2D Space Sandbox, does it exist?
As per the title, does a 2D space MMO(RPG) with sandbox elements exist.
What i mean with sandbox elements would be for example free trading or piracy, as well as maybe holding/building structures.
It doesn't need to necessarily be all the way PVP like EVE but can.
Control/gameplay wise I would like either something in the direction of a twin-stick shooter (top down) with real time controls, or a turn-based game with direct unit control (so, please, no OGame or other nonsense).
I remember a game like that existing a while back, unfortunately i forgot the name of it.
Of course if there is something in 3D besides EVE and Dark Space that i don't know about I'll take it too (do not suggest Black Prophecy or Taikodom).

There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein
"Graphics are often supplied by Engines that (some) MMORPG's are built in" - Spuffyre
I was looking for that one on various sites but they all seem to indicate that the game is dead.
EDIT: Apparently its now called "After Protocol", ill check it out but its an RTS, i was more thinking about an RPG or TB RPG/Strategy, something where you control just one ship/entity or a very limited squad (Atlantica Online)
Space
Pirates
And
Zombies

The same people that did Terraria from what I understand. Not quite what your looking for but most likely closer then anything your going to find.
Afaik Star Bound isn't even out yet.
But yeah it looks cool.
That is correct but its suppose to be out this fall.
Ok so because people aren't getting what I'm on about.
Like this, but an MMO:
Starfarer

Is a 2d space sandbox also (and better than spaz)
I already have FTL and its neither a sandbox nor an MMO.
Its a singleplayer roguelike.
FTL is amazing coffebreak game. But its not MMO type time waster.
If you want singleplayer game - this is what you need :
Space Rangers 2
But You want something like EVE but browser based MMO ?
Well , thats something I been looking for ages. There are few being made. But nothing really good at this moment.
I didn't say browser based, i said 2D, it can have a client for all i care.
I also gave an example, similar to Starfarer, except an MMO, and actually released (and for the love of fuck not an RTS).

Only thing that comes close to what you was asking for. Infact this has everything you asked for.

This is in effect a 2D browser based version of EvE. PvP, player economy, territory control etc.
I think i have the game you are looking for, have you ever heard about voidspace?

Yup, I was wondering why someone was claiming that "starbound" wasn't out yet on the first page, then I checked the post dates.
To find an intelligent person in a PUG is not that rare, but to find a PUG made up of "all" intelligent people is one of the rarest phenomenons in the known universe.
I thought I was having a stroke for a second before I looked at the dates on the first page.
