Since I haven't found any specific thread about this great browser game (it has cool and detailed pictures:P), I'm starting a new one.

The official description of the game:
OGame is a strategy-game set in space. Thousands of players across the world compete at the same time. In order to play you only need a web browser.
My description:
When you register for free (only mail, account name and pass are needed), you get to choose your own universe in which you are going to play. Once you do this, you start on a randomly selected planet in a solar system, which is positioned in a galaxy. So every universe is divided into galaxies and solar systems, each system can hold up to 15 planets.
You start with a minimum amount of resources, which are metal, crystal and deuterium. At the beginning, everyone concentrates on building and upgrading your mines, which produce the resources mentioned above. After some time and some decent upgrades, you can start building your defenses (rocket launchers being the cheapest, different sorts of lasers and ultimately, costly and powerful plasma turrets) and making even more upgrades on mines or you can start building your fleet and raid other people with it. It all depends on your playstyle. Once you build a research lab (which should happen quite soon) you can conduct more research on different fields (new types of defense and attack ships, improvements on armor and attack power, faster building times, etc etc).
The game is quite complex and I described only a small portion of it. Things like rapid fire, profits, graviton research, what RIP means, advanced defense and attack strategies and descriptions of different playstyles can be found at the pages below:
