Yea, I've played a game on the net called Galactic Bloodshed. You
start as a race on a planet (your own design of race) and explore
reproduce build resorces technology and such then explore other
planets ofcource while this is going on there are anywhere from 1 to
100 other players doing the same thing in other systems. So ya build
ships, fighters, battle cruisers, ect... and war breaks out.

There is anouther game called Conquest played the same way only on the
planet scale.

You can find more info about GB (Galactic Bloodshed) in alt.games.gb

Hope this helps.
