Ok, I'll try again.
Hi folks, my name is Mark. I am a local Star Wars fan that some of you may remember meeting a few months back at one of the monthly get-to-gethers.
Anywho.. I am a Java programmer by trade and by hobby. So much so, that a few years ago I built a strategic galactic conquest game called Empire vs Republic. It went on for a couple of years and had nearly 100 participants from around the globe battling for control of the galaxy. It was a fun game, but had limitations.
Five years later, I have finally finished the core programming on the next generation of that game. I call it Galactic Simulation, or GalSim for short. Basically, you can read up about it at http://markb50k.dyndns.org:12345/gal_sim , where I give a little history and some of the features provided. I also give pics and stats for all the ships you can play in the game.
In short, if you liked Rebellion but wanted more control, or like Empire At War but would love to have dozens of players, this game could be up your alley. Build ships, launch attacks, mine resources to fuel your war machine, whatever you want. And all the while, you could command a fleet of star destroyers, like we all have wanted to do.
This game is designed to be content-intensive giving you eventually alot of options on how to make your fortune, plus the ability to see your units down to the individual fighter. Anyway, I hope I have interested you enough. Check out my site (I am NOT a web designer, so it is REALLY REALLY basic) and write me if you want to sign up. Once I get a few people signed up I will start the game turn engine and the war will be on.
Thanks in advance for any interest.

Just email me at markb50k at gmail dot com to join
I am actually quite surprised that the folks I met at the Stag's Head arent more interested in this. Honestly, I am giving people more cool stuff to play with than LucasArts LOL.

Hey Mark,
This looks cool. Unfortunately, I'm lucky if I get 15 minutes of free time a day, so I haven't had a chance to really check out your game. (I have about 5 episodes of Battlestar Galactica on my DVR that I can't find the time to watch).
Later,
Erik
