Our take on Starship Corporation
The detailed construction and corporate management come at the cost of a narrower focus on spacecraft operations. Much of the play centers on planning layouts, selecting investments, and testing vessels instead of direct character action.
What is Starship Corporation?
Design and assemble spacecraft for a galaxy-wide market, choosing hulls and placing interiors such as bridges, engines, generators, crew quarters, corridors, and hatches.
Ship layout affects efficiency, price, and deep-space performance. Expand by selecting technologies, opening shipyards, entering markets, and choosing profitable star systems and business relationships. Sandbox mode covers human settlements and ship work in transport, mining, route maintenance, security, military, research, and racing. The campaign contains 99 contracts and two endings tied to business partnerships. Crew-management missions test ships during standard operations, emergencies, asteroid clearing, resource mining, pirate hunting, trading, and other hostile encounters.
