Create a game

How Do I create a game?

In the Master Lobby, click on this button.

1. In the Master Lobby, click Create Game as shown on the right.
2. This will bring up a window with a few boxes:
   The Create Game screen.
   1. The available servers.
      • GPZ is in Europe, Planet is Texas, Stripe is Canada, and 3FL is Australia. Pick whichever is closest to you.
   2. The available cores. Pick the one you want to play on.
      • The most commonly played core at the moment (February 09 that is) is CC_03.
   3. The Create Game button that will only appear after you picked a core and a server. Press that and the game will be created, and you will be sent to the Game Lobby.

You may also set a name for your game, but be careful: do not include "newbie" anywhere in the game name, or ASGS will consider this a Newbie Game and ban everybody with a rank of 5 or higher.

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.

Note You can only do this in a game you create, not the permanently running games (i.e. the Newbie Servers)

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.
   

Note You can only uncheck teams which have no players on them

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):
