	My Space 1889 game
		The genre is Space 1889, a Victorian space opera.
		This is a PDF character sheet for Space 1889.
		The first is used in my game, since it roughly matches the description in the game book: a "1" is pretty poor, a "6" is as good as you are likely to see, and "3" is about average.

	Twilight Imperium - Fantasy Flight Games
		Setup of epic games alone takes the time that it would take to play many other games, and play time alone can take over a weekend or more, depending on the players and their patience, as well as playtime invested.
		Space Docks are required to produce these units (except other space docks), and are limited by the planet's resource rating.
		Space docks that you would build do not count against this number, so in essence you could build 6 units as long as one of those units was a space dock.

	WomenGamers.Com - Because Women DO Play (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		At the beginning of the each game, "scout" is the only ship type available, but by constructing different space stations or research facilities, a commander can advance on the technology tree to discover more powerful crafts and weapons for players to use.
		Before buying this game, gamers should play some other free multiplayer action games to see if their line is clear of line noise caused lag.
		But by creating a good gaming environment and team interactivity, the factions which team members must pledge allegiance to are too similar and are outshined by the bond between field pilots and the commander.

	Science Fiction Game Reviews
		In most games, this tends to be a high number, reflecting characters' truly epic ability to shrug off attack after attack.
		As a result, those looking to smash and blast their way through the space station are going to be in for a shock: The low-hit point threshold makes the game considerably deadlier than its d20 kin.
		The game's use of a scalable system for vehicle combat—the same system is used regardless of whether someone's driving a ground car or piloting a Minbari cruiser—is a nice touch, and it shows the strength of the open gaming license system upon which d20 is based.

	New Game
		This game is a space opera one set in some unknown universe (perhaps part of ours, perhaps not) currently recovering from a war of sorts and dealing with the after effects of an army, trying to find out if the enemy really was defeated and general issues of surviving.
		Space Opera, for those who don't know, is science fiction, with the emphasis placed on characters rather than ideas (soft as opposed to hard science fiction — Orson Scott Card vs. Larry Niven if someone wants names).
		The game is going to use the Unknown Armies game system, 2nd edition.

	Space Opera
		"Space Opera" is an online role playing and storytelling game that I am developing in my spare time.
		As a result, games offer hundreds of hours of playability, super amazing graphics and an incomprehensible user interface that takes an hour and a half to learn.
		One player starts the game and sends an email to his or her friends asking them to join the story.

	Space Opera - Other Suns - Wayne's World of Books - Info & Sources
		SPACE OPERA adventures may be interwoven over several game sessions to play out the lives of the characters involved in this fascinating game of action and interaction.
		SPACE OPERA is designed to be a versatile game and the tone of this atlas differs from that of Atlas 1.

	A New Breed of Space Opera
		Space opera, that wonderful genre of rip-roaring adventuring among the stars, was established in the 1920s by E. "Doc" Smith, one of the founders of modern science fiction, and this continued during the Golden Age of Science Fiction (the late 1930s and early 40s).
		It doesn't take much to realise that classic space opera is nothing more than the world of the 1940s, 50s, and 60s projected onto a deep space fantasy canvas.
		by suggesting that singularity events can only occur in regions of space distant from the main disc of the galaxy, and he freely admits this was done as a way of avoiding the implications of the technological Singularity (a concept he himself presented to the world).

	Frictionless Insight
		A new era of space exploration is about to dawn as soon as Galicticorp perfects a faster-than-light Thorium Fission Drive, and you're an unemployed space pilot.
		Games are designed to be playable in fifteen minutes, although they often take a lot less, and involve exploring the sixteen star systems that comprise The Purple Void.
		Since most of the game's code can be opened with a simple text-reader, you can always find out for yourself the relative worth of items, but a little empirical observation will give you enough general knowledge to become a savvy space trader.

	Games
		It is a text-only adventure game, in the spirit of the classical time-sharing games, Adventure and Zork, from the 1970's.
		While it isn't free, the good news is that the game is a few years old and you can get a copy for about $10 on clearance.
		The game is in the second expansion pack for the third version as of May 2000, with a fourth version rumored to be on the way.

	Blood and Space (Print Version)
		Not quite a game on it's own, it's aimed at supplementing one of the increasingly large number of d20 SF games (at least 6 by my count, with 3 more on the way).
		There are two civilian starship crew/pilot types, the "Hauler", something of a space teamster (a bit weak, probably suited for NPCs), and the Smuggler, a Han Solo type (fairly close to the Rogue class).
		The computer games that use this system have a similar problem - either they only focus on smaller ships, like Elite or Privateer, or in the Master of Orion series, which ships keep getting bigger and bigger, the really large ships are cheaper than they probably should be.

	FF: Building the Better Spaceship
		An exact size is not derived from a Scale rating and these ratings as they may vary from game to game, but a good rule of thumb is that every Scale is about 2 times larger then the Scale that preceded it.

	A 3D 4x Space Opera game is in development! - GameDev.Net Discussion Forums
		I am developing a 3D Master of Orion like game, and after having created a little engine capable of rendering planets, stars and so on, it is time to think about the design of the game.
		A "Space Opera" is a Master of Orion - Civilization in space - like game where you play the part of a space-faring race.
		I put the emphasis on "space opera" because for me this kind of game must tell a story that is as compelling as possible and not be just about numbers.

	Game: Freespace 2 - Mod DB
		The game begins with an alliance of humans and alien Vasudans attempting to rebuild their armies 32 years after the end of 'The Great War,' the battles of which were the subject of Freespace.
		The game's emphasis on the plot is not just window-dressing, either: as in Wing Commander, your choices as well as mission successes and failures determine how the plot will develop, and ultimately what ending you will see.
		With an epic-sized space operaic plot, gorgeous graphics, top-notch space combat action, optional missions and multiple endings, and virtually unlimited replayability, Freespace 2 is a must-have for all armchair space pilots...

	Macworld: Review: The Game Room
		A sprawling space opera, Homeworld 2 tells the story of the Hiigarans, a space-faring race of people that has returned to Hiigara from a distant exile, only to find themselves persecuted by a warrior clan called the Vaygr.
		The game’s events are often accompanied by radio chatter from squadron leaders, ship commanders, and other voices from your fleet—all of which could quickly become irritating in an inferior game.
		Rise of the Nile is an old-fashioned pipe-laying game with a new twist.

	Game concept for Space Opera \| The Cesspit.
		The 3D space is your environment, total freedom, with both speed and maneuverability to make the movement the real core gameplay.
		The exodus represents the course of the game itself, so with a definite conclusion but story-wise the game will end with a sad revelation: when you'll reach what you chased along the whole game you'll discover that it's not what you hoped, so your people will have to continue the "endless journey".
		The game will have a RPG side where you have to develop certain skills (not helping you to aim, but for example affecting damage you deal, speed, shields and so on).

	Space Opera: Going boldly where no one asked us to
		Lois is currently running a bebop style game and my husband is running a Dawnfire game and my friend Mawg is running a Cyberpunk game.
		A lot of times I am in a game where people walk all over the firelord by saying "You shouldn't let her do that" Or "I would have just killed them" Or "hey that is NOT fair!" I granted tend to argue about XP and just generally like pestering the person in charge.

	Trade Wars 2002 History
		It is an amazingly complex space opera game for such an early time, and it fit entirely on two 5 1/4th inch floppies.
		Currently, the game is 32 bit, played via TCP/IP from either a telnet client or one of the many "helper" applications that have been written for it, it allows up to 20,000 sectors, and up to 100 active players on the server at once.
		Trade Wars as a game has its roots very far back in the history of online gaming, yet unlike most games, it continues to be played in a form very close to its origins.

		He goes on to answer his own question, and observes that the issues relating to franchise development (and redevelopment) are extremely pertinent to the games industry.
		Ron notes, in passing, that he wasn’t even sure if he wanted to get back into the space opera game at this point, and so a certain whimsy guided his hand in laying out the new framework.
		To improve the audience's ability to accept this element, which risked the audience rolling their eyes in disbelief when it was eventually brought up, Ron elected to make it a lie on Adama’s part.
