Solar Crusaders Windows, Mac, Linux, Web game

As you guide your fleet through each solar system, you'll explore features such as stars, moons, planets, asteroids, and singularities; optionally colonizing strategic locations as you see fit.

Unlike similar games in this genre, Solar Crusaders utilizes an advanced agents system to populate the game universe with persistent computer controlled pirates, merchants, traders, smugglers, and more. The game will never feel empty or barren, because the computer will move into empty sectors.

Once an agent is destroyed, it permanently ceases to exist, and a new agent will be created unless you move in to take its place.

Colonization will allow you to create items in the game, which will range in quality based on your manufacturing facilities and proper composition of resources. Anything from small sensor augments, to full ship systems like engines, transporters, and cloak can be created and traded in-game.

Your crew will be composed of five different races including Human, Monk, Plantoid, Robotic, and Creature. Each race will have their own appearance, behavior, and special ability; affording each a particular advantage in combat, diplomacy, or a wide variety of other possible enhancements. Each crew member will be subject to perma-death, although this can be mitigated through insurance, and cloning bays.

Your ships will be highly configurable, with many systems being swappable and/or upgradable. You'll have to carefully manage your critical resources including fuel, atmosphere, and ammunition; while at the same time manage your crew as they perform their specialized duties like piloting, engineering, weapons control, and more. Additional supplies and reinforcements can be salvaged from wrecks, created from resources, or bought from npcs and other players.

The advancement system is based upon training individual skills of crew members in fields such as piloting, shields, engineering, weapons, and more. Ultimately, your goal will be to expand your dominion beyond your home system, and into the furthest reaches of the galaxy.
