Hi everyone, this is part 1 of 2 video updates we’ve put together quickly. A handful of short videos to give you all a better feel for the game. They are shot from close to the starting position of a new game/new players.

Please note also that the gameplay showcased in these videos is a work in progress, particularly in terms of the design implementation e.g. ship lighting and thruster effects, planet management screens etc. The galaxy used is also relatively tiny!

We’ll bring you the 2nd video post in a few days. In the meantime please feel free to let us know what you think in the comments below.

Planetary System & Management Screens

• FOG of war turned off to expose galaxy star map
• Mine construction ordered
• Ship selected for construction and queued
• Resources transferred to ship in planetary orbit before sending the ship to colonise nearby planet

It’s been a while since we posted up to date in-game screenshots. This series takes you from a high-level strategic view all the way down to ship-level!

High-level Strategic View

The circular outlines that cover the screen here represent radar coverage of both the player’s ships and planets. The straight lines represent the movement trajectory of a player controlled ship.

From this position you can select a ship/fleet and set their orders. In this image you can see it would take the selected ship 10 hours and 34 minutes to travel between the 2 points.

We are proud to announce the Viper Class Conveyor. This ship class is available as an exclusive reward for those signed up to the Beta and participating in Call To Arms!
