Roadmap

Here I show where the game stands. From top to bottom: what has already shipped, what I am building now and what comes next. I do not put dates on it: each part comes out when it is ready.

08 · Community and premium

Up next · 3 items

This phase brings chat between players, reputation and the rules for free accounts and premium. A free account is permanent and lets you try everything. Premium is for those who want to grow bigger. After launch, you will also be able to get premium inside the game, through the premium token that players trade.

  1. Up next · Monetization

    Free forever

    A free account has no time limit and lets you do a bit of everything, with tight limits: at most 3 bases and 2 to 3 open contracts on the offer board. New accounts get no premium trial. Premium comes from buying it, from the token or as a gift from a nation or another player.

  2. Up next · Monetization

    What premium adds

    More bases, production lines, orders and contracts, plus automation and interface comfort. Building your own exchange or station, founding a nation and holding office require premium. There is a single plan, in blocks of 30, 90 or 365 days.

  3. Up next · Monetization

    Expired premium freezes

    When premium runs out, whatever goes beyond the free account's limits freezes until you renew. Nothing is destroyed, and other players can still cancel their orders and collect their goods.

09 · Alpha

On the horizon · 2 items

Testers will play the economy in a universe that will be wiped afterwards. Free accounts and premium already exist at this stage, but the token does not. I will tune the game's balance based on how they play.

  1. On the horizon · Monetization

    Free and premium, no token yet

    Alpha and beta already have both tiers, but no tradeable token. Those who back the game with premium before the Big Bang earn a reward that survives every wipe.

  2. On the horizon · Monetization

    Paying for premium

    Card and Pix, Brazil's instant payment system, are decided. I have not decided yet who processes payments, how renewal works and how prices fit each region.

    Still thinking

14 · Big Bang

On the horizon · 4 items

The permanent universe begins from scratch, with nothing carried over from alpha and beta, and it will never be reset. Economy, nations and war are ready on day one.

  1. On the horizon · Monetization

    The premium token

    With real money you buy premium directly or buy tokens. A token trades on any exchange or contract, for currency or goods, or turns into premium. It is kept in your account, cannot be stolen or destroyed, needs no transport and buys only premium and cosmetics.

  2. On the horizon · Monetization

    Tokens in round numbers

    1,000 tokens are worth 30 days of premium, and activating always costs exactly that. Tokens are whole units, tradeable in any amount, and can price even cheap goods. Bigger packs are only cheaper when bought with real money.

  3. On the horizon · Monetization

    Token safeguards

    A token bought with real money can be activated at once, but it can only be traded after 7 days. New accounts have a purchase limit, and valuable actions require two-step verification.

  4. On the horizon · Monetization

    Cosmetics

    I have not decided yet which cosmetics make sense in a game of panels or whether they can be resold.

    Still thinking

What never changes

  • One server for the whole world.
  • An eternal universe: it never resets.
  • No NPCs: players run everything.
  • Panels, not cockpits: you never fly anything.
  • Continuous real time: the universe never stops.
  • Only humans, a fictional galaxy, the far future.

How this roadmap changes

With every new version I come back and update this page: things move from Up next to In progress and then to Shipped. When I change my mind about something, it changes here too. Whatever is marked Still thinking is something I have not decided yet.

Want in now?

The foundation is already live, and I am building the rest in the open, in front of whoever plays. Download the current version →
