Design Philosophy​

  • Space is dangerous - No fully safe zones. Risk everywhere.
  • Everything tradeable - Resources, ships, equipment on player markets.
  • Location matters - Goods don't teleport. Moving stuff = gameplay.
  • Risk = Reward - Higher tier constellations = better resources = more danger.
  • Meaningful loss - Death costs something. This IS the economy.
