Endless Sky

More about Endless Sky

Endless Sky is a 2D space trading and combat game inspired by Escape Velocity. Players start with basic ships like shuttles or cargo vessels and progress to advanced fleets through trading, combat, and exploration. The galaxy features hundreds of star systems, multiple alien species with unique technologies, and over fifty ship types with hundreds of upgrades. A plugin system enables custom ship and mission creation, while the galaxy editor allows adding new systems. The game is free, open-source, cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux), and follows GNU GPL v3. Story progression takes 8-16 hours, with optional story or exploration focus.
