Star Federation
(Online since 2014)Star Federation is a browser-based military-economic strategy game with great opportunities, which combines city building with the construction of cities on the planets and grandiose expansions and clashes between various representatives of space civilizations. Most science fiction games are focused on war or a little bit of everything, but here the balance is observed in all directions, and the result is a mini-guide for the little ones on building a galactic empire.
The game has a lot of diverse content and the difficulty level is not for a schoolboy, in fact, only a hardcore player and an ardent Sci-Fi fan will make this project his real home. There are more races here than in any other role-playing mmo in the browser, and each has unique technologies and capabilities. The Star Federation has a fully balanced economy with colonization, where the main task will be to extract a variety of resources to create a fleet and an army. It is the success in the conduct of war that entirely and completely lies on the ability to raise a serious economy and establish a continuous study and improvement of technologies, thanks to which you can create unique spaceships according to your drawings, which will be the envy of others.
The variety of possibilities is the main advantage of the Star Federation and the reason that the familiarization period is delayed for a couple of weeks, and only then can you fully see all the possibilities and start moving in your preferred direction. After all, first you have to understand the resources, materials, currencies, ship components, buildings, and understand how to extract, sell, buy the necessary minerals. In addition, with all this, one must not die and resist political intrigues that will be arranged by other players. And legends about mythical ancient civilizations and artifacts that they left behind will give mystery in all this chaos.
You will have a choice, show your talent as a diplomat and build your greatness only on alliances and trade. Or you can become a bad guy and choose the path of war, raids, and pirate fishing. Well, if you get very angry and become evil like Lucifer himself, then there is an opportunity to turn a planet or an entire star system into dust. To start playing, you need to register, but note that at this moment you need to decide on the race, on the main page there is a plate with descriptions of each of them.

A real hidden gem. Apparently this has been out since 2014(!) and I've never heard of it. Several hundred players online whenever I've checked in the last few days, so it's definitely not dead.
Very involved economic system. I'll preface this by saying that trade is VERY easy to do in this game, and there is a large trade network, so don't worry if the following sounds too complex... But basically there's a lot of resources in this game lol. Broadly the main stuff can be divided into 4 categories: Raw Resources, which are extracted through planetary buildings or mining fleets etc, Processed Materials, which are made out of those resources, Manufactured Components, which are made from those materials, and finally Spaceships which have to be assembled from those components. It's quite complicated lol. That said it works, and is very satisfying to me so far. No other game gives you such a defined process when it comes to actually BUILDING your starships, if your into that sort of thing this game does it well. Great economics.
I've not yet got to combat, but there is a LOT of variation in how you can make your spaceships etc, and I've heard the combat is good too. Apparently it's complicated too, and you can do a lot of stuff. Seeing the huge variety in hull types and components I can believe it.
Now on to the reason I think it's flown under the radar... I'm pretty sure the game was first made in Russian. It's translated into English, and that means there can be some difficulties understanding certain parts of the interface, especially where abbreviations or shorthand are used which dont translate well (like col being used instead of qty to depict "quantity". I guess col is short for the Russian word?). The game has an auto translate by default in the in game chat which works pretty well and everything is definitely understandable, even if phrasing can seem quite strange.
You'll notice however that when you turn the autotranslator off ALL the alliance advert messages are actually in Russian.
I think I might be the only English-speaker actually playing lol, there certainly aren't any native English speaking alliances at least.
So yeah... It's a GREAT game, but the localisation and language issues hold it back a little. If there was an English speaking clone I'd probably play it instead (because then I could chat with alliance-mates in discord instead of only in-game chat) , but I've played a LOT of browser based space strategy games, and none of them come close to this. So I guess I'll have to get used to the autotranslator or hope you, the reader, decide to give it a try. If you do, send me an in-game message. My username is Myriddin, and I'd be happy to answer any questions about the mechanics and such. The in-game manual is quite large, but also misses some of the procedural stuff and good luck getting anything useful from a wiki or reddit searching for 'Star Federation'. The name is so generic I struggled to even find this Web page after looking for it haha.
