The spiritual successor to Freelancer with a Lovecraftian, sandbox RPG twist. Explore a vast handmade universe with Day 1 mod support and a planned PvP/co-op multiplayer on the Early Access roadmap. You're going to need a bigger ship.
Hello starchasers! As promised we've got another patch for you this month, right before I take a small break to go off to the Mothman Festival (I made an oath to do so). This is mostly a big pass on all the new content, but I had some time between wrangling my disgusting furry cat animals to give some quality of life stuff.

[h1]UPCOMING FEATURES[/h1]
We're not ready to do a full announcement on our third milestone update JUST yet, but it's coming. Part of that update will include a huge model and cockpit overhaul, giving them full textures alongside working computer screens that are unique for each cockpit(these screens aren't ready yet, but the cockpits textures are!).
