Spacefleet: Heat Death

Spacefleet: Heat Death is a realism-focused tactical space RPG set in the Earth-Luna system and its Lagrange points. You manage fleets, plan orbital maneuvers and fight in full 3D space combat. You can make your living as a trader, bounty hunter or fleet commander, starting with trade contracts and gambling wins and working toward building an empire.

Life in orbit

Command fleets, group ships into squadrons and plan attacks. You can dock with stations and plot orbital intercepts, using flip-and-burn maneuvers to travel through the system. The economy responds to supply and demand, and you can trade resources, gamble and hunt bounties.

Ship combat and systems

Use lasers, railguns and missiles, taking advantage of three-dimensional space while managing your ships’ heat and directing damage control teams. Each ship consists of modules with distinct functions: losing the drive leaves it unable to maneuver, losing the crew module prevents it from receiving orders, and losing the radiators causes it to overheat.

Heat management and the efficient use of power-hungry systems are vital to prevent ships from melting and their crews from baking alive.

Proof of concept

Heat Death is a lite proof-of-concept version of Spacefleet: Sol, a larger game planned to span the entire solar system and include more core features.
