Attention! The World Government is opening it's launch facilities and resource trades to private enterprises through this exclusive program!
Charter your own ISC, explore the solar system, extract its resources for a profit, and become the biggest ISC in the known Universe.
You'll be sending probes into a vast solar system. Every celestial body you survey is a potential site for your next operation and an advantage over rival ISCs.
ProbesYour bread and butter. You'll deploy satellites, rovers, drills, and depots to build extraction operations that run while you focus on the next operation. This is what keeps the lights on.
IndustrialYou'll own and manage your ships — from the first small transport you can barely afford to a full fleet moving cargo across the system. Every vessel is an asset on your balance sheet or a weapon in your arsenal.
FleetProfits go back into the business. Faster spacecraft, bigger transports, upgraded storage — you decide where to invest and when. The companies that grow fastest are the ones that spend wisely early.
TechOther ISCs are running the same playbook. They'll find the same celestial objects and move into territory you haven't secured. You're a small business in a competitive market.
CompetitionLosing a ship to an accident or a hostile encounter hurts. Insurance exists for a reason. Part of running a sustainable operation is knowing when to protect your assets and when to take calculated risks.
RiskRegister your Independent Space Company through the Mission Control terminal to receive your charter. Your charter grants access to commercial launch facilities, trade infrastructure, and the broader ISC network through the Mission Control terminal.
Purchase (cmd: buy probe) and launch probes (cmd: launch probe) into the unknown. Each mission has a chance of discovering celestial objects for resource operations.
Once a celestial object has been discovered you can deploy the resource extraction infrastructure. Buy satellites (cmd: buy satellite) and launch satellites (cmd: launch satellite [OBJECT]), buy rovers (cmd: buy rover) and launch rovers (cmd: launch rover [OBJECT]), buy drills (cmd: buy drill) and launch drills (cmd: launch drill [OBJECT]), and buy depots (cmd: buy depot) and launch depots (cmd: launch depot [OBJECT]) to establish automated operations that continuously harvest rare materials from celestial objects.
Buy transport spacecraft (cmd: buy transport) and launch transports (cmd: launch transport [OBJECT]) to haul your extracted resources back to the Home planet for sale. Optimize routes, load times, and transit schedules to maximize throughput and grow your company's balance sheet.
Continue completing contracts to unlock more spacecraft - including military spacecraft to defend your fleet.
Reinvest profits into upgrades (cmd: upgrade [SPACECRAFT]) for faster spacecraft, bigger transports, and faster drills. Protect your investments with military spacecraft and insurance (cmd: insure [SPACECRAFT]) while competing to become the biggest ISC in the known Universe.
The World Government has issued charters to multiple independent operators and the solar system, however vast, is a contested frontier. Rival companies will survey the same celestial bodies and you'll have to strategize to survive.
How you respond is up to you. Build a leaner, faster operation. Out-invest them in critical systems. Or deploy military spacecraft to discourage interference and protect your assets.
The World Government has opened it's launch facilities and resource trades to independent enterprise. Charter your Independent Space Company, launch your first probe, and explore the universe for a profit.
