<div class="IPBDescription">New shiny , brutal version of the game</div> Astro Wars is now hosted on 2 servers , the new one being a pentium 3GHz with 2 GB RAM , which means the bugs and slowdowns that plagued the previous beta aren't likely to come back.

The gameplay has been significantly altered in favor of the pure "astrowarriors" (as opposed to the pointwhoring "astrobuilders") , see the <a href='http://www.astrowars.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9176' target='_blank'>beta 7 changelog</a> for detailed info.

Please post your preferred time for signing up here , so that we may create a stronger , united TSA alliance (I've been hired by an other alliance and will play undercover , so I won't be part of TSA but I'll ensure it remains in good terms with the said alliance)

Of course , the Red vs Blue match will be part of beta 7 , and should be much more exciting due to the boosted Speed race attribute...

I probably won't be able to keep the coordinate list / starmap up to date this round , so any help is welcome.

Beta 7 officially begins in 5 days (afaik)

    Never got into Astro Wars, or tried it at all. Is a fun little browser game, or a horrible time suck that makes you hate people in other time zones for their vicous sneak attacks? Do I need to spend 3 hours a day or can I just manage it for 15 minutes whenever I open my browser?

    I think no one cares anymore. I played it for 3 betas and now when I think of it I just get annoyed. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo--> Maybe thats just me.

    Yeah gets boring if you play to much. After 2 times of playing (Beta 5 and 6) it seems the same. You start with one planet 5 days later you now have 3 planets and 3 days later someone brings like 3 other guys and are attacking you.

    1 beta was enough for me <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo--> gotta check the dang website too much if you want to compete, too life-consuming.

    Yeah it's like opps I forgot to check astrowars site (Which happened to me a few times or like 20 times). Then even forgetting to check for 1 day can be bad.
    Guess astrowars for ns is dead?

    Things are looking good for me. Player 1 has resigned, have made an alliance with player 3 (I'm player 2) and the American player 4 will be our focus for attack...

    I'm also very glad I only took -1 defense

    I and a guy called frumzel is my system ally. I killed the other guy and the other player left has one planet with a SB10. Culture 5 soon (damn culture malus <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo--> )

    My news is that I am hoping to be accepted in ATF alliance as a permanent member. I've been looking for an alliance for a little whiles now and a player called Herbie from beta 5 is close to my system. He mailed me to say hi and proposed I join up.

    The only downside is that they are mainly geared toward French speakers but hey ho I'm gonna try an learn the lingo.

    combat
