Developer: Community

A multiplayer space video game that is open source and runs on many platforms. Although its 2D graphics have improved over time, they still resemble the style of Thrust. Gameplay includes Capture the Flag, base defence, racing and deathmatches.
This uses a client-server architecture, in which a central meta server receives information from all XPilot servers on the Internet.

The meta server contains a list of all maps on the Internet.
These maps, created by users, feature several types of gameplay.
In deathmatches, points are earned by destroying other players or robots.
Users can increase their firepower by picking up items such as missiles, mines and lasers.
Players can also defend themselves by gathering cloaks, shields, ECMs and armour. In racing maps, players earn points based on their finishing position.
The objective of team games is to “destroy” the opponent’s ball by placing it in the treasure chest. Team games may also be run in a slightly different Capture the flag mode.
Other modes exist, like trying to survive as long as possible surrounded by cannons, by dodging the bullets, or combinations of different modes.
