SHIPBUILDING
A wide selection of modules gives you near countless ways to design your ship. Large armored and shielded dreadnaught class ships may be powerful, but become very slow and especially vulnerable in ion nebulas. A smaller speedy spaceship can kite the enemy and evade most weapons, but will have less firepower. Choose between kinetic weapons, missiles, beams, launching satellites and fighters, or less conventional means of battle like trapping enemies with tractor beams and ion weapons.STRATEGY
The enemies in your path are quite challenging. You can pause the game and identify the weakest points of each enemy.
