ok, I have to dial back my excitement. I can't seem to find sphere option in custom (private) games yet. I hope I won't have to wait until the melee beta finishes. :)

I hope all you melee players sign up and get us there soonest.

Posted interest on both options! FREAKING AWESOME ADDONS!! As soon as we can create our own Stealth Game we should do a FOW(Fog of War) Stealth game with 200ly planet visibility and 100-150ly ship visibility.

When I read the news I seriously did some fist pumping!!! YYYYEEEESSSSSS!!!!

@Mule the options have been added for creation. Joshua is working overtime it seems :)

I am now almost entirely without complaints. Joshua has just taken Santa's place. Time to set out the cookies and Canadian Mist.

Come tomorrow if nobody beats me to it, I am planning a Classic / PQ / Stealth / Sphere game.

Just as an aside, I know Joshua has been busy lately and responding at a fevered pace. But, one more thing I would love to see...

The ability to add a minimum tenacity to a custom game.

RE: WOW! First we get Game Interest to help us gather...

A good interim measure is putting a password on the games at creation.
At least that way you can rule out habitual droppers.

Siggi: I thought about the password option, but decided against it because of the extra layer of communications it can require.

I am thinking that I will monitor the "interested" players in any forming game I host and if any seem to be habitual early droppers, I will PM them ahead of the game start. I do not mind a player who has tried and failed and drop when there is no hope. It is only those that kick the table over and quit at the first setback that bother me.

Anyway, I hope everyone is now paying attention to the interested tab. For it to work, players need to use it.

Btw, you can edit the game and add a password. I definitely don't want a player with 11% tenacity.

It's Christmas time, so don't expect a lot of people to sign up for anything.

The nice thing is that it doesn't have to be re-announced every couple of days.

Still, it would be nice to have the tenacity returned to the set-up page.
