More about this game
Take command of a starship and explore a vast frontier filled with alien planets and hostile rogue vessels. Your goal is to navigate through deep space, skimming atmospheres and hunting down enemy ships. Manage your throttle, align with destinations, and engage in dogfights using your pulse cannons. The challenge increases as you take damage from enemy fire or terrain collisions, requiring you to step away from the helm to perform repairs. The run ends if your hull integrity reaches zero, destroying your ship and leaving you adrift.
Tips
- If your hull takes damage, leave the pilot seat by pressing G, walk to the engineering console, and hold E to repair it at 18 points per second.
- Your ship's shields will regenerate automatically after 5 seconds of avoiding damage, so retreat and evade enemy fire if your shields are completely depleted during a dogfight.
- When cruising in an atmosphere below 650 meters, your speed is automatically capped at 110 m/s to help you safely explore and prevent accidental terrain collisions.
FAQ
- How do I repair my ship?
- Leave the pilot seat by pressing G, walk to the engineering console located at the back of the cabin, and hold E to repair your hull integrity.
- Can I play with a friend?
- Yes, you can connect directly with a friend using the peer panel in the menu. One player creates an offer text, and the other answers it to link your ships.
- What happens if I crash into a planet?
- If your altitude drops below 11 meters while traveling faster than 25 m/s, you will take 25 hull damage per second and lose speed until you climb away.
