About Starcrest

Starcrest, in its full release, is an open world space game where you can build, pilot, and crew custom physics-driven spacecraft in a persistent online universe. Explore distant worlds, mine and trade for resources, and band together in factions to fight for territorial control. Carve out your empire in an ever evolving infinite online galaxy.

Whether you prefer flying solo as an independent pilot or commanding massive fleets as part of an organized faction, your presence directly influences the balance of power across the stars.

Key Features:

• Modular Ships: Build vessels block by block, from small single-seat fighters to large multi-deck war machines. Mass distribution and thruster placement matter.
• Multi-Crew: Design ships with physical interiors that you can walk freely while in flight. Friends and strangers can join you on board, take a seat, take control, manage systems, or operate turrets during flight and combat.
• Factions & Conquest: Form factions to claim sovereignity over stations and sectors. Battle rival groups, conquer supply routes, and manage logistics.
• Mining & Resource Management: Locate and extract materials from asteroids and planets to craft components, repair hulls, restock on ammo, or supply faction bases.
• Seamless Planets: Travel directly from orbit to planets without loading screens and experience livable atmospheres filled with structures, resources, and life.
• Physics-Based 6DOF Combat: Engage in space and atmospheric dogfights with fully Newtonian physics.
