turn based space game help

Post by illa »

ok so i used to love to play this game where you had a space ship and you could colonize planets or nuke them and take them over and they had an economy. you then could buy stuff for your ship like warp drive and more nukes it was the best game ever but i cant remeber what it was called. I thought solar wars but that had fleets and ships not one and this one didnt orbit either. close but different. can any one help i am dieing to find this game.

"Spaceward Ho!" Perhaps?
I think you hade several space ships though, but you sure did colonize planets and terraformed them if possible. You researched different technologies to make ship construction more effective, with less material etc..

Probably not it ey?

*Expecting comments on such a far out guess* :D

nope that wasnt it, thanks for the shot. I dont get it, it was a really fun game and it seems like it shoulda been popular. The other name I thought it was was space wars but i couldnt find anything.

I think I know what game you're talking about. I've been looking for a game that sounds abit like that aswell. But its a 2-D game. Not 3-D.

In the game ur talking about do you go around like the whole place and look for planets with a white line around them and harvest them and then put people on ones with yellow lines around them or something.

The one I played was one where you go around the galaxy and find different planets and make them yours before the CPU player does and try to destroy them.

And at the beggining you choose what species you are and what ship you use and I think one species was Klyptons or something. If thats the one you're looking for then yeah I've been looking for it aswell.

EDIT: Oh the one I was thinking of was Warpath.

franpa for the last time, you're not a mod, quit pretending that you are, we're perfectly capable of looking after the forums, we don't need to go around policing them for us.
