StarDrive takes a modular approach to ship design, allowing the player to create custom ships where the composition and placement of ship modules really matters to the performance of a ship.

The heart of StarDrive is its ship design and combat engine. Trade, spy and research your way to galactic domination.

Starting with a single planet and a small number of space-worthy vessels, you must venture forth into the galaxy, conquer new worlds, build new colonies and defend your very existence against those who would take what is yours. StarDrive sets a new benchmark for the ‘4X Space Strategy’ genre.
