CORE GAMEPLAY

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

A hand-crafted engine built from the ground up for performance and depth.

🛸

Modular Ship Builder

Assemble your ship block by block. Add weapons, shields, reactors and thrusters in any configuration. Each module changes how your ship flies and fights — no two ships are alike.

Sandbox
🪐

Orbital Physics

Planets move. Gravity matters. Navigate a living solar system where real orbital mechanics shape every engagement and travel route.

Simulation
⚔️

Deep Combat

Projectile physics, raycast hit detection, energy shields and block-level destruction. Target specific modules to disable engines, weapons or reactors strategically.

Action
💻

Lua Scripting Integration

Write Lua scripts directly on your ship's onboard computer to automate navigation, trading and combat. The true endgame is engineering.

Programming
🌐

Real-Time Multiplayer

A dedicated Go server with ECS architecture and Spatial Partitioning handles hundreds of entities at 60 ticks per second. Play with friends across the galaxy.

Online
🤖

AI Companions & Enemies

Encounter bot pilots with Follow, Orbit, Attack and Hold behavior modes. The galaxy is never empty — there's always someone to fight or flee from.

⟳ In Progress

Colonization & Planet Capture

Colonizer and captor ships that claim empty worlds and seize enemy colonies, shifting the galactic balance of power.
