Starship Corporation, now on Steam Early Access, is an amateur starship-builder’s dream come true
Who among us hasn’t dreamed of building his own starship, and traveling the galaxy? You’d have everything you need: a swivel chair with controls right at your fingertips, a big screen TV in front of you, and cool “swoosh” sounds whenever you went through a door. Well, dream no more, because Iceberg Interactive adnd Coronado Games have launched their starship-building simulation title Starship Corporation (PC) into the Steam Early Access program.
In Starship Corporation, you can design and build your dream starship for only $19.99 with a 10% discount during the week of launch on Steam. We’re pretty sure the Enterprise cost a lot more than that.
David Murent, lead developer at Coronado Games, is pretty stoked to have people play the game on Early Access. ”We are excited to reveal our unique game to players all over the world and we are very curious to see what kind of imaginative ship designs and gameplay strategies will unfold from the gaming community,” he says. “We are eagerly looking forward to player feedback to further enhance the development process.”
Starship Corporation lets players become intergalactic manufacturers of their dream spaceships, big or small. Design and build spaceships for a hugely demanding galaxy-wide market. It is you who must decide which technologies to invest in, where to open new offices and where to establish new markets. Every little detail about your ships is up to you, from the interior layout to the location of each elevator, corridor and power line.
Build your reputation by testing the mettle of your ship and crew in a series of real-time strategy missions to simulate emergency or combat situations, push your vessel to its limit and let the competition know just what they are up against. No word yet on whether there is a Holodeck, but hopefully we’ll see that added in at some point.
Current Game features:
- Sandbox Mode with access to the Solar System’s Trade Network and its procedural generation of ship design contracts
- 153 unlockable rooms and facilities for construction
- 23 Missions for standard operation, emergencies as well as hostile encounters to test your ship in Crew Management
- 14 unlockable fuselages
