Lightspeed

Lightspeed is a space flight and role-playing game in which you are the only human aboard a huge robotic spaceship. You fly through deep space to find and settle a planet where humanity can thrive. Combat is inevitable, but success also depends on resourcefulness, charm and political skill as you negotiate with intelligent beings who see you as the alien.

Spaceflight and combat

Pilot a starship 15,000 feet long and customize it for the performance you need. You can also control remote fightercraft in strategic battles against intelligent enemies. The game presents ships in detailed 3D and animates them through space.

Explore the galaxy

You can explore multiple star clusters, each with its own challenges. Each cluster contains a dozen solar systems, with scores of planets revolving around each sun. Twenty-five alien species require your attention.

Alien species

• The Broodsmasters: sinister and manipulative, they seek universal domination.
• The Lutin: quasi-intelligent beings with no memory or concept of the future.
• The Cicisbeo: self-absorbed, vain and arrogant.
