When you feel ready, its time to find the first classical game to join.

goto "JOIN GAME", and select "SHOW JOINING" in order to find a game that has not started yet.

Its almost always possible to find a new beginner game.

If not, try again next day.

You cant, and you shouldnt join games with experienced players.

And now it is time to select a race

If you are completely new to the game, i suggest you select a race that is not to hard to learn. I rate the races like this, with the easiest race to learn first:

1. Colonials (free fuel, fighterbuilding, and moneymaking ships, if you cant find any good natives)

2. Robots (fighterbuilding, and 4*minelaying for good defense)

3. Rebels (fighterbuilding. Falcons are good, but requires extra tactical skills)

4. Federation(Good versatile race with plenty of money)

5. Crystal(Very good defense, but you have to learn how to manage your webs)

6. Lizards(richest race in the game, but have to be played very intensely, and requires good logistical skills.)

7. Birds(You can hide for a long time, but to attack someone, you need to learn guerilla tactics. And you will lack firepower)

8. Empire(Weak early in the game, and requires good logistical skills to build up)

9 Fascist(versatile race, but you have to master the economical advantages, or you will fall behind in firepower)

10. Privateers(Simply requires lots of skill, and is a lottery race. Find yourself between 2 loki races, and youre dead. Not a good experience for a new player.

11. Borg (very weak early in the game, requires lots of skill to master)

Select a race, and do your first turn. But be aware, that classical games need to fill up, before they actually start.
