Wait, is it an MMO type game? Comparable to Stars! with wego turns, where players play & upload their turns to the server which then process it, and players download new turn & repeat? (if I have understood it correctly)

@kuokkanen:
No, need to upload turns, it is browser based and does not really have turns.
Every 10 hours there is a "Cycle End" where some processing is done and values updated.
Play is not limited by the cycle, but other factors.
For example, when fleets jump to another star , they have to recharge, delaying that specific fleet.
