Think of starport as of a budget version of EVE Online. Not so huge universes, simpler graphics, less players... But it is THE BEST FREE Sci-Fi MMO out there. It has good battle system, and even better economic colony building system. The game creators havent abandoned it, and there are frequent small updates that fix bugs and do minor balancing. The game community is friendly and communicable. Rebang servers give newbies nice chance to become top players, and permament servers give opportunity to slowly build big empire.

The person below me (annoyingly typing in caps) is pretty dissapointed in SPGE (Starport: Galactic Empires). Understandably. the developers have decided that the game needs balancing and thus they released some changes that caused a lot of the player's work to become obsolete. In a communication to the community the creator said he sympatizes (how many free games have this close contact?) but that it is all for the best. Disregarding the bad short-term effects of the recent changes we should look at the game objectively. It's by far the best free independent Sci-Fi mmo out there. And one of the best mmo's. There's a deep gameplay to be found, which remains challenging years into playing. The community is close, and surprisingly friendly considering the harsh (and fun) player versus player in the game. There is quite a steep learning curve (with which the community will gladly help) and the game can be fairly hard but it's all worth it in the end. So try it out, face some early dissapointments, adapt and find a real gem among free games.

THE CREATOR OF STARPORT, TOONCES, HAS RUINED THE GAME FOR ALL THE PLAYERS. THE WHOLE POINT OF STARPORT IS TO NOW SPEND 8+ HOURS ON THE GAME AND GET NOWHERE. THE GAME IS CALLED STARPORT GALACTIC EMPIRES, HOWEVER THE CREATOR DECIDED HE DOESNT LIKE PLAYERS HAVING EMPIRES, SO HE IS MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO MAINTAIN ANYTHING MORE THAN 2 COLONIES. I HAVE PLAYED THIS GAME 2 YEARS, AND IT WAS A FUN GAME, SADLY NOW, THE CREATOR HAS RUINED THIS GAME. DONT PLAY THIS GAME IT IS A WASTE OF TIME.

I like typing. uhh anyways i think the game is pretty good for a freebe. Thats it.
