===== Game Summary =====

Unending Galaxy is a top down 2D sandbox, simulation and strategy game based in space. The game allows you to play at any level from being a small time pirate to the ruler of a large empire. You can fight, trade, explore, build factories, and amass a fleet to form your own faction and conquer others’. The universe is dynamic and fully simulated, NPC ships live their own lives, factions are able to conquer territories and conduct diplomacy while their economy influences their military production and capacity. Missions are generated based on what’s actually going on in the galaxy, instead of what is usually the other way around.

Unending Galaxy is available for Windows PC. It's a 100% single-player, offline game with no DRM or advertisement.

===== Features =====

====== Dynamic Universe ======

Unending Galaxy features a dynamic and fully simulated universe where the different factions interact in real time through trade, war and diplomacy. Their military production and expansion are tied to their economy in an ecosystem consisting of thousands of NPC ships populating hundreds of sectors. Global chains of events will also periodically shake the galaxy.

====== Diversified Economy ======

The player and the factions controlled by the game gain money not only through the production and trading of items and asteroid mining, but also through piracy, smuggling, bounty hunting, scavenging and even hunting space creatures. Some factions are more focused on some of these methods than others.

Planets host colonies that contribute to the economy and military of their respective owners.

====== Customization ======

Select one of the nine available tech groups and customize your faction with unique abilities, laws and traits. Customize the various maps with different rules, set the initial expansion of the various factions, their starting funds. Set the game's pace and play on one of the five hand-crafted maps or use the procedural generator to play with an unending supply of custom mods.

====== Soundtrack ======

Unending Galaxy features amazing and unique music tracks written by Alexander Jordan alongside other classics.

====== Sandbox Gameplay ======

The game can be played from both the viewpoints of a pilot and of a faction.

As a pilot gain reputation in a sandbox environment by doing missions or saving passengers lost in space. Raid cargo ships or hunt pirates. Peacefully trade medicine or smuggle drugs. Chat with other pilots, buy new ships, build stations, explore strange solar systems. Help or disrupt the AI controlled factions.

As a faction, conquer valuable solar systems and asteroid fields using military fleets built by your shipyards using resources produced by your docks and colonies. Conduct diplomacy, sign treaties or back-stab other empires.

====== Combat ======

Control multiple ships and switch between them at will in real time with active pause.

Featuring over 80 different ships ranging from tiny fighters to large battleships and carriers. Use shields and weapons like lasers beams, homing mines, missiles, particle cannons, plasma launchers. Quickly give orders to your ships through keyboard shortcuts or via mouse on the map (with standard real time strategy game controls) in battles ranging from small skirmishes to large fleet confrontations.

====== Automation ======

In Unending Galaxy, you can micromanage everything yourself or let the various managers handle the tasks needed to run your faction like station/ship building, exploration, trading, or even military operations, so you can focus on the areas that you enjoy the most. Same goes for your ships, give them “fire and forget” jobs like trading, scavenging or asteroid mining and let them make a profit while you are busy doing more important things.

====== Modding Tools ======

The deluxe edition features a complete and fairly easy to use modding toolkit. You can add new or modify existing ships, weapons, stations, and even factions. You can make your own maps or redesign the whole economy. Unending Galaxy also comes with a mod manager which allow to easily toggle your mods on and off.
