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

In the interests of largely theoretical stars race design considerations, but perhaps of some real interest too, I submit for consideration the following race design and testbed results. The question the design sought to answer was - how playable are low-growth HPs, particularly those leaning in the direction of spike's emphasis on late-game minerals? How low can the PGR be pushed and still get you viable speed to midgame?

10 Feb 2010: Stars!wiki has been rebuilt on its own virtual server running the latest Ubuntu 9.10 and Mediawiki 1.15.1
4 Jan 2010: Polish! Kerostat has kindly volunteered to translate to a polish version, so look out for more language links at the bottom of the sidebar. Again, this is a daunting prospect and we wish him all the best and if you're fluent in polish, I'm sure he'd appreciate all the help he can get.
21 Jun 2009: Added the articles from Stars! Drawing Board to the Article Library which is offline but (archived).

Contents

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.

Editing

Helping hands are always welcome. If you wish to help, find a section that needs a bit of work or a page that needs writing (red links) and go for it. Here is a list of pages that have been linked to but not written yet. There is also a list of things to do. You will need to register before you can edit any pages. When you do, please use the same username that you use at Stars! Autohost Home World Forum. If you're not registered at HWF, I recommend it.
