VIEWPORT: The A.R.K. Protocol

Jump systems, scan planets, dodge danger, find a new home or die trying.

Answer distress calls, decode weird signals, or just fire first and ask later.

Fight off pirates and freaks in tactical shootouts to keep your ship in one piece.

Think you can charm your way out of trouble? Give it a shot, hotshot.

Send drones to dig while your crew scans asteroids, wrecks, and stations for juicy hotspots.

Low on supplies? Break junk down into something useful with the handy-dandy material converter.

Deploy your crew to creepy ships and uncharted planets. Explore, loot, or die horribly.

Give orders or micromanage. Either way, someone’s getting spaced.

Patch the hull, reroute power, rebuild or repurpose sections. Your ship’s survival depends on it.

Convert and adapt ship sections to fit your evolving needs: turn probe bay into a triage extension, retrofit cryo-chambers, or jury-rig new defenses to survive whatever space throws at you.

Assign a scientist as a mechanic, or a pacifist as your soldier. It's your decision.

Every decision of who to wake, how to respond, what to repair, shapes your story and your crew's fate.

Overview
You are the Commander, prematurely thawed from cryo-sleep and dumped into the bridge of humanity's last starship. With most of Earth's finest minds still frozen, a half-broken AI (A.R.K.) at your side, and resources dwindling by the minute, you must guide your desperate crew through a hostile galaxy in search of a new home.
Juggle scarce supplies, respond to unpredictable events, and make gut-wrenching decisions as you chart a course through star systems teeming with danger, mystery, and darkly comedic disaster. Assign roles, repair systems, launch risky ground ops, and decide who's worth saving... or sacrificing.
Every button press could be the difference between survival and extinction. Humanity's last hope is in your hands... and your hands are probably shaking.
