Maybe some of you have played it before? and if so now is the time to get back into it as there is a lot of new features if you havent played in a few years.
its a MMORTS, and i think it was the very first of the genre, and the only one to do it right. I have tried a lot of these type games and they are all utter crap compared to this gem.
Sure the graphics are not top notch but i think its actually very beautiful to have one of your factory systems pumping out a few hundred cruisers or even builders and seeing them all fly out of your factories, very satisfying.
You can colonize planets and and build in space as well, there universe is absolutely vast and so many solar systems to colonize.
You build cities to get population to crew your ships, you can make trade bases, you can build a vast empire, you can forge guilds, you can destroy your enemies... i mean what else is there to be said.
Its a bit of a learning curve just like with anything worthwhile. There is a free trial that enables you to start research and build some mines and units up to a certain point and you can see if you would like it.
Give it a go and give it a chance, make sure to read on the website about how to get started and how to mine and link up your bases. If you get hooked on this game im telling you, you will find no other like it.
Let me know if you start so i can help you out if you want help.
