Welcome to '''Stars!wiki''', a resource for and by Stars! players.
 +
 
 +
(From [[Rec.games.comp.stars FAQ|RGCS]]): [[What Is Stars!|Stars!]] is an Advanced, Interstellar, Turn Based Strategy Game and a member of 4x genre (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate) of PC games. It was written by [[Jeff Johnson]] and [[Jeff McBride]] with help from Jeffrey Krauss (collectively known as the Jeffs). Written in response to finding a distinct lack of quality games in the genre, it was truly a game ahead of its time. It is by far one of the most strategically in-depth and balanced games in existence. It has kept people addicted for years, and still supports a loyal player community.

A [[wikipedia:Wiki|wiki]] is basically a web site that anyone can edit.  The policy for this wiki requires all editors to be registered. <!-- Because of bots creating nonsense accounts excessively, and until the email confirmation system is working and is shown to prevent this, you will need to contact [[User:Gible|Gible]] to register. There is no criteria for registration beyond being sentient (non-life for sentients are ok).-->Right now, anyone can register, but that may change if [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Vandalism|wiki vandalism]] becomes a problem. By making this site a wiki, we hope that we can encourage the Stars! player community to contribute and make this the ultimate resource for Stars! knowledge.

Welcome!

Welcome to Stars!wiki, a resource for and by Stars! players.

(From RGCS): Stars! is an Advanced, Interstellar, Turn Based Strategy Game and a member of 4x genre (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate) of PC games. It was written by Jeff Johnson and Jeff McBride with help from Jeffrey Krauss (collectively known as the Jeffs). Written in response to finding a distinct lack of quality games in the genre, it was truly a game ahead of its time. It is by far one of the most strategically in-depth and balanced games in existence. It has kept people addicted for years, and still supports a loyal player community.

A wiki is basically a web site that anyone can edit. The policy for this wiki requires all editors to be registered. Right now, anyone can register, but that may change if wiki vandalism becomes a problem. By making this site a wiki, we hope that we can encourage the Stars! player community to contribute and make this the ultimate resource for Stars! knowledge.


Featured Article

>This is a small request for guidance, I have already spoken to Art over this and am getting slightly better at race design, but how do I break 30/50/70/100k resources after 50-70 years?

Well, let's shoot for 30k in 50 years Acc BBS first, ok? :-)

I recommend you try to do that with a fairly simple race, not too jazzed up. The idea is to learn how to run the empire-building phase, and see what really matters in getting the performance. It is a lot easier to tweek a way of doing things you know with a more complicated race than to discover everything with one.

The wiki already contains a significant amount of material. The most important pages are included in the navigation bar on the left of the page.

If you are new to Stars!, you might want to check out the frequently asked questions. This has been built up over a number of years, and while it is far from perfect it is a great place to start.

After the FAQ, the next place to look for tips from the experts is the article library.

If you are wondering what all those cryptic abbreviations are about, you can find definitions for them at the abbreviations page. Other cryptic terms are defined in the glossary.

There is also a list of all pages if you want to see what is available, or you can jump to a random page.
