Recreated from scratch: a 64-bit C++ engine with its own Vulkan render engine. Ray-traced shadows, reflections and global illumination, real dynamic station, ship and weapon lights, volumetric nebulae, planetary atmospheres, DLSS, FSR 3.1, Reflex. In public testing now.
Our own multithreaded server core replaces flserver.exe: every star system runs in parallel, the server checks money, cargo and hits. NPC traffic, patrols, cargo scans and minefields true to the original, AI tunable harder.
Every trade moves the price at that base, prices recover over time, trader bots and couriers move the market too. Live prices in the dealer window, trade missions from real price differences.
An account bank shared by all your characters, depots on any base, the player-run Galactic Market and the Commodity Market – in game, in the launcher, in the browser and on your phone.
Craft missiles, Nomad and Codename weapons from depot materials – or research a brand-new weapon with your own name. New items go live for everyone without a patch.
Unstable jump holes open into generated systems no map shows. Fly through first, name it, earn the discoverer's reward – then claim it and build platforms and stations.
Real asteroid mining in minable fields – or buy mining, trade and escort drones that work for you while you are offline.
Server bots as traders, pirates, pirate hunters and mission runners keep every core system alive. World bosses fly the strongest ships of their side.
Race tracks with laps, countdown and best times – tune your ship for speed instead of combat.
XP for kills, anomalies and discoveries, skills for trading, combat rewards and the waypoint autopilot. Put a price on a player's head.
