I'm playing the closed beta of a new game by Kixeye, and I think it is something TradeWars players might enjoy. There's not trading, but you collect resources, build a base and ships so you can go attack other players. It has been a lot of fun so far. You have to send a request if you want to get in on the closed beta: VEGA Conflict Closed Beta Application |

Looks like Battle Pirates with a scifi mod. |

Yeah, it's still missing a lot of features that BP has. i.e. zoom, private messaging, ignore in chat, /base chat command, etc... etc... Just to name a few... They still have a long way to go, but it is faster and more stable than BP at this time. Combat is much more difficult than it is in BP, various hulls have different firing arcs, and they have staffing capabilities. You can attack players while they are moving, which adds a different dynamic to FvF combat. No walls or channels in your base, so I'm not sure how base defense is going to work. |

Being able to hit people on the move would be nice. It does sound quite intriguing. |

Yeah, but being hit isn't so much fun. At least you can attack someone after they hit your friends base. |
