Remember that ships can't be picked up once they spawn their shields nor can squadrons once they first 'move' using their movement buttons. Once they're placed, right-click each one and 'lock' it to the mat. Obstacles need to be dragged out of the blue bag of obstacles to make a brown bag, then searched for the ones you need for your game. If you zoom in on the mat, you can see faint lines at distance 5 from the sides and 3 from the player edges, and a few others. Green is good, Red is bad and can cause the game to hang whilst it catches up. There is a number in that top corner too - this is the ping time. You can also make them become the Host (with a small gold crown symbol near the names). Also lets them delete items and interact fully with the game board. This allows them to use the top menu and load their own saved fleet from 'Objects'. Once the 2nd player joins, click their name in the top right corner of the screen and ' promote' them. They will still need to know the password, but this bypasses the unstable listing of every game being played anywhere in the world on TTS. This allows you to 'invite' any friend you have on Steam if they are already online. Type in the name of the game you want to join in the top search box.Īn alternative method of getting your opponent to join your game is to press the '+' button underneath your name at the top right hand corner of the screen. When you join an existing game, you get a big, unstable list of all the games around the world appearing which keep refreshing. You will need a name for it and a password (definitely set a password, there are some idiots around who enjoy barging into a game and knocking the table over). Then open TTS and Create a multi-player game. Use the Discord server to find one and chat with them during the game - this is pretty essential. To play an actual game, you need to create a multiplayer game at the TTS loading screen - and have an opponent. If you 'unlock' it (right click menu) to move it manually, it leaves the shields behind! Only do this after you deploy the ship - once you do this, the ship 'locks' itself in place and can only be moved using the manoeuvre tool. Then click 'parse' for the module to identify the typed words, and finally press 'spawn fleet'.Ī spawned ship has a button on to spawn its shield dials. You can click on the various upgrade types, to get each card to appear on the mat, but by far the easiest method is to build your fleet in any fleet-builder, and copy it into the 'spawn' box. It is now much easier - there is a menu on the right hand side of your screen, where the topmost icon is the fleet spawner. This will prevent the command dials working as intended, although you can still use them as loose objects on your ship card. All your fleet will spawn together.īe careful to not save the list with the ships already spawned, or they will not be associated to your color when you spawn the saved object. You can also spawn all the ships in one: select all the cards, right click and write "spawn" in the description space. Just press delete whilst hovering over each one you want to get rid of. Respawning the ship also respawns the tokens, so you might end up with 2 sets of them. If you save a fleet with the ship and its defense tokens already spawned, the ships don't reappear when loaded. Spawned ship cards lack their 'spawn ship' button on them, but you can still spawn their ship by right-clicking each one and writing the word 'spawn' in the very bottom box, where it says 'description', beneath the name of the card. Your saved fleet cards have a drop-down button near the top right corner, where you can pick 'spawn'. There you find the 'Load Saved Objects' button! To load saved objects, go to the top menu buttons across the top of the screen and click 'Objects'. This will save them so you can reload them later. Once you have the cards, select all of them, then right click them and choose 'Save object'. Right click and search them for the cards you want to use for your fleet. Go back to the brown bag and drag each category of cards out of it. Don't click the buttons on the card itself yet, but if you do you get the ship model and the defense tokens appearing. Drag out the card you want to use to the table/mat area. Drag one category, such as 'Rebel Ships' out of the search window and onto the mat. If you right-click the brown bag, and choose 'search' you find some categories of cards. A brown bag will appear where you drop it. Find the one labelled 'All Cards' and drag it somewhere convenient. You find these in small blue bags on the left side of the mat. So, to make a fleet, you need the ship cards and upgrade cards.
