Anybody play this game? I don't play it but I just stumbled upon it and was curious of what people thought about it. Looks like it might be kind of similar to stars, just different?

I skimmed threw there home page.. It had like a 10 year old lay out on it so it was confusing and i didn't see any screen shots of the game. Looks like a similar concept of stars.

I've played VGA Planets in the past, but I prefer TradeWars 2002 to it. In some ways, I prefer TW2002 to stars even.

Though TW2002 is by and large just a scripting game these days <_<

If you guys want to get some info one either game, you can start here: http://www.outpost-4.com/ The site (IMO) is kinda dead, but I do believe he just banged every game on the TWGS server

I used to play planets 3.0 back in the day. I tried to play the new demo for latest game but the learning curve was very steep.

I liked this game because 1. you can have carriers - fighters dynamicaly changed combat 2. everyones ships were race specific 3. you have indigenious species that help or hinder your civ on each planet.

it was a cool game for its day. I used to love taking the borg and acclerating pop growth through assimalation. the cube battlecarriers didn't hurt either.
