This is a story about space, and the people in it, and the things that don’t change whichever empire, millennium, or star system you find yourself in, and the things that make change, wherever they find themselves.
This is a game about flow, speed, control, and critically, release. Race for speed, flow, or the simple joy of it. Mine the ‘troids for Mineral ores, Synthetic salvage, and Organic whatzits. See a Viathan one day. Beat the Crabbers off your stash, and get through another day. Maybe you’ll find some Tether. Maybe you’ll run dark, and find out that Welldrives are for more uh, informal trade routes. Maybe you’ll find so meaning weaving a path from your own star to others.
Controls#
Main engine: Left stick, or mouse input.
Maneuvering thrusters: Right stick, or WASD
Welldrive: Tuck in to gravity, or lean out with left / right shoulder buttons, or ctrl / space.
Boost: 1s min, 10s cooldown, real slow regen, multiplies all your thrust.
Use all three thrusts and your boost together with a dive toward the well centre, and lean out as you pass the well centre to gain maximum speed, and chain your moves across wells. You can win on speed, on efficiency (flow), gathering (pickups), or even just raw speed or G forces. Earn Sol with your record breaking, and beat your last times, session times, and all time records.
After some wellrunning, you can try mining the troids, by coming up close, matching speed, and then using the right trigger to deploy a mine. Once armed, you’ll need to back off again, and hold the trigger to detonate the mine. You should be rewarded by some sweet slag, a little fuel stimmy, and some sweet sol bucks (more when you sell your cargo!)
