    So if someone were to pick up the base game now, would they be able to play with peeps from UFP? Does everyone play on a specific server or is there a Grand Multiplayer server one accesses in the game? I know I'm probably asking a stupid question, just from reading about it it looks like a single player game, which obviously it is not.
    We have one person hosting usually the event host, You only need the base game to play as the dlc will be shared from the host, The server is only live when the host has set it up and is playing too

    Check out the Events Section. There's two regular events (that I know of).

    One on Friday: https://ufplanets.com/events.php?694...-Stars-Take-Us
    and one on Tuesday: https://ufplanets.com/events.php?695...TIC-ASCENDANCY

    If you're joining a campaign that's already started (as those above are) then you can take over an AI empire, if there are any left. Plus, if you pop onto teamspeak and ask about it you might find someone/people who will glad startup up a session with you right then and there.

    Also, give it go in single player, too. There's a lot to take in when you're getting started, lots of things to manage and little story bits to read for the RPG element of your empire which it is nice to pause the game and read through properly. It isn't always possible to take that time in a multiplayer game.

    You're definitely welcome to join us on the Tuesdays. We're currently midway through the 24th century, the only thing is I don't know how well the AI empires have developed.

    I'm not sure where the Friday game currently is though

    I've been playing the one planet challenge the last year or two, since that big update which changed how planet pops work added a ton of lag to the game.

    Probably the same reason that I play murderous death machines. Can't have pop lag if there are no alien pops!

    Glad to see they fixed a lot of the lag in the most recent update though.

    I'll probably play single player for a bit to get up to speed. Looks like a good game. Knowing that we have peeps that play it also just makes it that much more tempting.

    Interesting...but I probably Am to "slow" for you...
    Nonsense. Whatever you implied with the quotation marks, we're always happy to help people out understanding the game better. Plus you can join on the 1st game and at least give it a try and see how you like it Smile

    Well thank you but I don't meant that. I think that 550 hours on Stellaris, 700 hours on EU4 and 4.000 hours on CKII are enough to understand how PDX games work.
    What I meant with "slow" is that for me even Speed 1 is sometimes to fast.
