Space : A Space Combat Games for 2D Strategists



I sought a game 4 years ago that would satisfy my interest in Science Fiction, in Space, has overtones of 'star fleet battles' and had an active and fun community. Well, that is what I remember looking for ... I also managed to find a differnt form of strategy that was satisfying called economic management, politics and fleet management. All of which have proven to be much harder to become expert in than first woudl appear. The game is 2D based in standard web browsers with a javascript map (unfortunately limited to IE & IE engine browsers) having pages relating to economic, reserach and ship building matters. Being in a 'galaxy' of 3000 systems with 300 playes and you have to ally with the 3 best players/species you find at first is the best contact you make in each galaxy - sometimes you meet lousy folks but great players, sometimes you meet great folks but lousy players, in any case, you can learn and have fun. At least some people are spending time roleplaying through the galaxy a bit. It's a pretty good game if you don't mind a bit of time on the computer - ideal for winter recess as the games can some times run for over 3 months, the standard runs for about 2 - which is a comittment of about 4 - 7 hrs a day (which translates to actually 4 to 7 sessions on the computer which may last between 5 min and 30 min depending on what is happening) - not a bad game. I enjoy it.
