If your looking for a fantastic MMORPG, with great supportive players, turn based but for free members you get a turn every 8 seconds (paid members get 1 about every 6 seconds) so you can spend all day playing and researching the strategy you think is best. The different speed versions so you choose the one right for how often you going to play. Find and join some ones federation to receive reinforcements and advice(which i would advise doing). Research ships to build a customized fleet which can be made simple by getting a experienced player to tell you what ships to builds and the order to build them or really get into the fun and research/experiment with your home made fleet.
Hope to see you in the game(URL below) and if/when you start, either get in touch with me(wolverine) or post in the chat that you are a new player and would like some help and within a couple minutes someone should help you out. Good luck.

I've recently discovered how much I love to play a game of chess against myself.
Actually, I wouldnt call it just another real time management game at all...
Ive been on the game a long time (3092 days....oops).
I have never once found another game that is AS real time, not like this. I mean, obviously there are a ton of games where you walk around and what not, and obviously those are real time, but the turn every 6-8 seconds is amazingly fast paced when you get to playing.
Most games are sort of set it and forget it, Im thinking Ogame, Travian, Tribalwars, etc. You queue up some buildings, launch attacks, and wait for them to hit. Sometimes those queues can run for hours or days. Ive launched attacks on a game that took 10 days to hit the intended target.
On unification wars (UC), when you attack someone, it happens instantly (just uses 5 turns). I actually have my turns set to max out at 1200 turns (it would be 1800 turns stored if I was a paid account, but I never pay for games). So I log in in my spare time, and I have 1200 turns to attack with.
It is the same with fleet building and such. When you click build, it uses turns you have stored up, but you dont have to wait. You click build and it happens instantly. In 8 years, Ive never found another game that had that sort of system, and that alone is probably enough to keep me on UC

Now you mentioned money grabbing, which again is totally false. Yeah, you can definitely pay for the game IF YOU WANT. Honestly though, if you are an active player, you should have no trouble finding people to give you a free months paid account. Especially new players - if you show that you arent quitting immediately, we love getting new players and dropping DP's (donation points) on them so they can buy a paid account.
Like I mentioned earlier, I dont like to pay for games. Im a pretty good player there (id hope so after 8 years...) and Ive never spent a dime on the game. Yet I have spent enough in game to be worth close to 200 dollars, just free points given for game events, completing mercenary tasks set by other players, etc etc.
When it comes to paying, there is also a very limited number of things you can actually buy. You can pay for a paid account, which gives you like 15% faster turn generation and a higher turn storage. Aside from that, there are a couple paid items that are worth getting - but again, any new player who shows an intention to stick around and is actively learning, will easily find someone who will drop some points on them. (Donation Points can be won by activating a special project, so you dont even have to pay to get them, people are constantly activating the project)
----------
The player community is excellent. Maybe its just because Ive known some of these guys longer than Ive known people in real life, but ask most anyone, once you get into this game, its pretty hard to quit - Ive tried a few times, always come back. Its not as common a term these days, but we used to call it Space Crack haha

Yeah sure...
We are different people :P I know him from UC, and I had to create account to respond because I took offense to my favorite game ever being called just another money grabbing management sim haha
And I did forget to address, very little actual management to do on the game - its all about fighting really. obviously setting up a good economy is important, but honestly the setup can be done in about 4 hours of boringness, and the rest is just fighting your way up.
"mmorpg.com forum admins are all TROLLS and losers in real life"
My opinion
You dont walk a character around, but strictly speaking it is an mmorpg.
You choose from different classes and whatnot, each with different attributes, in a world that goes on and changes and other players interact while you are not there. Your player specifically doesnt level up, but you are acting as the leader of an empire, and your empire does level up.
Fighting is not done hand to hand, but rather fleet against fleet. Rather than equipping different types of gear or whatever, you have war ministers with different traits to either boost your weapons / shields or reduce enemy weapon and shields, and you order your fleet based on attack / defense style.
So it is, even if it is different from the more popular walk around, graphics intense approach.
Haha to funny

everyone knows the best turn based game is

I think it is interesting that none of the "haters" on this thread have any actually knowledge of the game... a screenshot can not capture the intense strategy involved in a game. So if your going to offer an opinion or review about a game its probably best you atleast play it. As for anyone looking for a great MMORPG, i would suggest giving this one a solid try. Myself along with countless other players have been playing this game for 10+ years, in the mmorpg world that is virtually unheard of, i did say virtually because i know someone is going to comment with a list of games where 70+% of the time/resources to make and run the game go into graphics, 10+ years and i still learn stuff about the game everyday and meet great people.
oh and the project that Tysel was talking about to get free DPs(donation points used to buy paid accounts and paid projects) activates a weapon that can damage all the empires on that game speed(server), the flip side is the empire to activate it has to stay above a certain power range for X amount of hours while every empire on the server is trying to take him out.
For anyone who wants a little help in the game i just changed my empire name, it was wolverine, it is now Red. Feel free to send me a private message by clicking on your empire name towards the top right.
Look forward to hearing from ya.
