I am a fan of turn-based, multi-player strategy space-themed war games. I am not a fan of real-time games mostly because I ike to mull my decisions, and it is difficult to get everyone together at the same time.

Currently I play the aging, but still great Space Empires IV. This game has some great features including being very mod-able, and great depth and variety of game play). There are some other old but great space-themed, turned-based strategy games (e.g. Master of Orion), but most of these either had no multi-player, or required everyone to be playing on the same computer.

Anyone on Soylent play a great turn-based strategy games which is space-themed, of which I might not be aware?

    That appears to be StarTrader/StarWar. You travel from quadrant to quadrant to find and destroy the bad guys.

    Trek73 you start out under attack with up to 9 ships attacking you. Best approach is find the attacking ship opposite of the largest hole in between the attaching ships and "attack"/pursue that ship at warp -9. So your strongest shield is in front of the oncoming on-slot. Then launch torpedoes has land mines for the the other ship to fly through. Watch those fuel reserves and regeneration rates! Since engines take power, torpedoes toss power "overboard".

    Starting Score:    1  point
