Outpost 2 Reunion
Our 5th reunion on IRC went very well indeed and now if you don't have it by now (if you're a active player, we're sure you have) the new Outpost 2 version is on our site.
World Domination
It has started now, get us your game infomation so we can add you to the gamers list, then sign up for World Domination! Read the rules and find out more on the site.
Ladder
We have setup a temporay 1v1 ladder untill we have a better one, it can be found at
www.ladder.outpostuniverse.netWiki
We have added a wiki to the site, it's a series of pages which any user can edit and improve on. Any user can add a page to it then others can edit it. We hope this will become the main resourse for Outpost players and coders alike. To get an account please forum or IRC PM Leviathan or op2hacker with desired password. Once you have an account you can start adding and editing pages. More people who can help the better!
Check it out here -

The projects are going well! op2hacker, Hooman, Leviathan and others all keeping busy at OPU. One of the new ones which is being worked on is the ability to create new tile sets for Outpost 2, not to far in the distance we will be battleing it out on grass worlds, and even snow or desert. The OP2Mapper is making significant progress, it's likely that a second alpha will be released soon including new features. Also, work is resuming on OP: Renegades, an OP2 campaign by Eddy-B.
Where have you gone?
Many members who used to come on IRC for games often, or not so often have not been seen for a while, and it makes us at the OPU very sad. We don't want to see members and players leave. Please keep coming on IRC and playing, some days may be slower than others but it's not a reason to give up. Please keep playing and enjoying the great game that is Outpost 2!
Getting Site errors? (DNS)
To fix this problem you can edit your hosts file in windows. Go here for the guide on how to do it (its a simple copy and paste!):

Folding @ Home is a distributed project for cancer research, much like SETI @ Home. We at the OPU have formed a team and want to get more people involved in this project! Visit our team page at:

For more information on the OPU's effort for this project, see the thread:
http://forum.outpostuniverse.net/index.php?showtopic=953To join our team you need to install a Folding @ Home client on your computer and then join the team.
