Parsec LAN-Test 0.99 (build 0197) is a program presenting you the entirely new universe. The core of Parsec will be a network of gameservers each responsible for a single galaxy comprised of several solar systems. All gameservers will be registered at the central Parsec masterserver from where you can select a specific gameserver for playing.
The basic unit of game play is a single solar system but you can jump from system to system as you like. There are no game sessions that have to be started explicitly. You can seamlessly join and unjoin a gameserver at any time. But beware! While you are peacefully exploring the universe everyone else will try to shoot you down to advance their position in the roster of all-time Parsec legends. If you want to become a legend yourself, you will have to eliminate a lot of other spacecraft and still prevail to collect the honor.
Gameservers (that is, galaxies) have their own dedicated position in the Parsec universe and are connected to nearby galaxies via stargates. The server transition involved in this jump is handled transparently by the masterserver and the involved gameservers.
Thousand Parsec wxPython Client 0.2.0
Thousand Parsec is a framework for turn based space empire building games. more>>
Some examples of games which Thousand Parsec draws ideas from are, Stars!, VGA Planets, Master of Orion and Galactic Civilizations. These games are often called 4 Xs from the main phases found in the games, eXplore, eXpand, eXploit and eXterminate. If you havent heard of them, other games which are a bit similar include, Civilisation, Heros of Might and Magic and Starcraft.
Thousand Parsec includes everything you need for
* play any of the currently running games,
* set up your own game using already designed games, and
* building your own space empire building game.
Whats new in this version:
After a massive amount of work, Thousand Parsec is proud to announce that the next version (0.2.0) of its primary client is now available.
There have been massive changes to the clients back end code and quite a few UI improvements. Some off the highlights are:
* Request Pipelineing. Faster downloads on fast connections and on
connections with high ping times.
* Automatic Media Downloading. The client will now download the
required media of the web.
* Animated Planet Graphics. There are now cool animated planet
graphics and other graphics displayed in the information screen.
* Account Creation Support. You can now create an account on
servers straight from the client.
* Design Support. You can now create ships, torpedoes or any other
object that the server supports. Properties and requirements of
designs are calculated locally using a Scheme based language
called tpcl.
* Message Reference Support. Servers can now say that messages
refer to certain objects and the GOTO button will take you to
them.
* Better Caching. Better support for universe caching and only
downloading what has changed.
This release also includes binaries for windows and binaries for Mac OS
X ( http://www.thousandparsec.net/tp/downloads.php#tpclient-pywx ). The
binaries have the following requirements:
* Windows
* Windows 98 or greater
* 50mb disk space
* 1024x768 screen or greater
* Mac OS X
* Mac OS X 10.3.8 or higher, 10.4.1 or higher is preferred
* 200mb disk space

Warp Speed Calculator 1.0
Simply input two of three variables (speed, distance, and time), and the Warp Speed Calculator will calculate the third for you more>>
Have you ever wondered how long it would really take the Enterprise to travel from Earth to Vulcan at warp 5? Or how far the Defiant could possibly get at warp 9 in just five days? What about figuring out how fast Voyagers maximum speed (Warp 9.975) is in multiples of the speed of light?
The Warp Speed Calculator is created to answer these questions. Simply input two of three variables (speed, distance, and time), and the widget will calculate the third for you. It will even convert equivalent units, like years to days, light-years to parsecs, or warp factors to multiples of c. And you, too, can sound like a Treknology expert!

Gate 88 Mar19/05 is an exciting and tractable game which can help you to entertain yourself effectively.
Gate 88 is described by PC Gamer UK as to "Asteroids what the Taj Mahal is to Lego." In this fast-paced, frenetic blend of real-time strategy and 2D space shooter, players dogfight in an upgradable command ship while developing base defenses, issuing squadron attacks, and researching new technologies.
Gate 88 is inspired by classics like Herzog Zwei, Star Control, Subspace, Homeworld, and Parsec 47.
