Why you might like it

  • You want persistent spaceship progression that is easier to enter than a full economic space simulation.
  • Company conflict and clan activity give PvP-oriented pilots recurring territorial and social goals.
  • Short resource runs and missions can be played solo while larger encounters reward coordinated groups.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • PvP exposure and large equipment differences can make established maps punishing for a poorly prepared pilot.
  • Premium currency, subscriptions and upgrade systems can create a substantial gap between casual and highly invested accounts.
  • The interface and accumulated systems reflect a service that has been expanded for many years.
