This space MMO has a set with a universe that constantly expanding and is fully destructible. This universe combines both vertex and voxel technology to create an environment that can simulate real-world physics. This means there will be collisions in the game that can totally wreck your ship or destroy just some part of it, depending on how fast you are traveling.

The game requires some sort of creativity as it is centered on exploring intergalactic wreckage, meteors, and other materials to design and build your spaceship and stations. The game also allows player interaction in different ways. Players can trade among themselves, build together and engage in combat. There is a sandbox mode that allows the player to explore alone. You can also choose a group of friends in your universe to explore together. The game is developed and published by Frozenbyte.
