But then that was almost 5 years ago now, and most of us have slept since then. I just went back and re-read a couple of those threads... Little bit of a mind-trip :p Anyways, Starship Traders is long gone, but I started playing another (fairly similar) game a few weeks ago (work was slow right before the holidays, and I had some time to kill). This one is called Chosen Space. It's a browser-based (works fine in FF, but it prefers IE) space trading/combat game. It's version 2 (version 1 is still alive on the site and you can play it, but it's older, and v2 was built off it to fix problems and mistakes and such). I have an account in v1 also (started it a couple days ago), but I don't play it hardly, mainly I started that one just out of curiosity. V2 is still also under development, so it's not 100% implemented yet, and slight changes are still being made to the existing code. That said, there's no combat yet (the attack scripts are supposed to be deployed pretty soon, within a couple weeks probably). So right now you don't have to worry about being killed by a big ship randomly passing by. If anyone remembers SST, this one has tons more items to buy/trade/sell, 100's of ships (not all exist yet since there's still a limit on the size ships can be right now), from mining ships to freighters to pirate ships to warbirds to scouts. No confusing randomly scattered galaxies to try and map this time either :) Just 1,440,000 grids in a big square. You can also run for president on planets (haven't tried this yet though). It's not an all-consuming game either. You only get 1 "turn" per minute, max of 1500 saved up at a time. It costs 1 turn to go between grids, about 10 to go to adjacent sectors, and roughly 100 to jump between adjacent systems. All these depend on your ship though. You can easily spend all 1500 turns in less than a half hour, or spread them out over the day. Anyways, enough of me trying to sell the game :p If anyone's is interested, I've teamed up with a couple other guys in there and we have a small faction going called "Order of the Gorgon's Eye". By no means the biggest or best (yet), but laid back and easy-going. If anyone is interested in playing, [url=http://www.chosenspace.com/?ref=11213]Here's the site.[/url] If you do want to play, drop your captain name here and I'll get you in our faction. We have a couple upgraded ships (they cost and arm and a leg) that we could probably hook a couple people up with. Loading...
