The idea
What if the game had taken a different path?
Instead of pay-to-win, horizontal progression: new roles, ships and things to do rather than ever bigger numbers. Content that fits cleanly into the game and makes you want more. Rewards for playing, not for your credit card.
No pay-to-winNo cash shop and no paid shortcuts. Every ship and item can be earned in play.
No passes, no FOMONo battle passes, login streaks or limited shops. Events come back.
Upgrades without gamblingUpgrades are expensive but certain. Boxes have published reward tables.
Browser client
Play in any browser, on PC or phone
No Flash and no launcher. We rebuilt the original 3D client for modern browsers. Log in on your PC or on your phone, it's the same pilot.
- Touch controls on phones and tablets
- If your connection drops, your ship stays in space while the client reconnects
Client technology
Unlimited FPS, new effects, reworked visuals
We didn't stop at a copy of the old client. The frame rate has no cap, ships wear HD textures, and reworked lighting, bloom and particles make flying and fighting feel much smoother.
- No FPS cap, or set your own limit
- New effects for shield hits, gate jumps, engine trails and drones that lean into turns
- HD ship textures and HD backgrounds
- A Performance preset for older PCs, and the Original look for anyone who wants it exactly as it was
Living universe
AI pilots fly the company maps
They hunt aliens, mine, haul ore home and run for a safe zone when a fight goes wrong. Guards sit at the stations and patrols check the gates. Now and then a rival company sends raiders into your maps.
- Their miners and trade drones carry real cargo and drop most of it when shot down
- Attack a company ship and it calls for help. Reinforcements come through the gates
Companies
Factions that matter
Your company decides where you're safe and who comes after you. Each of the three keeps its own reputation score for you, so you can be welcome with one and hunted by another.
Mars Mining Operations Starts with a better laser, plus damage and mining boosters. 
Earth Industries Corporation Starts with a better shield, plus shield and honor boosters. 
Venus Resources Unlimited Starts with a repair bot, plus experience and resource boosters. - Reputation from Hated to Esteemed, with each company separately
- Good standing gets you discounts and your company's own Goliath
- Military ranks are back, ranked within your company
- Clans only take pilots of one company, so no single clan can run the whole server
Ships
Each hull has its own role
Smuggling, express cargo, healing, scouting, defending your home maps: cheaper ships stay useful. Every hull also keeps its own prestige, name and service record.
Equipment
New powerful weapons
Next to the original equipment you'll find new lasers, shields and launchers, up to the Hellstorm Launcher 4.
- LF-4 variants made for fighting pilots or aliens
- Scatter Lasers with Overdrive and Spectral Lancers
- Fusion Shields and the SG3N-B03
Fracture mining
Mining is a skill game
Bigger rocks have to be cracked. You hold the laser's power in the green band. Push too hard and the rock blows up, taking most of the ore and a chunk of your hull with it. A clean break pays best.
- Raw Uridium asteroids are rare. The server announces where they show up, and the payout goes straight to your account
- Storage bays at your home base, and a refinery that keeps running while you're offline
Salvaging
Strip wrecks for parts
Destroyed ships sometimes leave a wreck behind. Scan it, strip the plating, cut it along the seams and vacuum up the pieces. Scrap and electronics sell for Credits or become components for equipment upgrades.
- Wrecks come from aliens, from players and from old hulls drifting on the maps
Freight
Contracts, freight drones and smuggling
Service docks post fresh contracts all the time. Longer and riskier routes pay more. You can also send freight drones through the portals, but they fly in the open and other pilots can shoot them down.
Pay per route
1 jump
2 jumps or more
Enemy map
PvP map
Enemy base
Fast couriers also get express runs, and Yamato pilots get smuggling runs.

Hangar, prestige and ship effects
