How to create a game

How do I create a game?

  1. In the server lobby click Create Game. This will open a new window
  2. Type a game name.
    • If you use the word "newb" anywhere in the name ASGS will consider it to be an official newbie server and will ban anybody with a rank of 5 or higher.
  3. Select which server you want the game to be hosted on.
    • GPZ is in Europe, Planet is Texas, Stripe is Canada, and 3FL is Australia. Pick whichever is closest to you.
  4. Select which core you want to play.
    • The most commonly played core at the moment (February '09 that is) is CC_03.
  5. Click Create game to launch.
    • It will not appear until Step 3 and 4 are complete.


How do I make a single team?

You can create a One Person server in order to learn a tech tree, fly different ships, or just goof off.

  1. First you need to become the Game Controller - simply join a team if you're alone, or persuade the current Game Controller to pass control to you if you're not.
  2. Then simply uncheck the box next to the other team.

Four for Two

Another use for empty teams: If you're playing with someone else you might want to setup a Yellow vs Purple or a Blue vs Green match. This gives you "new" maps to play on, and also doubles the total amount of money on the map - you may want to reduce the total money setting to counter this.

Turn total teams to 4 and turn off the two you don't want played. Below you can see 3 maps and how they change when two more teams are added (Yellow and purple edited out for clarity):
