If noobs are welcome, I'd be interested (joined as dpapp over there)

Sure thing. Now, if you're new to PBW, then you'll want to

- make sure you are running v1.71 + BM 1.14a
- install any custom race as used in the game (check this page on how to do that)
- have a read through the PBW FAQ page so that the mechanics of PBW games are a bit more clear (check PBW site)

The PBW mail service will provide you with the last player's password so that you can open the downloaded savegame file.

There's also this thread which might be of interest. I wish someone would sticky that one!

Last but not least: have fun

Thanks.

I do not understand your comment about installnig custom race - the game being already in the 3rd turn I assumed the race was loaded up by the quitting player. Do I need to install that custom race myself that the game was started with (where to get it), or I start with a new race?

The player you are replacing is using standards shipset items, but you will still need to install the sets some of the other players are using in order to avoid errors.

When you move your mouse over the Shipset, Race Pic or Flag Pic images you will see their name in the appearing text tag. Any image not present in the standard game will require you to download and install the custom shipset as explained in my previous post. You can obtain the files simply by clicking on the image. You'll at least need the Gorn, Romulan, Gallente and the Klingon sets. I don't know what archetype is using (the admin should have sorted that out - if the player is still around anyway), so you might need more than these. Anyway, the game will warn you about missing BMPs or other files as soon as you try to load it.
