ABOUT:

Take a control over a faction & vehicle design deploying units of various sizes, weapons, propulsion systems and electronic warfare capabilities, customize it and survive in fragmented sci-fi galaxy.

Vehicle real time tactics with deep slider based vehicle designer including customizable weapons, components, missiles. 

Realism inspired battle system where vision, accuracy, target size, terrain, weather or electronic warfare can be important in addition to damage and hit points.

Real time battles - (RTS) without base building or units "spawning" during battles. With turn based campaign. 

FEATURES:

Component based vehicle customization

Playable with pre-designed faction units or using custom component based vehicle designer where dragging slider can increase / decrease vehicle size, component size, internal space available.

Unit designer is about selecting a propulsion type (tracks, wheels, rotor, spaceship, building, ...) and then adding components to it that define what the unit is.

Each propulsion has max. supported weight multiplier and each vehicle has hull dimensions - length, width, height that define its internal space available for components and its stats.

Internal components like engines or fuel tanks are not visible and fill up the internal space. They are destroyed when vehicle hitpoints deplete.

External components that cannot be directly covered by armor including fragile radars or wheels or wings. These can be destroyed when physically hit presenting weakspots and making fragmentation and flak ammo useful vs. high armor units.

Vision based warfare

Seeing enemies before they see you is important.

Using EW or sci-fi camouflage fields. Bushes or trees.

Some faction designs carry spotter drones that can be automatically deployed.

When an unit fires its weapons their VisibleAt% and signature is raised increasing the distance that it can be detected.

Units have dynamic radar and emi-heat signatures governing the detection range of enemy sensors.

In practice stealth situations are not common but possible.

Realism inspired balancing

Large vs small units & weapons is a cost-efficiency design choice.

Larger units are easier to be hit. May have larger signatures and thus are easier to be detected. But possibly have more hitpoints, weapons, larger weapons with more range, larger sensors, more armor.

Larger weapons have less damage per second per volume dedicated to weapon as their smaller counterparts while costing more ammo or power to fire. They tend to have larger reload time and range.

Armor is more likely to block smaller weapons because they tend to be lower damage per shot.

AI behaviours for player

Player units can automatically retreat at low hp or ammo, attempt to scout, seek battle, keep range and/or rotation to target.

Non cheating battle AI

AI has exactly the same vision rules as player during battle. It knows player approximate start position the same way as player knows Possible Enemy Location markers.

Campaign in sandbox or survival style

Campaign experience is without goals or quests. There is no win condition.

The single defeat condition is loss of home planet.

Player can decide to establish a space empire including colonization of new planets or/and defence vs. raiders, mercenary organization, or a space mining company.

A typical campaign is about holding stability on owned space colonies while building up vehicle roster and engaging in battles via. missions. Money can be used to purchase nearly everything. But for more effective faction a management of minerals, materials, tactical ops. and similar is required.

Technology is divided into 5 tiers where single technology unlocks multiple components. 

Tier 1 is pre missile age, tier 2 is current era and tier 3 is sci-fi with bubble shields.

Campaign can be customized to not feature faction vs. faction wars or raids or to feature only space, ocean or land battles and relevant vehicle designs.

Basic Logistics

No advanced logistics management is needed but it can be feasible.

In most battles, making sure that the design has enough fuel/power to reach

enemies while having ammo for a few minutes is enough.

Most units need power, fuel, ammoM (0-99mm), ammoX (100-199mm), ammoXL (200+ mm). And there is possibility of supply depots.

But as the battle drags on, situations such as artillery running out of ammo or radar planes turning off their active radars because running out of power can happen.

RTS controls with order modifiers

E.g. R click with Q is rotate instead of move. R is reverse. Ctrl is attack move. Alt to lower aircraft flight altitude. These combinations can be used together.

WORTH MENTION:

NOT a voxel vehicle builder game

Designer allows up to around 50 resizeable "blocks" with custom front/side/... armor to be attached but this is not the focus of this game.

These "blocks" are addition to hull of the design.

Bad pathfinding

Terrain is semi-procedural and its up to the player to determine whether their land units should attempt to climb that hill or not. But beware as flipped vehicles can sometimes get stuck for the rest of battle, auto unflip feature may work for units not in combat. 

Pathfinding around bodies of water is not yet properly implemented.

Simple physics

Not a physics simulator game. Physics are approximated, simple and designed to be low performance.

Demo

Demo is an older version of game that also ends the campaign after 1 and half year in game time.

No music or ambient sounds

Current EA version has no music, ambient sounds or significant interface audio. Audio was low priority in our development plans.
