Just wondered if anyone here plays Merchant Empires. If not its worth checking out, its a free online space trader/fighter game where you build bases, destroy bases, trade, upgrade ports, research weapons and base design, buy bigger and better ships and more
. The new round started a couple days ago... if you need an alliance let me know and I'll get you hooked up

Basically the game is turn based but real time. Every hour you get turns (all actions cost turns) and you can use them whenever but only store like 40 hours worth of them or so. Turns are used to trade, attack, build, excetra.
