Two games, one seamless galaxy

• Command from above, then drop into the fight. Run a top-down real-time-strategy battle, then take direct control of any single ship in first-person or third-person — without loading screens or leaving the action.
• One continuous world. The fleet you command and the ship you fly are the same units in the same galaxy — every order, kill, and credit carries across both views.

A vast, living, instanced galaxy

• Per-system instances in the spirit of the great space sims — sectors and star systems you warp, supercruise and jump between.
• Layered zones from safe core space to lawless null-sec and the deep void — risk and reward scale the further out you push.
• Procedurally generated systems so the map keeps its scale and surprise, with handcrafted visuals — nebulae, suns and planets — at every stop.
• Things to actually do out there: exploration, scanning, salvage, anomalies and mining.

Real fleet command & control

• Class-aware formations that hold their shape — capitals anchor the rear, fighters screen the front — with adjustable fleet spacing.
• Fleet stances — Aggressive, Defensive, Patrol and Hold — so your wings behave exactly how you want when you’re not micromanaging them.
• Pro RTS controls: control groups (1–9), screen-edge panning, free fly-in/fly-out camera, one-key recall to your command ship, and clear move/attack order markers.
• Readable battlefield with configurable ship status markers and a strategic camera that tracks the action.

Cockpit flight that feels real

• Reticle flight in the spirit of Elite — set-and-forget cruise, boost, and station-keeping to hold position in a brawl.
• Feel every maneuver: banking into turns, speed-and-boost field-of-view, and a weighty third-person chase camera with collision so it never clips through your hull.
• Combat assists — target lock and cycling, plus lead-aim assist so fast dogfights stay winnable.

Design and build your fleet

• Modular ship designer with snap-in part logic — build custom hulls from components, then fly what you designed.
• A full class ladder of premade ships: fighters, interceptors, bombers, corvettes, frigates, destroyers, cruisers, carriers and battleships — each with its own role, strengths and price.
• Your Arkship — a powerful command ship and mobile shipyard with multiple variants and a fighter bay, rebuildable if it ever falls.

Combat with real depth

• Layered defenses: shields, armor and hull, with class-based evasion so nimble strike craft genuinely dodge while capitals soak punishment.
• A real arsenal: projectile and beam weapons, class-scaled auto-turrets, lock-on missiles and heavy torpedoes.
• Point-defense systems with limited magazines and reloads that intercept incoming ordnance — and countermeasures like flares and chaff to beat the missiles aimed at you.
• Doctrine research lets you specialize how your fleet fights.

Economy & empire-building

• Build and run stations — trading hubs, mining outposts and military bases — with their own economy.
• Construction & build queues turn credits into fleets and infrastructure.
• Idle fleets earn for you — dispatch ships on jobs for passive income while you’re off doing something else.

Reputation, crime & bounties

• Actions have consequences: kill rewards, wanted levels for unlawful kills, and bounty contracts to chase.
• Faction diplomacy — mark allies as friendly, turn rivals hostile, and even hire mercenaries to fight for you.
• Forge your own faction and carve out your corner of the galaxy.

Progression that sticks

• Level up with XP, achievements, and a live player-stat system that tracks your rise.
• Research trees unlock new doctrines and capabilities over time.
• Live mission boards & alerts keep the galaxy giving you something to chase.

Multiplayer & community

• Co-op in a shared galaxy, plus Versus Team Control — teams fight over a field of capturable points and rival headquarters.
• Squads & friend groups with invites and in-game chat.
• Drop protection — your slot is held so you can reconnect after a disconnect.
• Self-hosting — run your own server (official or community), with dedicated-server tooling and an admin/moderation panel.
• Leaderboards to prove who runs the galaxy.

Modes & total control

• Play it your way: Sandbox, Conquest, Domination, Wave Survival, Last Fleet Standing, Shared Campaign and Versus.
• Built for the hardcore: fully custom keybinds, custom factions, and custom ship designs.

Cinematic presentation

• Modern post-processing — bloom, anti-aliasing and colour grading for a clean, cinematic look.
• Custom space shaders — rich nebulae and planet atmospheres make every system its own place.
• Effects with impact — engine trails, weapon fire, shield hits, explosions and warp.
• Immersive audio across UI, weapons, engines and explosions.

Navigate & stay aware

• Full galaxy map & minimap to plot routes and read the battlefield at a glance.
• Live intel feed keeps you on top of faction activity and threats across the galaxy.
• Campaign saves that carry your progress safely across updates.
