StarFrame

StarFrame
A single persistent galaxy shared by every player.
Security and Risk
Space is divided by security level. Players cannot damage each other in high security space. Low security space is unpoliced, but it holds the best ore, loot, and the most dangerous pirates.
Anything valuable has to be flown back home, and that trip can be dangerous. Lose a fight and you lose everything you had with you: the ship, the fit and the cargo.
Combat
Lasers are hitscan and land where you point. Autocannons and artillery have projectile travel, so you lead moving targets. Missiles lock on, and flares and jammers can counter them.
Mining and Industry
Refined ore feeds the production chain. You manufacture ships and modules from blueprints you find and learn. Skills train through use, so you improve at what you spend your time on. Ships are fitted from a slot system and finished with rigs that roll their own stats.

A galaxy of real players
Fly with a party, or found a corporation with a shared wallet, storage and ranks. Deploy storage depots and corporate outposts, declare war on rivals and siege their structures.
Premium
Premium is optional. It doubles skill XP rates, raises your skill pool caps, allows for parallel processing and manufacturing jobs, and lets you expand both your hangar and your station storage. Founding a corporation and deploying structures also require it.
No skill, ship, module or item is locked behind premium. There is nothing to buy but time.
