Hi,

what do you think of Space Discovery (http://www.space-discovery.net)

Here is the discription of the Game:

Space Discovery – A Strategic Online Game

Travel the milkstreet in this virtual browser-based strategy game. Build mighty bulwarks on other planets and swing up to the masters of mankind ...

In the space browser game Space Discovery you enter a new world of mystery and adventure. You start off in the distant future in a more distant galaxy. As the leader of a small part of humanity, it is in your job now to colonize the known universe and to ensure appropriate protection of your subordinates. Life in space is dangerous!

Build an impressive base and defend them with all the means that are at your disposal. Only then will you be successful in Space Discovery. Before beginning, choose for which faction you want to argue in Space Discovery. Of this choice also depends who will soon be encountered as a friend and enemy in the far reaches of the galaxy. Other groups want a large a slice of the cake, too. So choose your allies and take on your opponents well prepared. Several types of buildings and a range of different units are available for your aim. Decide how to use the resources in the best and most effective available way. Whether helicopters or armored vehicles - It's up to you how you want to move forward in Space Discovery. Gradually you capture more new bases of other players and broaden your sphere of influence. But remember to secure always your supremacy, otherwise early successes will transform in late defeats.

Can you use every option for your advantage? Then the way to a glorious future is close.

What is really cool in the game?

- Build alliances

- share units and recources with friends

- fight with strangers against bigger opponents

- with a bigger highscore you´ll recieve free credits

Are you interested in this game? Any failure found? Anything good and you want to post it here instead of the ingame forum?

Well, I WOULd be interested, if the registering interface wasn't in german. I saw no option to switch to english, so I didn't go further. 

The main page of the website only has an image, and big, ugly-looking "Login" and "Registrieren" links. That's an instant turnoff. 

I understand that it's open beta, but I feel that the game should be presented in some way on the game's website, before requiring a registration. Perhaps this will be resolved later on, as it goes closer to launch. Until then, I won't be going there.

It is available in English as well. On the top left of your screen should be a uk-flag were you can switch to english.

Maybe you should check a youtube video for more information. It is in German and a lot of talking in between, but you can see a bit of the game:

Tiny, tiny flags :) I missed them, true, thanks for pointing them out. 

Going to give the game a try once I have some free time.

Thanks, I need more players for the beta /)

Here are some screenshots:

Can I also travel the cartcaster and the tadshaft?

In the space browser game Space Discovery

Is it playable in a regular browser for those of us who don't have a space browser?

You start off in the distant future in a more distant galaxy.

Is there a bus that will take me back to milkstreet from this more distant galaxy?

Before beginning, choose for which faction you want to argue in Space Discovery.

Now there's a new twist on PVP: debate teams.

Other groups want a large a slice of the cake, too.

Bake offs, too? This is awesome!

Whether helicopters or armored vehicles - It's up to you how you want to move forward in Space Discovery.

That's some crazyass space gravity you've got there on milkstreet.

Are you interested in this game?

Very!

Any failure found?

None. This is a masterpiece!

This will follow. The game has a real great storyline.

Well for those who still can´t find it, here the screenshot:

Gave it a go, but hard to work out what to do as there is no FAQ

The alliance building, two players have added resources, but I can't take them out, can only the leader of the alliance take out the resources?

As waiting for resources takes... a long time, can you add a chat channel, so there is something to do while waiting.

Hi natjur,

it´s up to the alliance leader to decide who can take the recources from the depot. He has different options such as the ability to write a pm to the whole alliance, recrute members or take recources from the depot.

There is a forum for communication and you can send PM´s. I might think of a chat. Acctully it is not a bad idea, it could raise the Ingame communication.

By the way - there is now a special offer. Everyone registering until 01. March will recieve Credits worth of 1,99 € which you can use e.g. to buy a premium account for one month or for buying resources.

Been playing it a bit, but got a few questions I can't find the answers too

(1) Why is the tech tree per city, when forming a second colony, I have to start the tech tree again there. This means there is no point in having a second city as its a better use of resources just to keep increasing the first city then redo all the techs again.

(2) Formed an alliance and created an alliance outpost at both citys, but any resources stored in one can not be taken out in the other or by any other member even when the city withdraw is set to yes. So what is is for if you can only take out the resource you added at the place you added them? Can theses stored resources be robbed when attacked?

(3) The warehouses protect a % of resources instead of a set amount, which means they have no point as you just attack again a few mins later and get the rest. Is this working correctly?

(4) It says to become a system lord you have to own all 15 citys in an area, how can this be done as you can not take over a city. Do I have to  build 15 colonisers and build on every spot in a blank area?

[1] Well at a certain point you can´t increase your city anymore, so you will have to build new ones. Building new cities will bring advantages in transportation as well. And if you just stay with one city your fighting options are less as when you reached the maximum point you can´t further increase the building status´ in one city.

[2] Are you sure that other members can´t take resources out of the depot? Ussually if the settings are right they can take iron and crystals from the depot. At the moment you´re alone in your alliance, so there is noone who could recieve the resources.

[3] I will have a look on it

[4] Well, yes. As you can´t defeat a city and overtake it, you´ll have to build 15 bases in a blank country of Epsilon Eridani.

This was when I was in another alliance, the host did a whole lot of different setting and there was no way to transfer resources via the alliance building, can you review the code for it?

Well, the alliance builder is not sharing the resources of the alliance building with everyone from the alliance, that´s why you couldn´t get resources out from the alliance building.

This can be made to pretend that anyone is just taking resources out of the alliance building and then changes the alliance.

Anyway you´re at the moment the most successfull player. Congratulations for that. I hope to get more users soon, because than the game is a lot more fun. For that reason - here the link again :)
