Cosmoteer: Starship Architect & Commander

Cosmoteer: Starship Architect & Commander is a starship-building and tactical combat game. Design each ship’s shape and floor plan, placing modules such as weapons, engines, corridors and crew quarters. Your layout affects how the ship performs in battle, while its crew carries out essential tasks aboard the vessel.

Explore a procedurally generated galaxy, fight AI ships, take faction contracts, collect loot and upgrade your ship, either solo or in online co-op. You can also test your designs in online PvP battles or build freely in Creative Mode with unlimited resources.

Gameplay and features

• Design custom starships: Arrange weapons, engines, corridors and crew quarters across a custom ship shape and floor plan, balancing your layout for the demands of combat.
• Manage an active crew: Individually simulated crew members pilot ships, operate weapons and carry ammunition. Assign roles and job priorities to customize their autonomous behavior.
• Tactical, physics-driven battles: Command a ship or fleet in real time. Target individual modules, disable weapons or shields, attack reactors, and watch damaged ships break apart.
• Explore and upgrade: Travel through a procedurally generated galaxy, battle AI ships, take faction contracts, earn loot and improve your ship, alone or in online co-op.
• Play PvP or build freely: Challenge other players in multiple online PvP modes, or use Creative Mode’s unlimited resources to build without the usual resource constraints.
