About Cosmoteer: Starship Architect & Commander

✦ AI summary

Design and customize starships module-by-module, then command them in physics-driven real-time tactical combat where every design choice determines survival. Explore a procedurally-generated galaxy solo or co-op, battle other players in PvP, or unleash your creativity in sandbox mode, all backed by deep crew simulation and endless community-created content through modding.

A starship builder perfect for fans of games like FTL, Starsector, SPAZ, Space Engineers, Escape Velocity, Avorion, and more.

Design awesome starships using intuitive ship creation tools that are easy to learn but hard to master. Fully customize your ship's shape and floor plan, choosing where to place individual modules including weapons, engines, hallways, and crew's quarters. Your ship's design is key to its survival, and every decision you make will impact its performance in battle. Easily share your designs with others through the Steam Workshop, Forums, and Discord.

A ship's crew is its lifeblood. Numbering from half-a-dozen to a thousand or more individually-simulated people, your crew will pilot your ships, operate their weapons, and carry munitions. How efficiently they operate determines how well your ships will perform in combat. Your crew are autonomous but you can optionally customize their behavior with specific roles and job priorities.

Command your ship or fleet in real-time tactical battles. Combat is physics-driven, explosive, and immensely satisfying. Each module can be individually targeted and destroyed, and whole ships can even break apart into multiple pieces. Target an enemy's weapons to eliminate its offensive capability, destroy its shields to lower its defenses, or go for the kill by taking out its reactor.

Become the most famous "Cosmoteer'' in the universe by battling A.I. ships, taking on contracts for factions, earning loot, and upgrading your own ship while exploring a procedurally-generated galaxy, alone or in online co-op with friends. Then test your ships design and command skills online against other players in multiple PvP battle modes. Or let your imagination fly free in the Creative Mode where you can build whatever you want with unlimited resources.

Still want more? A powerful modding framework and Steam Workshop will keep Cosmoteer constantly feeling fresh with new player-created weapons, modules, and other enhancements.

✦ AI summary

Cosmoteer: Starship Architect & Commander offers engaging core gameplay centered on building modular ships and engaging in tactical combat, with a solid mod community and reliable mechanics that generally work well. However, players note the lack of meaningful progression with no campaign or story content, limited quest variety, and frustration over sparse developer communication on Steam regarding the promised content roadmap.

I really enjoyed the game before it even released as a paid application on the Steam Store, I've been playing with friends since about 2018 and when the game released on steam we were all hyped and pretty much bought it at release. Especially with the roadmap we were promised. For me particularily the boarding and carrier updates that were announced. However the years went by and not too much changed. We got 3 different kinds of space hazards, tons of new (mostly player made) NPC ships. A meltdown update that made most pre-update ships somewhat bad, whilst adding on paper a lot of content but in reality only a handful of additions on the grand scheme of things. Now, as many have pointed out, even with the indefinite delay of pre-release promised updates and the rather little additional content we have received, nothing seems to be pointing at any real change to that. No meaningful updates in the past 18 or so months, radio silence in most regards and just no observable vision moving forwards. The game has a lot of potential, I still believe that. Yet as of now I doubt it will reach its potential and so it pains me to not recommend the game, yet it really isn't too much content y…
