In this definitive first person 3D space combat simulation, you play as a flight commander in the Alliance Navy. You will take on the challenge of leading a team of pilots through a series of missions spanning the vast region of space known as the Evochron quadrant. As the story unfolds, you will take part in the events that eventually lead to the end of the Federation/Alliance war and the liberation of Evochron. In the midst of an ongoing war, the sudden return of the Vonari signals a dramatic change in the course of human history as forces unite in an epic battle for survival. With single player and multiplayer gameplay modes, varied objectives, diverse control options, Newtonian style physics, realistic avionics, versatile combat systems, and tactical focused gameplay, it provides a feature-packed and immersive space combat experience. And with its design and story elements, it presents a unique vision of the future where mankind has colonized space and encountered both awe-inspiring wonders and immense dangers. Get started by completing the interactive training, then launch into the 30-mission single player campaign. Design your own missions with the stand-alone editor or for quick battles, select the Instant Action mode. For added challenge, join with other players in multiplayer for Coop, PvP, and Team-vs-Teams battles. Choose from over 30 different weapons and equipment items to outfit your ship for the current mission objective. Select the ships for your wingmen in each squadron to configure your flight group for the strategy you want to use. Lead the ships under your command and issue orders as battle conditions change. Encounter a variety of environments including sensor and weapon restricting nebula clouds, gas giant atmospheres with powerful winds, asteroid fields, and the expanse of open space. Utilize the Newtonian style physics to perform a variety of combat maneuvers to achieve the optimal attack position or evasion route to escape from hostile fire. Pilot your ship with full freedom of movement control (roll, pitch, yaw, X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis) offering a wide array of tactics. Battle massive capital ships armed with flak cannons, beam weapons, missiles, and particle guns. Be victorious and watch them blow apart in pieces. Learn the advanced avionics and weapon systems to aid in navigation and combat. Track enemy ships movements and plan your strategies as conditions change. Monitor the status of the ships in your flight group as well as hostile ships with the Tactical Console and give appropriate orders for attack, defend, join formation, and repair/reload.
