Stardrive description

StarDrive is a space strategy game in which you begin with one planet and a small fleet, then expand into the galaxy by conquering worlds and establishing colonies. The central objective is to grow your empire and protect it from rivals. You can pursue that goal through diplomacy or force, alongside trade, espionage and research.

You can choose from eight alien races or design a race of your own. The game also includes random events, remnants, hidden treasures, deep-space threats and dangers that emerge later in the game.

Gameplay and features

Design and command ships: Build custom ships by arranging modular components, whose composition and placement affect performance. During battles, rotate a damaged ship to present its other side, use a friendly capital ship’s shields for cover, or warp in and out of combat.
Develop colonies and technology: Colonize planets, terraform and populate them, and develop them as trade or industrial centers. Research technologies to improve military and industrial capabilities.
Choose how to control fleets: Issue ships classic real-time strategy commands or take direct arcade-style control of a ship. You can also create fleet formations and set their rules of engagement.
Use espionage and ground forces: An agent-based espionage system lets you steal technologies, incite rebellions and rob opponents. For planetary assaults, deploy ground troops from orbit to overcome the remaining defenses.

Frequently asked questions

What is the main objective in StarDrive?

Expand your empire from an initial planet and small fleet by conquering worlds and founding colonies, while defending against rivals. Diplomacy, force, trade, espionage and research are among the ways to pursue galactic domination.

How does ship design affect combat?

Ships use modular designs, and the composition and placement of modules affect their performance. In battle, you can rotate a ship to expose a less-damaged side, take cover behind a friendly capital ship’s shields, or warp in and out of the fight.

Can I control ships directly?

Yes. You can command ships using classic real-time strategy controls or take direct arcade-style control of a ship in your empire. Fleet formations and rules of engagement can also be set.

What can I do with colonies?

Colonize planets, terraform and populate them, then develop them into specialized trade or industrial centers. Research technologies to improve your military and industrial capabilities.

How can I attack enemy planets?

Deploy ground troops from orbit to defeat the planet’s remaining defenses. Espionage offers another way to undermine opponents, including stealing technologies and inciting rebellions.
