Our take on Vectored Armada
The listing foregrounds large automated battles and dramatic ship destruction, but the central activity is preparation: constructing vessels, balancing energy and budgets, and configuring behavior. Combat is observational rather than command-driven, so the action framing may set expectations that the player will control ships directly.
What is Vectored Armada?
Design autonomous battleships from individually destructible blocks, arranging components through a gridless port system in orderly or irregular layouts.
Choose from rectangular, triangular, hexagonal, and Penrose-style block shapes, then fit weapons, engines, and energy-using systems to each vessel. Structural integrity, movement physics, and available energy affect ship construction. Assemble fleets within a budget, set formations, and configure behavior before sending them into automated battles. The single-player campaign presents escalating challenge battles against premade fleets. A limited asynchronous multiplayer feature allows fleets to be shared and imported for battles against other players' designs. During combat, the player acts as an architect rather than a direct commander.
