When Earth is attacked by a devastatingly hostile fleet of unknown origin, the last remaining ships carrying what is left of humanity must find a way to work together and continue to survive out in the harshness of space, pursued relentlessly by the alien fleet. Your handful of ships of numerous classes will need to be maintained, fueled and kept stocked with the means to fight whatever you may come across. People left is a number that can only tick downwards as you struggle to feed, entertain and make life or death decisions with every planetary mission to find the resources to keep the fleet functional... Fragile Existence is a space real-time strategy with tactical pause, where you control the fate of a set fleet as they move from system to system, encountering ruined colonies, vicious alien lifeforms and harsh environments, taking part in RTS-style ground missions on procedural worlds with fleet support, manufacturing and researching, in a survival twist on the classic 4X formula.
Since beginning back in May 2020, Fragile Existence has grown from a small planetary orbit concept to a much more adventurous space/ground RTS with active pause, featuring multiple procedurally-generated planets in large solar systems. Your fleet can travel from world to world, splitting up if required, and they can each carry units down to the planet surface for the purposes of exploration and exploitation (and eventually conquest), before picking them back up again.
FE is the dream of a space RTS combined with spherical ground environments and a planet-based (temporary) base-building RTS, with the layers interacting and supporting the BSG-style 'fleet on the run' premise. Resources must be found to keep the fleet and the last survivors of near annihilation alive, and each unit maintains its own inventory/cargo space - if you lose a ship, you lose everything it contained. Countless solar systems beckon as you command the last of humankind through whatever terrors await you in the vastness of space.
