Vectored Armada

Vectored Armada is a ship-building and fleet-composition game where you design vessels and watch them fight in automated battles. You act as the Architect, not the commander: your designs, fleet formations and configured ship behavior determine how your forces perform.

Design your ships

Build ships from individual blocks on a gridless port system. You can arrange them in straight, orderly designs or in wobbly, irregular ways, using rectangular, triangular, hexagonal and Penrose-style shapes. Each block can be destroyed separately, so ships can break apart, and their construction affects their structural integrity.

Ships can use many weapon types, from those suited to brawler battleships to those for artillery vessels. Their movement follows physics, so engine placement matters. Ship systems consume energy, requiring you to plan which systems you can afford to carry.

Compose your fleets

Put your ships together into fleets within an allocated budget, and colour the fleets as you like. Arrange them in strong formations or spread them across the space you have available; fleet tactics and force composition affect the outcome. You can also configure your ships’ behavior for battle.

Campaign and sharing

The single-player campaign has a large set of budgeted challenge battles, with escalating fights against tough premade fleets. These fleets were designed by the game's creator and members of the Vectored Armada beta tester community. The campaign tasks you with defeating The Oppressor.

The asynchronous multiplayer lets you share fleets with other people and import their fleets to battle against. It is not fully asynchronous multiplayer.
