Endless Sky is a 2D space trading and combat game inspired by the classic Escape Velocity series. Work your way up from a relatively wimpy shuttle, cargo ship, or fighter, to a highly upgraded and customized flagship or to a massive fleet of warships or freighters. Earn money by carrying passengers or cargo, escorting convoys, bounty hunting, or plundering and capturing enemy ships. Take sides in a civil war, or ignore the storyline and just enjoy exploring the galaxy and blasting pirates.
Endless Sky is a sandbox-style space exploration game similar to Elite, Escape Velocity, or Star Control. You start out as the captain of a tiny space ship and can choose what to do from there. The game includes a major plot line and many minor missions, but you can choose whether you want to play through the plot or strike out on your own as a merchant or bounty hunter or explorer.
The main storyline takes about 8-16 hours to play through. The galaxy contains hundreds of star systems and planets and several alien species with their own unique technologies. You can choose between more than fifty ships and several hundred ship upgrades. A plugin system allows anyone with a text editor and a paint program to create new ships, weapons, or missions, and the galaxy editor can be used to add new star systems and planets.
Endless Sky is free, open source, and cross-platform (Windows, Mac, and Linux). Over time, the game universe has expanded as contributors have added new missions, storylines, alien species, places to explore, sound effects, and artwork.
You start on a meagre planet where only 3 ships are available. This decides how you will work and trade to gain money.
Once you get to grips with the game and trade or mine things will become available to you, such as hundreds of different “outfits” – weapons, engines, power generators, cooling systems, and much more – that you can buy to upgrade your ship. With the tiny ship you start out in, equipping it will always involve tradeoffs: buy better engines, to help you run away from pirates? Or sell all the non-essentials to make room for more cargo? Stock ships tend to be well balanced, but once you start modifying your ship you’ll also have to worry about energy requirements and heat dissipation.
