Hello.
Unfortunately, First Strike has problem with server population. Lots of people play and most people that join LOVe the mod, but very few people are willing to populate a server and get it going, making more people assume that the game is dead and they just leave.
Join a server, wait for about 10 minutes and I'm quite sure someone will come along eventually for a game. Make sure you join a "Good" server though, as there are a few out there with iffy settings. Servers I recomend are:
RougeTribe.com
RSF 16p Server
BlackIntel.org
DSGaming.net
We also have some organised Community Games, which begin at 2100GMT on Saturday, and 1700 GMT on a Sunday (I think
). earlier you join, the more people end up playing later on, so it's best to jump on early on these nights
