What is Vega Strike?

Vega Strike is an open-source, cross-platform space flight simulation game released under the GNU General Public License. It features a fully 3D environment with first-person cockpit views allowing players to pilot a variety of spacecraft and engage in combat against enemy factions.

Gameplay in Vega Strike centers around freely navigating a procedurally generated galaxy comprising hundreds of star systems. Players can land on planets and space stations to access services like trading, hiring wingmen, and upgrading their ship's capabilities. Combat involves using laser cannons, missiles, and other weapons to attack opponents.

There is an emphasis on realism in Vega Strike's flight dynamics and combat modeling. Players have full control of directional thrusters, power allocation between systems, and advanced tactics like using tractor beams and countermeasures. The game can be played in single player against AI enemies, or online against other players.

Vega Strike has a focus on moddability and extendability. There is a built-in scripting engine that allows players to create and share custom scripts that can add new weapons, gameplay mechanics, NPC enemies, and even entirely new star systems. This gives it great potential for community-generated content.
