Yeah that was confusing a bit.

TradeWars is a bit like modern massive online games. YOu are supposed to devote
a fixed ammount of time to it each day. Else it is not really worth it.

I bet if there were nodes with enough players it would be better. I was having
some fun in a node with about 4 players and managed to equip some planet with a
monster Quasar canon before the BBS crashed and destroyed my Empire.

I thik that for the modern man, games like Glowal War work a bit better,
because you can devote 10 minutes a day to them and be done. You get the
multiplayer experience without having to sacrify other hobbies to it.
