Hyperiums

[MalletFace]

I was wondering if anybody has played or heard of Hyperiums: http://hyperiums.com/

If you haven't, it is a massively multiplayer space strategy game, in which, as simply as it can be put, you build up an empire. Most of the community is very helpful to new players, and the game can range from quiet buildup of a planet's economy, to intergalactic total war (One happened just recently, but I was not a part of it). I am not one of the major players in the politics of any super-cluster, but even small players, like me, have the ability to conquer every one of a player's planets.

That site has no screenshots. I assume its all text based?

It is text-based. I don't believe too many screenshots of the game are actually out there, either.

They kept the graphics down to focus on other things, like choice. This is one of those games that many people will turn down because of that, but those who don't tend to stick with it.

Edit: Here is a screenshot from in-game. The game isn't intended to look good, and it almost seems like they change things just to make them look worse, but it doesn't bother me.

Hyperiums is a superb game if your into thinking strategy games. I'm hooked on both KSP and Hyps. Both highly involve strategic thinking.
