I've read through the FC rules, and played a small piece of one game online (there was only enough time for the other guy to show me the basic controls and the flow of play in the client...we got through two or three impulses all together).

Anyhow, I'd love to find some people to play a few full games against and get a feel for the online game. Is it generally easy to find opponents? It seems like most of the time, the players logged in are SFB folk?
I'm planning on getting an account here in the very near future, and it sounds like we have close to the same level of experience with FC and the client. I'd be interested in playing, in other words; PM me if you're interested in setting something up. (The thing that may hold me up is thinking up a good callsign. I'm SO bad with usernames and the like that I now mostly just use some variation on my name. :P )

I'd be up for it if we can swing the time difference. I am east cost.

Any reason not to start a separate thread with callsigns, preferred form of contact, general days/times available, and the like? This thread's kind of slid around some.

I end up playing SFB most of the time, because of the same reason. I love FC, and want to play online-- seems to be a good way to get a scenario underway and not have to keep a table up (if needed).

If you give me a few days notice, I can wrestle the computer from the misses and play some games. Let me know when.

If anyone needs a player, I'm available most of the time. We need more players online. And with Briefing #1 out, we aren't lacking in scenario choices anymore. :)
I'm wise enough to know that I don't know half as much as I think I know, you know?

I should be free to play OL next week!!!!

I would be trying to play now, but I have a problem with my truck at the moment. It's going to eat my free time up for the week.

Any particular time you are interested in playing :?:

count me in
I have the rom. border and have played SFB for years. I just cant seem to find anyone that wants to do FC. I want some quick games :)
Ive downloaded the entire library and want to try these ships out. Im new to the online engine but Ive been doing alot of off line tinkering so I probably wont need much more than casual coaching when it comes to the interface.
Any time after 2000 hrs ESt is good for me.
