Hello!

I am planning on doing a party and want to have an Artemis set-up. I am located in Orange County, CA. Does anyone know if there is a company that rents an Artemis setup here?

Thanks

I’m looking for a few more people to help playtest my mobile Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator rig this Saturday, October 10, from 7–10 PM at Game Kastle in College Park.

I just swapped in some new equipment—including a new server laptop—and I want to put the whole setup through its paces before using it for future events and training sessions.

If you’ve never played Artemis before, that’s totally fine! The idea is essentially Star Trek bridge crew meets cooperative multiplayer game: everyone has a station (Captain, Helm, Weapons, Engineering, Science, Comms, Fighter, etc.) and you have to work together to keep the ship alive.

What I need: A handful of people willing to come out, play a few scenarios, break things if possible, and give me feedback on how the rig performs.

📍 Game Kastle College Park
4748 Cherry Hill Rd
College Park, MD 20740

🗓️ Saturday, October 10
⏰ 7:00–10:00 PM

Game Kastle has snacks and drinks for sale, and if you want something more substantial before, during, or after the session, there are plenty of good, relatively inexpensive restaurants nearby.

More information about the setup/training concept is here:

If you’re interested, comment here or DM me. No prior Artemis experience necessary—just show up ready to fight aliens, defend starbases, dine on snacks, and figure out what to do when you've tangled with the wrong alien fleet. 😄

Hi there! I've enjoyed the Original Artemis 1 at various Cons, & even a couple of LAN parties, but as we're having trouble finding support for it (as well as to support the creator in updated software), my Crew have all decided to purchase Artemis Cosmos on Steam. At $7, it wasn't a hard decision: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2467840/Artemis_Cosmos/

That said, while we had fun playing it at Cons, when we did our own LAN parties we were mostly derping around with missions that seemed like unfinished mods in that we could never get the stories to advance. From our experience at Cons, we know that there are whole campaigns, & even tutorial missions that used to exist.

So my question is, for a Crew looking to get into Artemis Cosmos, what scripted pre-made missions would you all suggest? We're doing another LAN party this weekend, & so I'd love any advice on any mods, campaigns, etc as this is the first time we'll be doing Cosmos. Thanks in advance!

I have a friend who runs a private gaming con out of his house for 40ish people every year. Game submissions are closing in a few days and I'm strongly considering putting in to run Artemis, but am totally new to this. Hoping to learn from this community's experience and avoid reinventing the wheel.

Which version? Is Artemis Cosmos 1.2.2 up to snuff today, or for what might be a one-time run, am I better off sticking to Artemis SBS 2.8?

How many participants? Most references I see are to 6 players, but I also see "up to 11" on occasion. How many should I advertise can play? And should I plan to sit back on Tech Support, or claim a participant slot?

Laptop only? Is that right? I can scrounge up 4-5 laptops to offer, but probably not get to 6-11 without asking participants to bring one along. That's fine, but might be prohibitive for some, so just want to confirm there's no reasonable way to play from phone or tablet.

Does projecting make sense? My intent is to connect the hosting device to a projector to provide a central visual for participants as well as anyone who might spectate. Is that the right move? If so, can it be the captain's laptop, or would they need to play on their device in a way that makes it unfit for the general display?

Buy direct or on Steam? What will get me up and running the fastest, and let me foot the bill for the group? My instinct is it's more straightforward for me to buy the $40 version than to expect everyone bringing a laptop to have Steam installed, plus easier for me to cover costs if I just buy that license vs. work it through Steam, but would love some validation or redirection.

Session length? I'm imagining 2.5-3 hours for setup, tutorial, and a proper mission. Does that seem right for a con slot?

Much appreciated!

Hey I’m new to Artemis and I wanted to get my friends into it. Most don’t having any kind of Ethernet capable laptop nor computers at all (crazy). So I was wondering if the mobile app was any good or stable. Is the experience less fun because of clunky controls?
Any info is appreciated I’d really like to run the game soon!

My group cannot figure out how to launch a fighter. We can see from the wiki page http://artemiswiki.pbworks.com/w/page/105155331/Fighter%20Client that there is a screen you can launch fighters from, but we can't figure out how to get to that screen. Any help is appreciated!

Hey, we'll be doing another in-person Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator stress test in the back room of Game Kastle College Park (4748 Cherry Hill Rd, College Park, MD 20740) this Sunday, July 12th, from 5 pm to 10 pm, and there shall be space shooties!!!

We’ve got the key mappings down on the new X52 Saitek flight stick for the Helm/Pilot position, we’ll be incorporating voice chat and USB headsets for communications for the first time, and troubleshooting this (the downside: there’s a bit of trial and error that nerds to occur. We’ll also be incorporating the Border War game mode in which you have to both defend your star bases as well as take down the computer’s star bases, and you’ll have to fight off both invading fleets as well as take down the fleets defending each star base. 

 The upside: This could function extremely well, get everyone on the same page, and everyone would get a super cool-looking/space commander-esque USB headset to work with). There are drinks and snacks available for purchase at the front desk, good take-out places only a stone’s throw away, and we would definitely love test players to provide feedback!

Here's the breakdown/tutorial as to what Artemis is, it's free to anyone who wants to play, there's good food and drinks and snacks nearby, and there shall be gaming!!!

I made an "Unofficial Patch" mod for Artemis Cosmos. It provides only bugfixes, with no frills.

I developed most of these patches over the last year or so as part of an Eastern Front mod (which is still in the late stages of beta testing). I recently decided to separate the bugfixes and release them in this independent mod, in case others wanted these fixes now, or without the Eastern Front features.

Download link: https://github.com/quaris628/ArtemisCosmosUnofficialPatch/releases/latest (select the "Source Code" zip near the bottom of the page)

To install, basically, overwrite the vanilla game's files with the mod's files. The README file has more detailed instructions in case you need them.

The entire list of bugs patched is also in the README. (It's a pretty long list; around 50 to 60 bugs patched, depending on how you count them.)

Hi all. Played a decent amount of SBS in 2021 with my gaming group, and were looking at picking up some cosmos.

But it's hard to clearly identify what the differences are between the original and the rerelease in terms of actual gameplay, so I'm curious what has changed

We're incorporating a brand new 55-inch LCD as the main game screen, as well as two new PC laptops to allow for simultaneous escort fighters to be deployed, and a brand new Saitex X52 flight stick with thruster controls for the Helm/Pilot role, and would definitely love test players to provide feedback!

I feel like I'm missing something. The controls for the fighter do not mention anything about moving or how to initiate movement. Boost only works when you are already moving. As a result of my confusion, I launched a fighter but it can't move! Help.

I will be going to a gaming convention in a few weeks and I know they will be running a War Server event. However, they haven't posted which version of Artemis they will be using and my gaming team hasn't upgraded to Cosmos. Does War Server exist for Cosmos or is that something that only exists on the old program?

Has anyone been able to get Artemis Cosmos working on Linux?

I'm using Version 1.2.2

I'm currently running Linux Mint and have been trying to get it to run but the best I've been able to do it get it to launch to a nebula with shader errors.

I've tried using WINE and PlayOnLinux, both came out the same just shader errors on launch and a screen with a nebula an no buttons opens up.

I'm fairly new to linux, and would appreciate any help I can get.

Hello all! My brother and I just picked up Artemis Cosmos. The issue is we live in different states. I created port forwarding, allowed it through my Firewall, and then shared the Artemis Cosmos Server IP with my brother. However, when he tries to connect, nothing happens. What am I missing?

Ran into this error while playing with 4 clients and one server. Never seen it before. Any ideas what is going on?

Hi -- is anyone in the Cincinnati area playing and have a spot open for a newbie? I'd love to try it.

Plan on hosting a lan party for Artimis. If I get the six pack how does that work for the clients? Can they just install w/out purchasing then connect to my server?
