Space Nation: Everything You Need to Know to Become a Starship Captain

TL;DR

You are the captain of a spaceship, awakened from hibernation by the Parousians, descendants of the human race. As you take refuge among them, you soon realize that the shadow of war is descending upon all sentient life, threatening to plunge civilization into oblivion. 

Empty vessels (ghost ships) have also been seen floating through space seemingly without apparent explanation. Others exchange worried whispers about these strange occurrences and what fate awaits them if they too fall prey to such unknown dangers.

But not you. You’re a fighter, builder, and survivor – a captain. You hunger for adventure, for challenge, for glory, so you climb into your warship and take off into the far reaches of space. 

In this vast system of stars and planets, you are humanity’s final hope. 

Battlegrounds beyond the stars

Battleship from SpaceNation

As a captain in Space Nation, you'll navigate the complex relationships between three major factions: the Ayers, the Research League, and the Saints of the New Dawn. Each faction offers unique missions and tasks, requiring you to adapt to their different approaches and priorities. 

Your success depends on your ability to navigate these complex relationships and emerge victorious in the face of a dark, looming threat.

The game map includes several planets and surrounding space within a 100,000-kilometer radius, filled with points of interest. Warp drives are essential for traversing the vast distances between Cluster Galaxies, Stellar Systems, and Planetary Systems.

As you explore the vast expanse of space, in ships ranging from 30-meter single-player warships to massive 20KM Galaxy Motherships, you'll uncover the secrets of ancient space ruins, salvage wreckage for valuable resources, and discover untold riches in uncharted territories.

The universe of Space Nation is filled with countless life forms, from honorable traders to shady dealers.  You'll encounter these beings in intense battles, lucrative trades, and even have the opportunity to recruit them as part of your crew. 

As you navigate the complex political landscape of Space Nation, forging alliances with powerful guilds and factions, remember that your success as a captain depends on your ability to adapt, strategize, and make the most of the game's economic opportunities. With the right combination of skill, resourcefulness, and entrepreneurial spirit, you can rise through the ranks and become a true legend in this massive, player-driven universe.

"Our Vision for Space Nation Online is to build a living, breathing space universe where people with different purposes can live, fight, socialize, and be proud of their accomplishments!"

- Jerome Wu, CEO of Space Nation

A captain’s life

Spacenation characters

Unlike traditional games where your progress and assets are locked within the confines of the game, Space Nation leverages the power of blockchain, NFTs, and tokens to give you true ownership over your ships, equipment, and other valuable items. This means that the time and effort you invest in the game have real value, and you can trade or sell your assets to other players in a secure and transparent manner using Immutable Passport and Checkout.

But with great power comes great responsibility. 

As a starship captain, you must also manage the upkeep and maintenance of your fleet. Repairs, upgrades, and crew salaries all require a steady flow of income. Miners can obtain ships, mine minerals with laser cutters, and sell them for the CHR currency. Fighters earn rewards through tasks, farming, instances, guild wars, and tournaments. Explorers sell information and treasure maps, while Arms Dealers provide liquidity as commodity traders.

Through mining, production, and trading, you can acquire valuable resources and craft powerful equipment to sell in the marketplace. Your tokens not only allow you to purchase better ships and gear but also grant you a stake in the game's governance and future development.
