Going Corporate

Starship Corporation

The sky is no longer the limit. That could be the company motto at Ratakari, the indie dev house responsible for Starship Corporation, which is to offer a rather unique take on intergalactic corporativism, so we made it our business to have you taking stock of it.

 

 

Starship Corporation is a Realtime Strategy Game that contains 4 Elements: Ship design, Ship building, Crew and AI Tactics and Trade.

 

 

The player is able to create the layout for Spaceships and Planetary Installations with multiple decks within the boundaries of existing fuselages. He can choose between (currently) 50 Room types in 6 categories.

 

 

A completed Design can then be challenged by playing a series of missions to test the crews reaction to emergencies and the ships combat capabilities. The success of these missions determines the ships rating, important for a good price on the market or the ships performance in your own fleet.

 

 

 

Its major components shall include:

 

 

 

• a detailed and challenging sandbox mode

• a persistent online universe, where the players create the world

• AND a story/character driven campaign that will supply a thrilling “WHY?” to all the players, who already mastered the “HOW?”

 

 

 

After having been successfully funded in multiple stages through Indiegogo, Starship Corporation is currently in Alpha and looking to make an ambitious entry to the market sometime later this year.

 

 

Our espionage efforts further revealed, though, that it is already possible to experiment with Ship Design prototyping by accessing the Downloads section.

Is that the Aliens' pulse rifle sound? Nice.

 

Sure sounds like it, SV. And, curiously, the voice alerting about the fire reminded me of the voice heard in City 17 (Half Life 2).

Oh, boy, an RTS space game. What a refreshingly new concept.

 

The overview can perhaps be misleadingly simplistic, which is why I encourage everyone to further investigate before passing judgement.

 

Dismiss this as a run-of-the-mill RTS at your own discretion...

Looks promising but - ehmm either they got the spelling wrong or why they are using DX8?

They are obviously not aiming at high end graphics, DX8 must be enough for them.

 

Looks a very interesting game, though the complete rip off the Aliens' pulse rifle annoyed my inner Aliens fanboy.

A scifi simulation game, in which players must design, assemble and test space ships, in a bid to build a supreme Galactic mega-corporation. Gain your reputation by engineering and selling your own spacecraft, testing them to the limit in RTS missions and simulated emergency and combat situations.
