Welcome to the official website of SpaceSim!
SpaceSim is a space simulation massively-multiplayer online role-playing game (mmorpg). SpaceSim offers a great degree of freedom, as players can choose to play as a mercenary, trader, military grunt, corporate leader, or anything in-between. SpaceSim is currently in beta, and only for Windows. The rich 3d universe contains natural objects like planets, stars, nebulas, asteroid belts, comets, and black holes, and a wide range of man-made objects like gigantic space stations, battle cruisers, cargo ships, and fighter ships large and small. SpaceSim features never before seen concepts in resource management that will provide a complex but fun resource system without unnecessary control overhead. Every player will have resources to manage, from a pilot managing his fuel, shields, weapons, and thrusters, to the leader of a planet managing populations and armies. We currently have a free beta demo showing off some basic gameplay, but check back frequently as we’re adding new features all the time. So far you can engage in combat with other people who are online, dock with a space station to buy or sell fuel, system upgrades, and ships, and warp to any of the one hundred star systems in the game, all in a persistent universe with a persistent account. Questions? Comments? Interested in helping out? Post on our forum or e-mail me at Black_Moons at hotmail dot com. We’ll see you in space! |
