  • Single-player combination of top down 2D spaceflight and strategic manipulation of your network of contacts
  • No ship given to you at game start: you must take a loan and hire a ship, or borrow one from a wealthy relative
  • Run missions using your family and friends' connections to government or business
  • Research information on other characters through chatting to friends and relatives
  • Customise your ship with lasers, passenger quarters, bolt weapons, and missiles
  • Blackmail others with the information you find, or sell it to the press
  • Procedural generation of a whole society of thousands of random characters
  • Start every new game from your character's birth
  • Choose your parents and all your major life choices as you grow up
  • Your choices determine your personality and your friends, relatives and enemies
  • Full modding support: change all the organisations, events, weapons, planets, ships, conversations and tutorial system.
  • Windows, Mac and Linux at launch
