Quad and Spook have already downloaded this. Here the Wiki info for anyone interested: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starsiege:_TribesHere's the page to download the game for free: www.fileplanet.com/140246/140000/fileinfo/Starsiege:-Tribes-Full-GameForget about any of the other patches. Just download the 1.30 last hope patch. It actually replaces the Tribes.exe in your Dynamix/Tribes folder. So what you do is download the 1.30 patch here: www.team5150.com/~andrew/project.lasthope/Go to the second to the last download link and get that one since we don't know what happyjump is. Go to your Tribes folder inside your Dynamix folder. Renames your Tribes.exe to something like Tribbles or something like I did. Unzip the 1.30 patch in your Tribes folder. Your PC will use that patch as the Tribes.exe. DO NOT DELETE YOUR ORIGINAL TRIBES.EXE.

Shazbot! ;D
But seriously, my favorite server is Topgun's Berserker's Haven (if you sort by players it's normally got a lot of people). On that server I like to go Engineer and repair my team's stuff, occasionally pulling out a rocket launcher or disk launcher when an enemy comes by.
I haven't gotten the hang of killing people just yet (I'm pretty good with the plasma rifle though), so that's why I like to repair instead.

So now we got fuzz, quad, and me playing Starsiege Tribes. For anyone interested, it's a high tech first person shooter with team fortress-like classes (sniper, scout, heavy weapons guy, engineer, etc), awesome multiperson vehicles (one ship carries up to 5 people, so you can have 1 person driving and 4 people firing, it rules), and customizable weapons. It's a lotta fun, and completely free!. There's some screenshots for those interested:

I don't like all the weird ass mod servers. They've really weirded up Tribes.

Also there are plenty of unused empty servers. We could pick one for a TU member hangout.

Yeah I did the training ones, the command one was pointless though since everyone pretty much does their own thing in the game.
The weapons one was probably the best for me because it familiarized me with the weaps.

www.planettribes.com/tribes/screenshots.shtmlThere's the site for the artwork I have in my avy and sig. It's too bad that you normally only see Blood Eagle and Diamond Sword tribes playing. I haven't seen a server that uses all 4 tribes or the other two.

D, tribes is much more complicated than quake; its enjoyable but every new player has to go through long tutorials and much experimentation, it's definitely not a care free, happy-go-lucky game. try it, see how you like it! come on with me and fuzznut sometime. sorry to say i dont read that harry potter gibberish. there is this impulse in me to do the opposite of what everyone else is doing

I have the 7th Harry Potter, but I haven't gotten around to reading the 6th one yet so right now it's just collecting dust. I have an idea what happens in the end, though, and I know which one of the other characters dies (best friend actually spoiled that for me)

www.planettribes.com/tribes/screenshots.shtmlThere's the site for the artwork I have in my avy and sig. It's too bad that you normally only see Blood Eagle and Diamond Sword tribes playing. I haven't seen a server that uses all 4 tribes or the other two. In the mythology the Blood Eagle and the Diamond sword aren't even the two biggest enemies of each other. I think its the StarWolf and the Blood Eagle. Where you see the other Tribes is in non-ctf games like Capture and Hold etc. There are demos taht come with Tribes. Watch them to get an idea what teamplay is like when people actually do it. You can have 3 or 4 different Tribes in the game going at each other. It can get crazy, if you can ever get away from CTF. Also cooperation is non-existant in Tribes now. Most guys go their own way now looking for the quickest cheapest kills. Usually going Myrmidon and baseraping and spawn killing. Also most lamers play the same 3-4 CTF maps over and over. Raindance, Rollercoaster, Broadside, Massive Sides,(two almost identical maps) and one other I can't remember the name of. But they are fun for the first year or so. Some incredibly fun NON-CTF maps/missions. Siege(Defend and Destroy) Towers (Capture and Hold) And Criss Cross (Capture and Hold). Good luck ever getting a chance to play them. They require teamwork and some cooperation and the lamers that run the servers now just aren't up for it. There's another one that kicks ass but I can't remember the name of it! Lucky Seven? I think it's Lucky Seven( Capture and Hold)
