    Sure I play SoaSE online but as mtness already stated games can take a rather long time. What time zone are you in? I'm MST (GMT -6:00h). Most of my gaming time is taken up by MMOs and a couple of single player games, tho'.

    Hey, thanks for replies guys :) yes games can take VERY LONG TIME - even few DAYS for a single skirmish if there are 100 + planets
    However AFAIK there is possibility to SAVE multiplayer online game status and then resume the game with same players. Hence I asked if anyone plays because I have long time play with online friends in mind :) ( maybe you guys will be up for it? :p ) I'm from Poland - I'm GMT +1h

    PS. This game is soooo under-rated and didn't recieve attention it deserved.

    I have tried this game out and I was quite disappointed. My friend plays this game and he absolutely loves it! I played it for like one hour or so and it didn't really live up to my expectations. Maybe I should play this some more before I judge it to quick but right now it's just a decent game for me.

    Once things turn big time - you get many planets and huge fleet, game becomes addicting :)

    I play; love the game. And now that I have a processor faster than my AMD64 3500+ it actually runs.

    I'm down sometime...as long as it's very casual and not super-intense. I'm working through Crysis...which, btw, is a great game and much more than just a benchmarking tool.

    I also got the game for free a few days ago and i'm really enjoying playing matches vs. the computer, so far i've only done small and medium maps but i'll probably try a huge one tomorrow. I think having a proper campaign would have been nice and helped to get into the game but i'm definately enjoying it. Very different from the normal RTSes I play, (fast paced games, Dawn of War 2 is what i was most recently playing)

    I'd be up for playing some epically long matches as i have a lot of free time atm, but i'm still quite noob at this game :p
