I've been playing through the training game over the past few days.
There's really a lot of depth here.
The economic model is particularly intriguing.
The setup encourages cooperation over combat, which should make the universe a friendly place for new players.
Anyone with an itch for a slow-burn multiplayer 4x should give it a look.

Guess no one made a post on the new game that started a few months ago.

We are now in end game and it's been pretty wild. Several realms are in all out battle for end game winning with huge ships being deployed and destroyed. Been a real fun one thus far.

I fixed your link since your new account doesn't have enough posts to avoid the anti-spam measures. Did you forget your old password or something?

Seems probable, he is making the rounds trying to promote the new game (its been like a year) so it may be a while before he notices this

Thanks,
My password no longer worked.  I try to reset it but the reset email never arrives.
Had no luck contacting admin, so created new account.

That's really weird - I assume you checked spam folder and so on?

Anyway, not the end of the world in any case. Good luck with your game!

My obsession of last year is back. It scratches my itch for space 4x better than anything else I've played. Highly detailed ship design and economic development. Multiplayer, so you're testing yourself against real intelligences. A small pond of suckers No feeling that I've dropped into a giant ten year old meta that I'll never catch up to.

Not quite the detail of Aurora, but it functions better as a multiplayer game. Much love for it.
