Space Traders

You are a free space trader with a ship, a few credits and a whole galaxy ahead. Where to fly, what to carry and whom to fight is up to you.

TRADE ACROSS THE STARS
Every planet has its own market: farm worlds sell cheap food, industrial worlds sell machinery, resorts pay for luxury. Every deal moves the price, and markets recover over time. Buy low, haul it where it sells high and watch your profit right in the sell window.

FLY THROUGH LIVING SYSTEMS
Planets move along their orbits, so routes change over time. Jump between stars along the lanes, plan your fuel and discover new systems.

MINE RESOURCES
Place drills on the deposits of uninhabited planets and storages next to them. Neighbouring drills boost each other and upgrades raise the output. Your network keeps working while you are away.

FIGHT SPACE PIRATES
Pirates wait on interstellar jumps. Fight, flee or pay them off: the battle plays out by itself, and your weapons, shields and hull decide it. Missiles, explosions and loot included.

TAKE ON CONTRACTS
Cargo deliveries, planet surveys, pirate hunts, resource supplies and rescues of crews sending a distress signal.

HIRE MERCENARIES
Mercenaries collect the output of your networks across the galaxy and bring it to the warehouse of a planet of your choice.

FREE THE GALAXY
A war rages at the edge of the galaxy: invaders are seizing systems. Upgrade your ship up to Mk10, storm captured systems in three-wave assaults and win them back.

FEATURES
- A free-form sandbox: trading, mining, combat and exploration
- Planets on real orbits and a galaxy of 18 star systems
- Ship modules and equipment up to Mk10
- Five contract types and mercenaries
- Mining and mercenaries keep working offline

Fire up the engines, captain!
