ShipOS 1994

ShipOS 1994 puts you in charge of your family’s failing shipping empire, which is burdened by debt after decades of mismanagement, embezzlement and possible fraud. You manage a fleet, accept shipping contracts and plan routes, choosing how to run the company.

Shape your operations

You can use a hub-and-spoke model, focus on particular contract types such as dry goods, liquids or resources, or choose ships to suit your route planning. The game lets you shape the business around your preferred approach.

Manage your fleet

The Global Map shows your ships’ locations in real time, along with their current cargo. From there, you can direct ships to new destinations. You can also procure ships and upgrade them to improve their potential, investing in changes that add value to your routes.

Contracts and finances

You view and accept contracts from ports around the world, with offers based on your fleet’s size and capabilities. You can choose contracts for their potential return on investment, manage the company’s finances and borrow money from the bank. Upgrading port docks can reduce refuelling and servicing costs at those locations.

Pinhead and applications

Pinhead is your personal assistant and guide to the operating system. ShipOS 1994 includes applications for fleet mapping, contract management, ship upgrades, finances and fleet procurement, as well as an electronic music player. More applications are to be added over time.
