You design and command starships in a sci-fi galaxy, shaping each vessel’s layout and choosing where to place weapons, engines, shields, crew quarters, and other modules. Your ship’s construction affects how it moves, fights, and survives damage.
Crew members move through the ship to operate systems and carry resources such as batteries and ammunition. Plan corridors, storage, and module placement so the crew can do their jobs efficiently; assign roles and job priorities to adjust how they work.
Take your ship or fleet into real-time tactical battles, target specific enemy modules, and collect loot from the wreckage. In career mode, explore a procedurally generated galaxy, take contracts, and upgrade your ships. You can also build freely in Creative Mode, play online co-op, or test designs in PvP.
In the supplied reviews, players often enjoy designing ships and tuning their layouts, crew routes, weapons, defenses, and resources, then seeing those choices play out in combat. Experimenting with different builds and rebuilding after a fight are recurring draws, and some players also praise co-op and mod support. Many reviews, however, describe career missions and longer-term progression as repetitive or lacking depth.
