Gameplay
Gameplay revolves around exploring the procedurally generated world. Every time a player enters a new game they'll be presented with a different set of goals and will get to experience a new set of maps. This "world" is a collection of solar systems threaded together with planets, asteroids, military bases, and other points of interested planted about for players to explore.
When a player arrives to a new destination, a dialogue prompt will appear and detail a scenario that is occurring. Scenarios can involve myriad things; such as combat, taking part in surveys, assisting distressed ships, mining, and gathering quests.
Gameplay primarily revolves around management of a ship's systems and crew. Each ship has a set of systems that need to be maintained in order to survive a battle. Combat is in real-time but weapon abilities and battle data are limited by cooldowns. During fights, various parts of the player's ship can take damage and will need to be repaired. Numerous emergencies can occur aboard the ship, including fires breaking out and life systems malfunctioning.
