I could maybe do the odd update though.

[D'rek]

I probably won't play another one, unless we wanted to try and actually make it go a LOT faster (like commit to do it all in one day sort of thing)

[twelve]

You can always count on me to join. Wish I could Mod but just don't have the skills nor the time to do something like that. Ipad Eclipse isn't much fun and my sons are waaaay to young to have an enjoyable heads up or three way game so it's all I have at the moment.

[Imperial Historian]

I would be up for a game which was done relatively quickly, say 2 or 3, pre-agreed 4 hour sessions. last time we tried to do one in a day it just didn't happen as it just took to long to refresh and upload the maps.

Of course if anyone wants to show up in Manchester I'll happily host a real life game

[twelve]

played a game on the IPad last night as the Draco against the AI on the hardest setting. Killed it. 64 points, maxed out my tech (didn't think it was possible as Draco) built 6 monoliths. Only fought something like 4 battles all game. Was helped out by the Planta walling of the Eridani in the first round and the Planta and Mechanema took turns beating up the Orion. Also managed to grab two tier 1 hexes but only one was accessible to assault. Totally turtled it up. Had to grab hulls and shields since I wasn't able to grab missiles but they are very effect on a starbase and dreadnaught defense against missile ships.

[D'rek]

Hey, did you guys know there's ANOTHER expansion out?

It has time travellers, the Zerg and the Borg!!!

[Morgoth]

..wait what?

It certainly looks interesting, will have to pick it up and give it a try.

Look's like there were two more mini expansions as well:

What?! This has to be a joke. If not then there has to be some sort of copyright issues with the StarCraft/Star Trek franchises.
