Starport: Galactic Empires Free Full Game

"Description: As captain of your own ship the path to victory is as open as the space around you. Trade, fight, and found planet bases to generate enough power and wealth to control the galaxy. Arm and outfit your ship with cargo holds, weapons, and shields of various types and strengths and remember, the greater the risk, t
he greater the reward."

I fired it up for a couple minutes, and it seemed kinda neat. A simple, straight-forward game similar to Flatspace. Only online.

I woulda played some more of it, but I want to try out some online GTL.

Anyone else try this?

Hey, looks intriguing! If I can get it to run on Linux I will definitely try it.

Yes, it does look interesting. Too interesting, earthlings! I will have to destroy your puny planet when I have the time. (Translation: I'd play it if I only had more time. Though I'm not adverse to reading other people's adventures and opinions on the game.)

For now, I just bookmarked it for future reference.

I had fun with this game for a while, but unfortunately it didn't hold my interest for a really long time.

Sorry, I don't know if I delved into all the game has to offer (I think you can buy stuff on planets, for example), but I found it got repetitive after a while. I love the idea, though. I should try it again to see if they've improved it.

Started playing this last night. It's a nice free multiplayer space game. Reminds me a lot of the old Space RPG's (Forget name at the moment)
