While most other browser based strategy games simply treat territory as an abstract number, and allow any player to attack any other (usually with some restrictions to discourage powerful players from attacking much weaker ones), ''Space'' has a map where every ''system'' has a fixed location. This means that players can only interact with players who are their immediate neighbours on the map. Because of the map feature the game only officially support the [[Internet Explorer]] browser ([[Opera (web browser)|Opera]] can also be used, though a few non-critical features still only work in Internet Explorer). Re-making the map to use modern standard JavaScript (or turn it into a [[Java applet]]) have been considered, but deemed to be far to labour intensive at the present. | ||
