Barons of the Galaxy is in browser economy based game set in a future where corporations have taken over everything.  Congratulations you are one of those corporations.  Simplest discription that comes to my mind is a cross between Capitalism and Imperium Nova

The game is free to play with optional subscription.  There are a number of features locked behind the subscription but not having one doesn't prevent you from playing the game.

Start off by extracting raw materials.  Move on to creating material components and eventually end consumer goods.  Conversely you can just get rich watching the market and buying low and selling high.  Use your riches to fund a military to protect your investments from raiders or crazed machines.  Then join in politics and get elected ruler of a city, planet or solar system.

The game world is ever expanding.  New cities will spawn at locations that players create a large amount of industry.  Once a system has enough cities a new solar system will be opened up for exploitation.  City population is dependent on corporations bringing in products to meet enough of their demand.

Edit: The game was reset on October 5th, 2019.  Anyone who previously played is receiving a bonus and anyone who has payed before will receive benefits based on that as well.

For anyone interested we have a guild in game: Underhome Extraction

Just let one of us know your corporation name if you want to join.  You will need to check the guild page under the corporate tab to even know if you got an invite or not.

Sounds interesting, but what is locked behing subscription? There's a wide gulf between 'tools of convenience' and 'you'll be curbstomped by a subscriber no matter what'

[Shooer]

Two main things subscribers get only:
1) Is voting on events or getting elected ruler.  Ruler mainly means a free income based on the population of the city/planet/system.
2) Is being able to move HQ off Earth.  This one is kind of big.  Having your HQ near your production reduces costs.

[Hanzoku]

So in the long term, you won't be able to compete against subscribers because they'll be vastly more efficient as the game universe expands.

It means I'll still give it a look, but I'll also be far more ready to drop it like a hot potato.

How heavily invested do you need to be in this game?
I like browser games like this where I can log on for 20 minutes and thats it.

Sometimes I find with browser games that revolve around time based construction and actions I'm constantly checking it every 30 minutes.

You can play as actively as you want.

I personally focus on setting up industry chains.  I mainly need to check the game maybe twice a day to make sure my transports are going to the best city to ensure I'm making a profit.
For reference a ACP to build a new structure takes nearly 9 hours to make, but you can schedule a transport to pick it up as soon as it's done and move it to where you want it without having to be there.

There are of course others who are a lot more active.  They are on watching events and trying to take advantage of them quickly.

I have formed Exostar and I am focusing on Exotic Minerals as it was suggested during creation.

Though mining basic minerals till I can setup a quarry at an exotic node.

Pretty fun game, actively developed and it seems the players got a say in the development plan. Right now my biggest slump is pretty much being unable to get a really good income going, but hopefully with some more industry branching this changes. We also got a guild going and a sort of discord, so hop on in if you're interested.

Also watching a high level kaiju slowly tear it's way across Earth.  People keep feeding it trucks, mostly accidentally.  It will be at it's target in roughly 9 hours and when it get's there we will see how the volunteers guarding Earth stand up.

[Cyroth]

The poor Kaiju got almost killed by earths combined military in a single round, even before we poured several hundred thousand tons of its personal kryptonite on it in order to finish it off in what was probably the most painful way possible. Who is the real monster now?

[Cheedows]

Capitalism.

What if we need Godzilla next time? Who will save us!

I can't seem to create a corporation. Every time I hit "Create your Corporation" on Tutorial 1, it tells me that "There has been an Error with the website" I'll try again later but this isn't promising.

EDIT: anyone got a fix for this?
