Running a Game

The MSD is played in individual games. To participate, players register once and join an open game. This is possible even after the game has started, but late joiners do not receive any compensation for missed playtime. The number of participants is limited and defined at game creation. Once a player has joined a game, they cannot leave.

Game Start

When a game starts, each player is assigned to a home station on the map. New robots for the player’s fleet will always spawn at this location. Depending on the number of space stations, several players may share the same station.

Win Condition

A game ends either when an administrator intervenes, or when the predefined game time runs out. The player with the most points wins the game, though there are several categories to score a ranking.
