Smugglers of the Galaxy

Players captain space freighters across a dangerous galaxy, trading goods between planets, smuggling illegal cargo past customs, taking contracts from crime lords, hunting bounties, or attacking merchants and rivals. Different worlds demand Food, Robots, Weapons, Luxuries, and Medical Supplies, creating opportunities to buy low and sell high while avoiding pirates and battlecruisers. Credits fund upgrades to cargo capacity, engines, lightspeed, lasers, and shields, along with specialized equipment such as cloaking devices and secret compartments. Players choose their own path as merchants, smugglers, pirates, or bounty hunters while managing risk, reputation, and ship improvements.

    It was an interesting game, but seemed to drag on too long for what it was.
