Overview

RTS‑lite in space: mine resources, expand bases, and assemble fleets to defend and conquer neighboring sectors.

How to Play

  • Build extractors and generators first to stabilize economy.
  • Produce a balanced fleet (fighters, frigates, capital ships) and defend chokepoints.
  • Capture adjacent nodes to unlock upgrades and map control.

Controls

  • Mouse to select/build; hotkeys for production and camera vary by host.

Tips

  • Queue ships in batches; constant production beats idle docks.
  • Scout before pushing; avoid overextending into multiple waves.
  • Focus fire on glass‑cannon threats, then clean up.

FAQ

  • Q: How do I get more resources quickly?
    A: Expand to nearby nodes and protect extractors; idle miners waste income.
  • Q: What fleet composition works best?
    A: Mix fast interceptors with heavier ships for structure damage.
  • Q: Is there a tech tree in the game?
    A: Many hosts gate stronger ships behind captured sectors or upgrades.
