A deeply realistic, technically demanding sandbox where every ship design and orbital maneuver is grounded in real physics, rewarding careful planning over fast reflexes.

What players say
Players love the hard sci-fi realism and detailed orbital mechanics, but warn the game has had no updates since 2018 and is effectively dead. It has a steep learning curve and is best for engineers and space nerds.
