; 玩家主机
新游戏需要一个服务器名称。主机可以选择添加密码以将服务器限制为特定人员或标签/描述，这可用于让加入的玩家全面了解联机的内容是什么。

然后，主机玩家可以选择一个帝国并调整银河系设置以进行游戏（与单人游戏相同的过程）

The ''ServerID'' (shown when hovering above the server icon below the ''galaxy settings'' section) can then be given to other players to easily find this specific MP session. The same line also displays any gameplay affecting DLCs enabled by the host.

If the game is a continuation of a previous session, the host needs to choose the ''Host Saved Game'' function and - after repeat the first step (server name etc.) -  pick the desired save game (single player saves may be used as well).

; Adjoining players
Players looking to join a MP game can scan for servers (shows closest servers) to look for games about to start or ones already in-progress. If players can't find a specific session they can use the ''Direct Join'' function to input the ''ServerID'' given to them by the host player.

When joining a MP game, a player receives the latest save game from the host containing information about the state of the galaxy. They may then proceed to pick one of the empires within the game to play.

; 玩家创建的帝国
Adjoining players can't create their own empires when joining a MP game, but have to pick one of the existing empires within the game (this is due to the random nature of the generated galaxy). To circumvent this, players can create their custom empires, save them and send them to the host player. The host then can choose to include them as part of the galaxy generation.
