About Interstellar Rift

✦ AI summary

Build and pilot your custom starship across an open galaxy, commanding your own crew while mining resources, trading goods, and battling pirates and aliens in multiplayer space combat. What sets it apart is the deep ship construction system that lets you design everything from explorers to battleships deck-by-deck, combined with a living economy where you can automate production, establish trade posts, and tackle faction missions alongside other players.

Interstellar Rift is an open world Starship Simulator with an emphasis on ship construction and multi-player interaction. Players can explore and conquer the galaxy with their own custom designed and constructed starship. Space is vast, but you don’t have to face it alone, other players will be able to join your crew, and help out, or build their own rival fleet and fight you across the galaxy.
Prepare to make these custom built spaceships your home when exploring the galaxy! Use the ship editor to design a ship to your liking, from small exploratory vessels to large cargo haulers, or even enormous battleships. With the editor you build your ship deck by deck, inside and outside. If you'd rather get going immediately you can always browse the workshop for ships that other players made, or you can upload your own blueprints.
The galaxy can be a dangerous place, even when playing solo. Strange rifts have opened up, unleashing a hostile race of alien creatures called the Skrill. If left unchecked, they will take over solar systems wreaking havoc on your enterprising. You can fight them alone, or call in the help of your friends, and man a ship together. But not all pilots will fight for a good cause, pirates and opposing fleets can come after you and your cargo at any time. Fight them ship versus ship, or hack your way aboard their vessels and bring the fight to them, in close quarters shootouts.
The economy of Interstellar Rift runs on the resources that can be gathered out in the galaxy. Vast asteroid belts circle planets and solar systems, filled with precious ores and minerals. Start up your resource extractors, or send out a wave of mining drones to do the hard labour for you. Visit the stores of LogiCorp and Galactic Trade, or drive a hard bargain with stranded pilots as you delive them fuel. Automate production lines with the ACTR (automated cargo transfer relay), and set up your own store to trade with other players, or any trade drones that might be nearby.
After choosing a faction to ally with, the galaxy is open for you to explore. Use rift generators to open up spatial rifts that transport you to new systems, exploring a system will help you map out the galaxy, and pinpoint the location of systems with special resources you might need. Construct new trade posts for the companies and factions that want to expand their influence, and help them set up secure stations and sectors. Take on missions for U-nits, or find good deals across multiple systems to make a profit from.

I don't get people here. A released game means it is done. Everybody say "abandoned aware". Do you ever bought a playstion 1 game said same thing? Released means the development is finished. However. I am sad this game did not get the right attention it needed. So far I know 3 students were working on this game until the release with some patches after it. Interstellar Rift has some unique things I liked. You can design ship always everywhere, when you have the resources for it and "update" the ship with new design. It extends your ship. Access / Rights / Lock System. You can allow or prevent access for doors. So if you have crewmember like captain who can go to the cockpit / bridge room so you could lock the door for others but pilot or captain can still open and join the room. This was nice if you wanted have guests in your ship they could join to you ship look little bit around. Or even open shop, so they could buy staff. Many man many stars, wormholes, anomaly etc etc. Actually lots of things which makes fun. Support Factions, Join Faction, Destroy Faction, Help Build up Stations (which then allows you to operate like mining extractors.. win / win situations), When I play…

I took a chance and bought this game, knowing it had mixed reviews, was abandoned by the developers, still had bugs, and an almost non-existent player-base. There was so much going for it in what few videos I saw that I really wanted to give it chance. Unfortunately, I can't even give it a good-ol' college try because the flight maneuvering is so bad (too sensitive and twitchy) that I can't even fly around and shoot at anything. Everything I have tried to improve it didn't work, even the help of fellow players on the Discord channel. I got it for a super-good deal and, unfortunately, I still feel like I wasted my money. I did it so you don't have to. Don't buy the game.

Don't let the bad reviews turn you away from this game. While the game is not in active development anymore, I didn't feel there where any instances where features where missing or incomplete. Nor where there any major bugs. The developers still run official servers for players and its a blast to hang out with your friends on one ship, working to upgrade it. This game is however unlikely to be enjoyable in singleplayer.

Really cool game and concept in general. Such a shame developers had to abandon it.
