Pick a faction and build your ship
You start with an ordinary ship and a faction tag, then the work begins. You hunt NPC fleets for credits, fill laser and generator slots, add a rocket launcher, drones and CPUs, and refine what you have. Missions and ranks give the grind some shape, and stronger zones open as you level.
You drop into the upper maps and the deal changes: rival pilots from the other two factions are hunting the same space. Stay in your own territory for safer farming, push into contested maps when your build can take a laser duel. A clan helps a lot, with funding for auction bids and backup in a fight.
Auctions, clans and ApexGate runs
Progress here is not only shooting. You enter sealed hourly auctions for rare ships, drones and equipment, where losing bids burn as a credit sink, so timing and a full wallet matter. Found a clan, forge alliances, and climb the rankings if galactic politics is your kind of endgame.
For structured PvE, you build ApexGate gates and fight through waves for big rewards. Premium currency orbidium drops from mobs and quests too, so patient farming can reach strong ships without paying. It runs on weak PCs and in 15 languages, which fits its old-school browser roots.
What else should you know?
Do you need to download anything to play?
No. It plays directly in your browser with one click, and it runs even on weak PCs. That low barrier is part of the appeal: you pick a faction and start farming aliens within minutes.
Can you avoid PvP and just fight aliens?
Mostly early on. You can focus on PvE, missions and ApexGate waves, and your faction zone gives better protection. Higher zones and contested maps stay open to rival pilots, so expect to be vulnerable when you chase better rewards.
How do auctions work?
Bids are not refunded, win or lose, which makes it a real credit sink. Joining a clan early helps, since clanmates can fund bids and advise what is worth chasing.
