About This Game

Humanity is long gone, but their machines never stopped.  For centuries automated factories have continued cranking out goods, orders have kept piling up, but who is left to deliver the freight?  That's right, you, the galaxy’s most qualified (due to being perhaps the only remaining) robot space trucker.  Just because humans are gone doesn’t mean the job is done.  

You’ve been rebooted after many dormant centuries from a long, accidental slumber by the B-Meson corporation to finish the job the humans left behind.  Fill freight contracts, buy and sell cargo, deliver packages, maintain and upgrade your ship with cutting-edge three-hundred-year-old technology, dodge asteroid belts and keep those rocket burners hot!  The galaxy may have died out, but commerce never stops.

Key Features:

Long-distance inner-system travel:  Though you hyperjump between star systems, once you’re in-system, there are no shortcuts.  You’ll have to manually navigate millions and sometimes billions of miles across the solar system from station to station, managing your fuel and delta-v as you cross the vast distances so you can arrive on time and without burning out the inertial damping.  Maneuver your ship with simplified-Newtonian-dynamics-based flight controls, both with and without inertial damping, which are easy to learn but hard to master.  

Repairs and upgrades: Piloting a three hundred year old ship through the cosmos can lead to some wear and tear.  You'll have to patch fuel leaks, find repair docks, and keep your ship in shape.  But be sure to save some capital for upgrades!  Buy bigger cargo holds, extra thrusters, better damping, asteroid defense guns, and more, heck, throw in a cup holder while you’re at it (cup holders subject to availability).

Commerce and trade: With freight contracts to fulfill and goods to buy and sell, you'll be on the lookout for the best prices across multiple systems while making sure you don't run out of fuel mid-haul.  Every system has a few marketplaces, but reaching them is expensive.  Mid-system refueling can be found, if you're lucky, but is time consuming and costs a small fortune.  Be sure to plan carefully and don't waste all your fuel before the deceleration burn.

Post-Human Space Truckin’ Exploration: The humans may have vanished, but their shipping deadlines haven’t.  It’s up to you to keep the galaxy’s economy (barely) running.  From derelict stations to forgotten space junk, explore the remnants of humanity’s past to learn just what killed them, or did they kill themselves? ... just try not to crash into anything along the way!

So, grab your wrench, load up your ship, slap on some shiny new upgrades, and hit the cosmic highways.  Whether you're hauling oversized freight through asteroid belts or dodging debris from long-gone space battles, there’s always a delivery that needs to be there yesterday.  See you in the loading dock, space trucker.
