Why you might like it

  • Real-time space combat and ship-building set it apart from the many turn-based or tick-based browser space strategy games.
  • Solo exploration, mining and trading are all viable alongside alliance-based cooperative and PvP play.
  • Built and maintained by a single dedicated indie developer with a track record of prior browser MMOs (Golemizer).
Before you play

Things to consider

  • Current server and player-population status could not be independently confirmed at time of writing.
  • As a small indie project, content updates and population have historically depended on a single developer's bandwidth.
  • No player avatar or planetary exploration is included — all gameplay takes place from the cockpit of a ship.
