Our take on Frontier Pilot Simulator
The focus on cargo piloting, trading, and ship upgrades leaves less room for a fixed, tightly scripted story. Because the world and narrative change with player activity, the experience gives up some predictability in favor of an evolving frontier setting.
What is Frontier Pilot Simulator?
Frontier Pilot Simulator is a science-fiction cargo flight game set on an alien planet.
Players start with a small ship and a few credits, then earn skill and wealth through missions, trading, exploration, combat, and smuggling. Free flight takes place within a real-time economy, while weather and flight dynamics affect piloting. The game features three transport craft: the light Scarab, middle OX, and heavy Ballena. Each can be upgraded, with hundreds of upgrades available per ship. Player actions also affect the connected game world: bases can be built or destroyed, and the planet and its narrative change over time. The central activity is piloting customizable VTOL craft in a changing frontier setting.
