You can play toward several fantasies at once: a lone explorer charting forgotten worlds, a wealthy trader working the marketplace, an industrial tycoon automating production, or the leader of a powerful Corporation.667788Core Pillars991010PillarSummaryExploration and FTL TravelPilot a ship in real time through thousands of star systems, moving seamlessly from deep space to planet surfaces and jumping across the galaxy with Faster-Than-Light technology.Mining and ResourcesScan systems and planets, then use tools and your ship to extract raw materials from planets, asteroids, and abandoned structures.CraftingTurn raw materials into valuable refined materials, components, and ship parts.Ship BuildingAssemble crafted parts into custom ships, from small nimble vessels to heavy transport cruisers, with every component affecting performance.BlueprintsBuy ready-made ship designs from other players to build instantly, or sell your own perfected designs.Trading and the Player-Driven EconomyBuy and sell resources, ship parts, and blueprints in a marketplace where every transaction affects prices.Corporations and Co-OpCreate or join Corporations, assign roles, and collaborate from small crews to vast commercial empires.Base BuildingBuild and expand planetary bases, transforming outposts into fully automated resource hubs.Automation and LogisticsUse drones and cargo ships to automate mining, interplanetary logistics, and supply chains.11111212A Galaxy Shaped by Players13131414SpaceCraft is built around a shared, persistent universe made up of 20 sectors at the Early Access launch, with hundreds of star systems and thousands of planets.
