Gameplay

Gameplay is comparable to Evochron Renegades, also set in the fictional Evochron sector of space. The gameplay takes a freeform sandbox approach and allows the player to switch from any of the available roles without menu interfaces. Available roles include mining, trading, piracy, exploration, bounty hunting, and military flight. Like in Evochron Renegades, all environments are interactive.

All nebulae can be flown through, with some of the clouds actively disabling or hindering player and AI ship systems. Planets can be descended upon in real-time and used to trade upon. Atmospheric flight differs significantly from space flight, although the controls remain identical. Asteroid fields allow the player to mine and use them as temporary cover during combat.
