Management of the ship and its crew is an important aspect of the game – the vessel requires constant refuels, repairs, and modifications to stay competitive, while our crew has to be taken care of, and assigned to various tasks, all while making sure that the individual crew members want to cooperate with each other.

The game offers impressive freedom in choosing your way, so there is a place for advocates of free exploration, as well as for trade enthusiasts, who, thanks to the knowledge of the basic market rules, can easily grow wealthy by trading goods.

During the game, a player assumes the role of a space merchant, who travels through dangerous regions of the galaxy supplying various goods to whoever pays most. The player’s objective is to earn a lot of money - since his vessel is designed for moving merchandise, a direct confrontation with an opponent will end tragically.
This is also why the game does not deliver spectacular battle sequences, and the key aspect of the gameplay is to use the stealthy approach and avoid confrontation with large groups of enemies. In order to succeed, one has to properly manage their energy and resources and make a number of difficult decisions. The players, more than once, have to decide which systems of the vessel are to remain active, and which should be shut down.

The parameters and battle role of the individual ships is determined by the type of the ship (from a maneuverable frigate to a heavy battleship) and the chosen armament.

We are given a small ship and a freedom to do as we please, including a number of available careers, such as mercenary work, exploring, resource acquisition, or trading. The available camera views and control scheme are similar to what we could experience in the famed space simulators, such as Freelancer or Elite: Dangerous. Later parts of the game enable us to amass power and influence necessary to take control of an extensive territory and field military units which can be led in a manner seen in most real-time strategy games.
