About Idle Space Raider
Idle Space Raider puts you in the role of a station guard patrolling space. You complete missions and raids, then upgrade your ship and station to increase your power.
Ship and station
Your ship has four weapon slots, four module slots and one skin slot. The station has multiple sections, including an armory, bar, shipyard, development center, mining center, bounty hunter guild, stargate, automation system and academy.
Weapons can use different ammo modifiers, which either change their stats or grant abilities. You can equip five abilities, chosen from more than nine active and passive options, and upgrade them. Modules can also receive augments with random bonus stats. In the ammo modifiers workshop, you can extract or add duration modifiers and combine them to create new ones.
Progress and automation
The offline progress system mines ore while you are away. You can spend the ore gained offline to increase your level and buy resources for upgrades. Automation offers toggles and upgrades across categories including weapon levels, research levels, bar drinks and mercenaries, ability use and mining.
Events and the stargate
Timed events offer rewards that include rare weapons, modules, ammo modifiers and ship skins. Building a stargate gives you access to a second level of resets and alien technology, including improvements and modifiers for your main ability, unique research, weapons, modules, ammo modifiers and skins.
