Are there any other ways to play multiplayer besides PBE
It would appear this weapon is in-effective.

You can hotseat the game, but your co-players will probably get frustrated
Some people think good graphics make a good game. Good people think good graphics only make a good game better.

Yeah hotseats usually arent too practical unless you have load of time on your hands and dont mind spending few hours at once
Also other players shouldnt watch the other's playing so its sort of stand-sit-play-stand-sit weirdness
No other way unfortunately,no network no modem no tcp/ip

I dont know much about programming, so this is going to sound amatuerish (is that even a word?),but would it be possible for some one talented to put that option in? I am tired of hotseat games, and i dont really know anyone to PBEM with.
Also, I would like to say that Hyperion is awesome!!!!!. I only recently got back into EFS and was disappointed to find that NOVA hadn't progressed in many years ( Does anyone know why?) and the earlier Hyperion version that i had was good, but with the addition of house flagships (pure genius), the new unit additions and the Alien Phage Device (the scourge of hell!!!) I actually have begun to enjoy 1 player games. Matt, sir, i hope you release another version.
I know that right now subversion is all the rage ( and well it should be, Tiberious my hat is off to you as well). I love what you have done with the economic advisors. I can't wait for your "its war" map.
I know you and matt have been collaborating, but have you discussed a "Hyperionized" Subversion? I think Subversion + flagships would be good mix.

No it is not possible to add more multiplayer modes without the source code (technically possible but far too much work, a lot of work even with the source).
And for PBEM games you just need to follow the Opponents wanted forum.

NBR: See my other reply in the Mastiff-threat, the creators of the NOVA patch moved on from EFS (except me abit) and so it is still final.
Ryan even got lost in one of the best PBEM games i ever played, Trials and Tribulations.

The best we could probably do for 'internet' multiplayer connectivity would be to create a separate application that players connect to each other through, then run EFS and when player 1 finishes their turn it automatically sends it off to player 2 and so on.
Basically it eliminates the e-mailing aspect of things, however unless you were playing with a bunch of friends I doubt you'd get everyone on together often enough to make full use of it.
Of course you can do almost the same thing right now without the extra app - just get everyone into a chat channel.
Anything other than that is not feasible, however you are welcome to try and kick-start the EFS clone project within which anything is possible

Re: Are there any other ways to play multiplayer besides PBE
Good idea Deathifier! But i think your right that it would be hard to get everybody together for a long enough time. By the Bio's of regular posters, it would seem that EFS fans are scattered all over the world, from Australia to Iraq! I guess any programming genius would be better put to use on the clone.
