Outer Space: War Gears

Outer Space: War Gears is a six-degrees-of-freedom space shooter that combines simulation and fiction. You pilot a light gunship and work for a corporation that reclaims colonies from rogue AI systems. Complete missions, develop your ship and investigate a surge in machine rebellions.

The Solar System

In the year 22xx, nuclear propulsion and AI systems have enabled humans to operate throughout the Solar System, despite no new laws of physics permitting faster-than-light travel. AI systems with artificial general intelligence carry out most space operations, including asteroid mining. They can develop their own objectives, and companies often lose control of their colonies.

Governments and companies have tried to create AI systems that can mine and explore without developing artificial general intelligence. Those attempts have failed: the systems either lack sufficient intelligence or develop artificial general intelligence over time. Companies have emerged to return rogue colonies to their human owners, and you work for one of them.

Fly and fight

You maneuver your ship in all six degrees of freedom, using realistically simulated physics. Explore megastructures built by AIs and customize your ship with different frames and weapons, each with its own characteristics.

Build your capabilities

You begin with a simple gunship and a few weapons. Reclaiming an asteroid and returning it to its owner can earn you money, which you can use to develop new technologies and buy parts, weapons and items. As you complete missions, expand your ship’s capabilities and acquire more powerful weapons.
