Has he linked it to the tracker? There are other means of attracting a playerbase as well, but without that I think he will be missing many people.

Second on the list, been there for over a year.

Ah, that's right. I never even looked in on it. The numbers were always low when I looked at the tracker.

Mostly because it's been in a really rough beta the whole time. But the past few tests have had really good stability, the biggest thing holding it from going live has been building all the tables and researching all the correct dates.

MegaMek's campaign server populations have been low in general the past few months anyway, but that has always been rather cyclical.

Wonder if it would be possible to hold a weekly (?) regular MM session. And advertise it on these forums ofc. Can't really hurt to try to make the TT concept more known via MM. Considering in some threads people pop up who seem to have about the same opinion about TT players as about pedophiles...

I would love to play some casual games. I have a real feel for the setting, but so many of the campaign servers are just way, way too crunchy. I like giant robots and interstellar soap opera for men. I do not like macroeconomics.

[Kami Shinigami]

If there is enough interest for casual gatherings for MegaMek games, I'd be happy to make my server available.

Message me if interested.

Sounds good, and if those MM matches would basically cap available Mechs at 3050 we'd be sort of in line with what is planned for MWO. Not sure how much time you want to spend on this, but if you'Re willing, some sort of announcement in General Discussion might be useful to gauge initial interest.

Ofc considering you might get some complete newbies to MM, you might have to type a few lines what this is about, where to get MM and stuff. I'd willing to help, maybe I could even talk my clan leader into loaning us access to our TS server for a couple of hours if I know it in advance.

[Kami Shinigami]

My server is just a barebones setup... no automatic operations, no factories or production, just a way for people to have live chat & host games with MegaMek. Any caps would have to be agreed on by the participants in each game.

[Mekslayer]

Hey, I am game for joining any good megamek campaigns other than just mekwars if anyone has one going or is thinking of starting one.

You are referencing the MekTek MW4 mercenaries Download. MegaMek is a computer version of the Table Top Battletech Game

But so you dont feel alone, I have that issue as well & have notified the MekTek guys about the bug. I do not know of any fixes as of yet, Sorry.

[GreyGriffin]

To fix the Hesperus bug, you need the Hotfix patch, located here.

But yes, this is a thread about a completely different game. Come! Join us!

Thanks for the heads up Grey!

[Dlardrageth]

Thread hijacking much?

(And it had to be by some MW4 subjects, no less... )

[SillyOne]

It's been so long since I played MegaMek I forgot I had it on the computer! I think I'll download the current version and give it a go.

[Damion Wolf]

I would love to play with some sentient beings but I haven't the slightest clue how.

[Sean Zylos]

This is where you can download the client, it's java based. http://homepage.hisp...ob/megamek.html

This particular link is for The Shack, it's running a persistant campaign where you pledge your alliegence to a House and the battles you fight affect the campaign, as you can capture worlds and raid factories for mech components, etc. There's an interactive map with planetary terrain info, control info, atmosphere info, etc.

If you happen to visit, say hi. I go by the handle "Meep" there.

Edit: Current era is the Amaris Civil War, and the fall of the Star League. The Succession Wars will begin in January.

Sounds like fun, I'm working through the bot campaigns at the moment to get up to speed. One problem I have is that the AI starts doing FF all the time. One game I just sat there and waited until only one mech was left. Is this supposd to happen?

I have no idea! I just play online on The Shack, with the other players. I've never done any bot stuff.
