Starborne is a take on the grand-strategy 4X genre with the added powerful impact of being a multiplayer game played in real-time. In Starborne each game will last six months culminating in a decisive endgame.
You start with a fledgling station and as you invest in its infrastructure you will see it take shape and its borders grow, bringing unclaimed territories under your sovereignty. Soon it will be time to build another station with its own unique purpose within your master-plan. Will the next station be a center of research? A military compound? Or an industrial complex?
In Starborne there are multiple paths to success. Spymasters use their gathered intelligence to steer others’ ambitions to their own end. Explorers go on star treks searching for hidden riches and fame while industry moguls establish vast trade networks and utilize the final frontier's boundless resources. Spartan defenders focus on impregnable defenses and use their fleets to protect their sovereignty and that of their allies while Space-Napoleons use their offensive fleets to plunder opponents and pave their path to glory.
Mark your calendar! On Tuesday, October 30th Starborne goes live. This marks a full year since our last big alpha test and there are a lot of changes. Expect a changelog in the coming days.
Thank you for your patience. See you on the frontier commander!
