Description
Starship Traders II is a trading and war game set in a universe divided
into multiple galaxies. Individual locations within the game, called
'sectors', can contain ports, planets, nebulas, wormholes, and black
holes, as well as objects owned by players. Players can park their
starships, deploy their fighters, and build starbases in sectors.

Players can earn money ('microbots') by hauling commodities between
ports and from planets. These microbots can be used as cash to buy
equipment and military hardware at trading posts, or microbots can be
used directly in combination with commodities to build fighters or
starbases.

Players can deploy fighters and build starbases to guard prime trading
territories and valuable sectors or they can use fighters to attack the
deployed forces of other players. Players can also attack and destroy
the starships of other players that they find.

Players can create teams which are ranked separately from the player
standings. Players can apply to a team and the team captain can then
either accept or reject the application. Team members can move safely
through the fighter and starbase fortifications of their teammates and
allied attack-mode starbases will not attack them.

Obviously, as in any multiplayer strategy game, politics and diplomacy
can be important. Try to avoid making too many enemies early in the
game!
