Galactic Fleets is an awesome game. I've been playing for nearly a year and in that time I've amassed armadas, invaded dozens of systems, blasted my enemies, been blasted myself, rebuilt and plotted my revenge...
There are so many facets to the game, from tradng and economics, population management, navigation and logistics, factional and tribal politics, and warfare if you should choose to take arms...
The GF community is large and friendly (even among rivals) and we're all ready to welcome new players -- we'll point you in the right direction, we'll answer any question no matter how silly, we'll help you obtain new systems and sell you new ships on the cheap... There is a Mibbit-powered in-game chat facility where you can hook up with ppl from all over the world: where else can you converse with the power-brokers of a game in real time?
It's a huge galaxy with a lot of empty space; we've not had many new players of late, and we're most keen to attract some fresh faces. Whether Altian, Raxian, Casian or Solian -- join us and stick with it, and you'll find yourself among friends.
Looking forward to seeing you there :)
