WELCOME to Vega Strike, a 3D OpenGL spaceflight simulator for multi-platform play.
Vega Strike allows a player to explore a vastly dynamic universe, where frontiers collide, and you’re just a pilot trying to make ends meet. “How” is your decision. Vega Strike is designed to be a non-linear gaming experience, where you choose the action you want to take.
Vega Strike features a dynamic trading economy, where your character can operate as a merchant. Discover what trade routes bring in the most profit and what commodities make you the most money. Accept cargo missions, and learn to avoid areas of danger (repairs do eat into one’s profits!).
If you tire of making milk-runs (or, just want to try something different), then there are other paths for you to take. Vega Strike features a mission generator, offering many missions to the experienced (and, not so experienced) pilot. Engage in bounty hunts, space patrols, fleet battles and escort missions. Travel the universe and see the farthest reaches of Known Space. Want a walk on the wild side? You can always turn pirate! Just be prepared to accept the consequences...
In Vega Strike, you have the ability to purchase a wide variety of ships, capable of doing many different jobs. Want to haul cargo? Buy a cargo-hauler. Want to fight battles? Buy the latest Confed fighter. Your ship is fully customizable. So, if you’ve got the credit, you can outfit your craft with the right tools for any job.
Vega Strike also provides a universe full of destinations, bases and planets for you to interact with and explore. Interact with base facilities, where you can pick up your next mission, load up on some extra cargo or meet with a contact.
Have a chat with the bartender or view the news broadcasts to find out what’s going on in the universe. There’s a wide world, out there, full of elaborate events. You’ll never know where you may find yourself, when you wake up one morning...
