I don't think I ever played that one. But do you remember Ultimate Universe? It was another TW-like game that had a huge number of ship upgrades that interacted in all kinds of weird ways. Stuff like a Sector Reflector (a holo scan of that sector shows you the sector you're in), Sector Reflector Detector (countermeasure for Sector Reflector), Sector Reflector Detector Rejecter (you can guess...) I never played it very much, either, but it was one of those games that had so much complexity I still wonder exactly how they pulled it off.

I played Galactic WarZone. similar to TW. I was looking for it when I found the Tradewars community still alive.. It was nowhere near as good as TW, but its development stopped 30 odd years ago.
