FAQ
Why did we make this?
Becuase we love the game, and wanted to give it a modern port so new players and fans alike can experience it in a more modern way but retain the original gameplay.
What do I need to play it?
A modern PC will suffice from 2020 onwards, with Windows 10/11 or supported OS that a build is for.
How can I report a problem or suggest a feature?
Simple, email as at jake@spacefarergames.com or visit our Discord.
Do I need game files?
You don't need the original game files as this is a full port with clean-room reverse engineered code. All the assets we created are original.
For legal purposes, it's best to provide your own PAK files.
