Joining Games - Required Rank and Team Games![]() Tuesday, July 19, 2011 A change has been made to the policy when joining "Officers Games". Previously you had to have the required game rank in the race you were choosing. Now with the new policy you may join any race in the game as long as you have the required rank in any race. The goal of these games is to get better players playing against each other but not to limit the number of possible opponents. In addition we'd like to point out that Team games are now available and open to all players. All players are welcome to join either as a group of three or as individual players who will form a team. The first team game Australis is off to a great start and definitely feels like it will be a great one! Join these games here:

A Commander on any race can play well in any other race, for sure ! figak - Tuesday, July 19, 2011 11:06 PM Makes sense. thin lizzy - Wednesday, July 20, 2011 12:33 AM I like! There are two open slots in the Alcatraz System Officer's Game as well. It has just started (turn 8) - Rebels and Feds need replacements. http://vgaplanets.nu/games/10721 No look'n'drops please. Jadefire - Wednesday, July 20, 2011 2:11 PM Bad idea, once the site has seasoned commanders and let's face it lieutenant is not hard to make then you will not have problems with officer games filling up. Instead you should break games to the ranks, such as Ensign and below for new players, lieutenant-commander and below for experienced players and commander and above for advanced players. Otherwise you run the risk of sneak and peeks and players not giving an appropriate challenge for the game they are eligible for. rbos - Thursday, July 21, 2011 2:06 PM How about this, for any race you haven't specialized in, you can join for one rank BELOW your highest rank. "Overall rank" and "race rank", basically. figak - Thursday, July 21, 2011 4:58 PM I was thinking of the same, so as borg captain I should be capable (albeit with some handicap) to join any commander game. Joesnoffy - Sunday, July 24, 2011 3:29 PM Excellent mjs68508 - Wednesday, July 27, 2011 10:29 PM Do we still get achievement points, experience points, glory, and the adoration of women with team games like in regular games? joshua - Wednesday, July 27, 2011 11:51 PM You sure do. Unless you are playing against a woman and she crushes you. Then you just get her pity. :) thin lizzy - Thursday, July 28, 2011 1:51 AM ^^ you get the pity anyway mjs68508 - Thursday, July 28, 2011 3:13 AM If Starcraft players can have groupies, why can't we? http://www.worldsbestinformation.org/2010/10/5-insane-true-facts-ab out-starcraft.html thin lizzy - Thursday, July 28, 2011 9:29 AM oh. maybe i was wrong..
