Facebook Games: Galaxy Online 2

Galaxy Online 2 is an RTS browser based war game. Create a city, build fleets, use technology, help friends and battle other Facebook users in a huge galaxy.


Game Basics
Galaxy Online II is a RTS game that takes place in space. Players develop their own planet with structures, build space fleets, use technologies, and hire commanders to fight for them. The game features multiple ships you can build complete with individual parts such as weapon system and shields. NPC instances are available where rewards such as blueprints for new ship types are offered as rewards. Galaxy Online II features animated graphics that is a big change from most games of this genre on Facebook.

Economy
Galaxy Online II offers three main resources for shipbuilding and structures. Metal and gas are the two main resources while gold helps with research and shipbuilding. Resources gathered at a warehouse go into your account. With higher-level residences, gold reserves increase adding to your money supply. Players can trade ships and blueprints in the trade center for more gold. A space station also provides extra resources for the player. Overall, the economy is about the same as other browser-based games in this genre.

Technology
Galaxy Online II features a whole host of different technologies with multiple levels. Players can research ballistic weapons, missiles, better mining yields, ship defenses, planet defenses, shipbuilding, and much more. Each technology has multiple levels and there’s enough here to keep you busy for a while.

Blueprints
One nice part about the game is the ability to use blueprints to get new ships and weapons. While you can build some standard ships without them most high-level ships and weapons need blueprints. To obtain these you’ll need to play through instances which are controlled by NPCs. As you defeat the NPCS, you’ll win treasure boxes that may contain blueprints. There’s dozens of ships and weapon blueprints to collect for the ultimate fleet. Blueprints add a great deal of repeat game play and are a highlight of this game. It's always fun to get a new blueprint and put the ship or weapon to work in your fleet.
