All, I've just released my latest Super Starship game called Space Trek 2150.

It is a space exploration game inside a universe of 1,000,000 stars and 18,000,000 planets and moons.

The App Store link is here: Space Trek 2150

It was directly inspired by games such as No Man's Sky (discover a star/planet or moon and you own it), Star Trek (go where no one has gone before) and Space Engine (true scale universe and Earth sized planets - no gas giants yet but may add these in an update later).

Space Trek 2150 is all about exploration and discovery, not combat. If you're looking for a space combat game there are plenty of them in the App Store.

My game is full 3D, fly your starship to any star you see in your viewport. As I said there are 1,000,000 of them so the universe is MASSIVE! It spans 212 light years across and 212 light years up and down. Stars are really light years distance apart from each other and as you approach a star the solar system becomes visible and you can fly your starship to any planet or moon. You can even land on the planets and moons and mine rocks or collect planet pods for minerals. Minerals can be exchanged for credits at any starbase and the credits can be used to upgrade your ship. With such a massive universe how do you get from star to star in a reasonable amount of time? Surely you don't want to travel to the nearest star at the speed of light, that would take you years. No worries, your starship is fast.. really fast. To start with your ship can travel at 0.1 LY/sec (light years per second! which is 3,153,333 times the speed of light). Your starship can be upgraded to as fast as 1.0 LY/sec with enough credits.

Oh and no ads. It is 100% free to play. Just go and explore. I may add IAPs later so you can fast track your ship upgrades (or make a donation) but for now there are no IAPs.

You'll need an A12 or later CPU/GPU to play. 3 gigs of RAM (most A12 devices) is barely enough to run the game. If you have an M class CPU/GPU then the game will run at full res and 120 fps (with some dips down to the 80s when on a planet).

I hope you try the game.

Here are some screenshots

Enjoy!
