About
Explore other star systems. Earn money by trading, carrying passengers, or completing missions. Use your earnings to buy a better ship or to upgrade the weapons and engines on your current one. Blow up pirates. Take sides in a civil war. Or leave human space behind and hope to find some friendly aliens whose culture is more civilized than your own... Endless Sky is a sandbox-style space exploration game similar to Elite, Escape Velocity, or Star Control. You start out as the captain of a tiny spaceship and can choose what to do from there. The game includes a major plot line and many minor missions, but you can choose whether you want to play through the plot or strike out on your own as a merchant or bounty hunter or explorer.
Changelog
This is a stable release, focused on fixing bugs and making some other small improvements. Some of the notable changes are: And some of the bugs fixed are: You can find out more in the changelog. Special thanks to the 13 people who contributed to this release! - Pacifist worlds in human space that do not offer tribute now have their own set of responses when it is demanded, as opposed to responding as if your combat rating is not high enough yet. - The player's cloak state will now persist in the save file. This means that if you land while cloaked, close, and reopen the game, you will still be cloaked when taking off, which was already the behavior if you landed while cloaked and then departed without having closed the game. - The shop UI now has a dropdown for selecting the number of items to buy, sell, or move. - Added a setting for globally modifying text alignment in paragraphs. - Using the "Reload" button in the main menu after dying no longer crashes. - The Successor wormhole can now be used when hostile to the Successors. - Various fixes and improvements to mouse controls when the "Control ship with mouse" preference is on. - Moved the planet description in the map panel down a little so it no longer overlaps with the system name when the game window is small.
