One universe. Every pilot
online.

You know this universe. Now you share it. Other pilots trade on your routes, fight in your sectors and declare war on your race, and the galaxy keeps running when you log off.

// Multiplayer

Same universe. New rules.

Your flight hours still count: ships, wares, routes and sector names are the ones you know. What changes is that you are no longer the only player in it.

No saves. No reloads.

The server holds the world. A lost ship stays lost and a bad trade stays bad. Log off and your fleet keeps flying its orders, and anyone can still find it, so think about where you park.

  • Persistent world
  • Offline orders
  • No pause

A race of your own

Every player is a race. Offer an alliance, declare war, make peace. Your ships and stations follow your diplomacy.

One shared market

Thousands of server traders and every player feed the same station stocks. One stock exchange for everyone.

Personal SETA

SETA speeds up your ship, not the universe. Everybody else keeps flying in real time.

Raids for everyone

Xenon fleets and Kha'ak clusters hit random sectors. Whoever is online shows up, or doesn't.

Missions as a team

Fight missions belong to your race. Every member's kills count toward them, so bring friends.

Hail other pilots

Open a channel to a player's ship: talk, hand over wares or credits, swap maps, demand a surrender.

Unmasked for everyone

Pirate traders fly a borrowed flag. Once the police catch one, every pilot sees it for what it is.

Your fleet from a browser

The server's live map shows every sector. Log in with your character and give your ships orders away from the game.

// Live map

See who's out there

The server's own map: every sector, every ship and every pilot online, live. Open a sector, or log in with your character to command your fleet.

The live map opens with the server

This is where the universe shows up once it runs.

Frequently asked

What happens to my ships when I log off?

They stay in the universe. Your ships keep their orders, and the ship you flew finishes its autopilot order and waits. Other pilots and NPCs can still attack them, so park somewhere safe.

Can I play on Linux?

Yes. The Linux client runs on the native Linux version of the game from Steam, no Wine or Proton needed, and plays on the same servers as Windows players.
