TDZK- Free Online Space Combat Game: Explore, Trade, Conqu..

Archived from groups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.space-sim (More info?)

I'm here posting about a game which I have been playing for about the
last year and a half, and I just wanted to share it with more people.
The game is called "TDZK", which is short for "Taenaria, Derivia,
Zallus, Kitara", which are the home planets of four of the seven
selectable races in the game.

You might be thinking, "Ugh, browsers based game? Booooooring."

However, TDZK is not any average browser based game. Unlike most other
games based in the browser setting, it's turn based, not tick. So you
won't have to babysit your character 24/7 to make sure that you are
not attacked. You gain turns, and then spend them

Another one of the main selling points of the game is the huge amount
of career choices to choose from. You can choose to be a peaceful
trader whose only goal is to gain experience and money. Or you can
choose to get into a powerful warbird and either hunt these traders
down or go after other warbirds. Or you can choose to be a pirate
(yarr!), cruising through space and pirating both warbirds and
traders. Other "careers" include searching for items in deep space,
fighting NPCs to lessen the scourge threat in the galaxy, raid high
levels stations to knock out players sleeping in them, repair other
ships, scout distant systems to find nice targets, mine systems... and
the list goes on.

And the best part of the game is definitely the "alliance" system in
place. You can team up with a bunch of your friends and create a
mighty force to fight other alliances. Or you can get started in one
of the existing alliances and work your way up the ranks. Either way,
you'll have a great time.

The admins of the game are very, very active, and the game is built
upon player created ideas. If you have an idea that you think will
make the game more fun... just post it in the forums! The admins are
great at what they do, and pay attention to everything the playerbase
has to say. The admins are very active in tracking down cheaters, and
if you find something wrong, are very approachable.

The game itself has an active playerbase of around 2000 players, and
these alliances have players of all ages and nationalities. I'm in an
alliance with a bunch of germans, americans, austrailians, british,
dutch, and maybe a canadian or two . No matter what you choose to do
in this game, you will find a group of players who you can have a
great time with.
