Key Features

• Take on various heart pounding, highly replayable contract missions. Tangle with space fighters and capital ships to keep the company gratified while earning your reputation.

• The Blackstar training range provides a place to gain instruction on the various systems of your advanced fighter as well as put them and your weapons to the test.

• Full 6DOF (six degree of freedom) control with compensated and uncompensated Newtonian physics modes. These can be easily toggled during combat.

• The combat is designed primarily around the use of HOTAS, but the game also supports gamepad and keyboard/mouse controls. All controls are bindable with calibration and customization options. Support for the use of up to 6 controllers simultaneously.

• Player immersion was a primary design philosophy. The in-game UI is MFD and holographic based. No overly cluttered HUD keeps gameplay immersive.

• Physicalized projectiles ensure a realistic gunnery experience.

• Fully voiced NPC radio dialog and cockpit AI, with optional subtitles.

• Built-in MP3 player with bindable controls. Listen to your own collection of MP3s in game. The system will automatically reduce the music volume during NPC radio calls and return it after the voice communication is complete. Never miss any critical information.

• Ultra-wide screen support for menu UI elements. In-cockpit UI uses physicalized world elements and not overlays.

• Progression stats keep track of your pilot accomplishments. Victory badges are displayed on your cockpit dash to show off your fighter victories. A demerit system keeps the player honest, punishing them for things that Blackstar deems undesirable. A dedicated stats page is available to review your accomplishments.
