► Description

Hard sci-fi, top-down physics based space mining simulator. Master realistic spaceflight using true-to-life technology, upgrade your ship to best suit your flight style and hire a crew to assist you.

∆V
Delta-V, symbolized as ∆V and pronounced delta-vee, is the change in velocity that a spacecraft can achieve by using its entire propellant load.

The year is 2273

The unexpected discovery of valuable minerals within the rings of Saturn has sparked a thriving space excavation industry. You control an asteroid excavation ship hoping to make it rich out on the rings, but soon you find out that all is not as it appears. Experience a hard sci-fi story backed up with real physics and science.

Players say
"The way the lights on the ship light up the asteroids, the way even informational screens change when power goes out, the music that simultaneously carries emotions of loneliness, adventure, and mystery, all beautiful."

"[...]while this definitely is not my style of game, it is EXTREMELY well done for it's genre. The aesthetic and art style are simply awe inspiring."

"[...]love how the gameplay with keyboard/mouse AND gamepad is equally satisfying, while it 'plays' somewhat differently. [...] Having to constantly apply controls, to adjust speed, bearing, velocity is really fun, engaging and satisfying."

"Nice game, very captivating. The silence and mystery of space feels spot-on."

"I’m in love, I’ve been waiting for a game like this my whole life."

"[...]looks really really good! I love this kind of sims on where all is about precise control"

Features

• Realistic top-down hard sci-fi space flight experience. Every aspect of gameplay is backed up by real science. Ships fly just as starships should.
• Jump into action in seconds with autopilot assist or save fuel by manual thruster maneuvers.
• Detailed ship simulation down to every subsystem - upgrade your ship, fix or even jury-rig broken systems on the fly. Every system failure will impact gameplay - adapt to survive in the hostile environment of space.
• Discover the mystery of the Rings, or just try to get rich leading your excavation company.
• Plan your strategy back on Enceladus Prime station. Sell your output, upgrade your ship, hire the crew and manage your company.

1.42.7 - Signal to Noise
Runasimi releases quantum communications
Runasimi Inc. has introduced an advanced communication system tailored to meet
the demands of real-time interlunar communications. This groundbreaking system
employs a sophisticated quantum data transmission method in conjunction with
Runasimi’s proprietary digital signal processing algorithms. This innovative
approach ensures seamless and nearly instantaneous communication over interlunar
distances, setting a new standard in space communication technology.

New flexible astrogation regulatory
Responding to the dynamic and challenging conditions of Saturn's Rings, the
Enceladian Astrogation Authority has significantly relaxed its astrogation
regulations. This adjustment grants astrogators the liberty to traverse the
debris-strewn expanses of the Rings without the encumbrance of filing detailed
flight plans. Now, spacecraft within the Rings are merely required to maintain a
record of potential destination coordinates, substantially minimising
administrative tasks and bolstering operational agility. This regulatory update
is designed to stimulate exploration and mining activities by streamlining
procedural requirements, all while upholding the essential principles of space
traffic safety and accountability.

Comprehensive astrogation console update
Minding LF's latest update to its astrogation consoles, aimed at revolutionising
the way astrogators sort and select navigation targets, has been released amidst
a swirl of controversy. By introducing new algorithms for easier sorting and
recovery of previously lost tracking data, the update offers astrogators
unparalleled flexibility and precision in mission planning. However, its launch
closely following the Enceladian Astrogation Authority's new, more lenient
navigation regulations has led to accusations of unfair competition, with
critics suggesting Minding LF might have had prior knowledge of the regulatory
changes.

Maintenance Logs

• You can now call ships you talked with previously; most of the time, they will
answer.
• New simulation range controls in the settings menu allow you to limit the
physics simulation area and improve performance on low-end systems.
• New astrogation protocol. POI which you lost track of will still be selectable
on your astrogation console - they are still contained in the ship logs, after
all, it's just your current astrogator that has trouble finding them. You may
attempt an astrogation jump to such a location, but you will arrive at the
location that is the best guess of your current astrogator.
• Additional icons on the Astrogator console allow you to see different classes
of astrogation destinations more easily.
• You can now label your astrogation destinations with different colours, making
it easier to distinguish one moonlet from another.
• You can now zoom in on the Astrogation console visual map.
• General astrogation re-balance. Since you can now travel to expired
astrogation targets, the base tracking time of your crew was lowered by 25% to
account for that.
• Claim beacons will now return to the Enceladus Prime station automatically
when your claim period expires. Previously, if you did not equip it again and
travelled to exactly the same spot, you could find a defunct beacon waiting for
you, just as if you just released it.
• Map labels on the dive target selection screen and the Astrogator panel will
now keep their original size when you zoom in and out.
• Enhanced graphics on Enceladus stations. The station now has
multiple-resolution images for all distances, so it will look more consistent
when viewed at different zoom levels. Most notably, this removes subtle
shimmering of the edges when the camera is zoomed away.
• OCP-209 HUD now has Bearing and Orientation readouts.
• Having your NDCI collision alert set to 10 seconds triggered a zero division,
which could gradually degrade the performance of your game during dives.
• The settings menu will no longer overflow the Steam Deck screen when you
increase the HUD size.
• Adjusted the layout of the Settings menu to fit additional controls.
• Updated translations.

1.42.9 - Arms Race

• Triskellion-Armstrong suffered a station-wide beacon coordination tightbeam service outage, rendering all the B8 Claim Beacons inoperative for over 48 hours. Lacking tightbeam connections, most beacons deployed in the rings initiated emergency return protocol and returned to the station. The company deployed many drone carriers to place all the beacons back in their registered claim locations free of charge.
