I used to play a glorified spreadsheet based browser game called Astro Empires with goons. Eve without the graphics, all the drama. We had hundreds of goons playing across multiple servers about 20 years ago.

Did Astro Empires involve sending fleets at certain hours and then waiting like 5 hours for them to reach and scanning before your fleet arrives to check if it's a bad idea? Because I also played that but not with goons

Like, what it was like 24 years ago, not what it is now

The biggest one (at least for my group) was Planetarion, and I think the biggest competitor was Hyperium.

Planetarion rings a bell, I think it was that. Thanks!
