About Synvector
You lost most of your squadron protecting a civilian convoy from the Unnamed. Now all you have left is a handful of ships, unpaid repair bills, and a contract board.
Synvector is a 3D sci-fi Action RPG combining fast-paced third-person space combat, fleet command, and tactical pause. Lead a mercenary squadron on the frontier of civilized space, take contracts, expand your fleet, and fight for survival across the Thorn Arm - a spiral arm of the galaxy where four civilizations compete for resources and influence while the Unnamed threaten them all.
TACTICAL SPACE COMBAT
Real-time fleet battles with tactical pause
Fight across asteroid belts, nebulae, and abandoned stations. Pause the battle, reposition squadrons, assign targets, and coordinate attacks. Pilot your flagship in third-person combat, command your fleet through the Synvector tactical interface, and switch between squadron commanders during battle.
Customize your fleet to match your playstyle
Combine interceptors, bombers, artillery ships, missile platforms, support vessels, and heavy cruisers. Upgrade hulls, engines, shields, and weapons to build a fleet around your own combat doctrine.
RPG & LIVING GALAXY
Captains, crew, and progression
Improve your command skills and recruit captains and officers with unique abilities and combat bonuses.
Build your reputation
Escort convoys, hunt pirates, protect trade routes, explore dangerous systems, and take contracts. Your choices determine who becomes your ally and who becomes your enemy. Discover the cultures, technologies, ships, and political conflicts of four civilizations. Earn their trust, exploit their rivalries, or unite them against a common threat.
Explore the Thorn Arm
Trade routes shift, borders change, and alliances collapse. Four civilizations pursue their own ambitions as the Unnamed advance from the Frontier. Travel from the industrial worlds of the Directorate to the territories of the Shrazi, Kraits, and Deeplines. Every sector holds contracts, discoveries, and dangers.
