Starminer

It's up to us how our fleet will ultimately look like. We can opt for a single powerful vessel or a large number of smaller ships. Regardless, ships are created from scratch, as we choose their purpose (mining, defense, energy production) and select specific modules (ranging from solar panels, through residential, engineering and mining quarters, to defense and movement systems). When designing ships, we must keep an eye on their power, carrying capacity and size, as to not make an unusuable ship by accident.

One should not forget space is extremely dangerous. Movement itself can harm us, especially if we need to traverse massive asteroid fields. There are also hostile aliens around, drawn to our fleet's heat signature. When confronted by them, we must directly control our defense systems to fight them off. To succeed and gain an advantage over our foes, we must make sure our fleet's defensive capabilities are always up to snuff.

Technical aspects

Starminer features visuals of very high quality. The ships are particularly appealing, detailed down to every subsystem. The game also features an advanced, Newtonian physics system.
