Welcome Maligan! Rings a bell but didn't know you personally I don't believe. I went under various monikers in AOL era, generally by Weller (WellerTerk, YxWeller) overall.
I bopped around Maelstorm for a min (wasn't that the one the Tanners and Mattias did?) and knew some TNO guys.
But Welcome to the reincarnation!
Pretty much only one Sim Uni goes at a time with so few committed participants (about 5-6 right now, excluding yourself) Currently, GCW is the Uni Name, the current version is GCWII, but GCWIII new uni within story arc of I and II will be rolling out shortly. Pretty much same combat styles that you should be used to from MSG. There's only a handful of us, so the major difference here from the old AOL SWSF is that typically a Player controls an entire Faction and fields a complete fleet rather than one ship per player and many players per faction. Though more than one player per faction is possible if desired.
