Procedural systems
Systems and planets generated with density tier, archetype, deposits, and race bonuses so where you settle is a decision - not a respawn skin. Round two pushes colonisation and claiming into the map layer.

Exploration & presence
A map that earns every jump
I want the star map to be the game's spine - not wallpaper behind a build queue. Discovery, positioning, and eventually contested space should matter as much as a refinery upgrade.
What I want to achieve
Pan across an infinite grid where fog hides composition, neighbours, and opportunity. Fleets are arguments you send across hexes. Recon peels the fog before politics or combat - explorers lead, killers exploit, achievers secure high-value systems first.

What you can do here
Fleet presence
Travel, exploration, and dock workflows on a living canvas - pinch zoom on mobile, sector reachability, and fleet panels that stay shareable via URL state.
Intel before violence
System recon drones and planet scans turn fog into actionable data. Espionage rewards patience - a very explorer-killer handshake before formal combat exists.
Playable in alpha today
- Infinite procedural grid with fog, fleet movement, and planet overlays.
- Star-map LOD, mobile gestures, and shareable map URL state.
- Recon components and scan flows - shared-space contest still early.
Landing next
- System flagging, colonisation steps, and first commander-vs-commander map interaction in round two.
- Richer planet differentiation on the map - ninety-nine world archetypes with deposits and race bonuses readable at a glance.
- Combat and alliance overlays once diplomacy and engagements ship.
If this sounds like you
Explorers want every scan and hop. Killers want territory to contest. Socializers will eventually need shared map context - who holds which lane - but that layer is still ahead of alpha.
What you get out of it
Easy Fun from fog lifting and procedural surprise; Hard Fun when positioning fleets ahead of contest; People Fun when shared scans become alliance stories.
