A sprawling space sandbox where you build and command ships, trade across a fractured galaxy, and fight alien threats at your own pace.

What players say

Players praise the ship building and sandbox freedom, often sinking hundreds of hours into building fleets and stations. However, many find the early game unintuitive, the tutorial broken, and dedicated server setup a nightmare, while others note the galaxy feels wide but shallow outside of ship customization.
