Space Civilizations is a turn-based massive multiplayer space strategy game, that is played with a very slim downloadable client.
You share a galaxy with hundreds of players, some of them might turn out to be your enemies, others could be your allies.
You need to explore the world around you, expand your empire, become more technologically advanced
so that you can build better and faster ships that will give you the edge in epic battles.
Space Civilizations is clearly inspired by the hundreds of browser based games out there, but we did not want to add yet another one, but instead
we took the basic idea to the next level, while leaving the shortcomings of existing games behind.
If you are into online space strategy games, then Space Civilizations might offer you just what you have been looking for!

Since Space Civilizations is played in a standalone windows-application, the entire look and feel will be instantly familiar to you.
No more hacking of coordinates into your keyboard to issue one command after the other - instead use multi-selection, point and click, drag and drop,
and context menus to control the game! No more waiting for web-pages to build up, just because you ordered one more ship to be built.
Instead in Space Civilizations everything happens virtually instantly, because only very little data needs to be sent between the server and the client.
And best of all: a full 3D controllable galaxy-map, that actually shows the world you are playing in!
See the screenshots section to get a first impression. Now imagine you can seamlessly zoom in on every planet, sun or ship, giving your orders
right there in the map, twist and turn the view around, and zoom out again to see the vast stretches of the entire galaxy...
Territorial borders and ship-routes are displayed as well as special effects to make this experience a feast for your eyes.
In Space Civilizations there are no coordinates, hence there is no tile based coordinate system.
If you send a ship from planet A to planet B, the ship flies on a straight line between those two arbitrary points in space.
Though for your convenience a course is automatically plotted around suns and planets, in order to protect your property from destruction,
and ultimately save the lives of the crew-men aboard 
Space Civilizations is FREE TO PLAY!
Even though the current version is a 100% playable, there are still many features that we want to implement.
In fact development is continuing on a daily basis, and updated versions are constantly released. But not only do we have many more ideas that
we want to add to improve the game, but we also want to listen very closely to the players - that is YOU - and ultimately create the game that YOU like to play!
