The Epic Team is proud to annouce the upcoming Unstable Space content expansion for Torn Stars. (That's right, an expansion to an already existing and completed mod!!) It adds hidden jump routes to the cluster. These unstable jump routes may allow you to sneak past Customs Patrols and Pirates, but they can be very risky and can damage or even destroy your ships. Traversing or discovering these hidden jump routes will be the work of smugglers and explorers. Additionally, a new series of player ownable and minable asteroids will be scattered throughout the cluster. These asteroids will form the backbone of the mining career.
Some sample in-game screenshots for your veiwing pleasure
Torn Stars aims to be a simulation of life in space in the near future.
Unstable Space expands on the Torn Stars simulation by creating an entirely new way of traversing capsule space. It also adds the possible careers of Smuggler, Explorer and Miner.
Unstable Capsule Jump routes criss-cross the Middle States cluster. These unstable routes are too dangerous for commercial shipping. Skilled pilots use them to dodge customs agents and government patrols. The best pilots (or the craziest) take deadly short cuts across the cluster for huge profits.
Miners seek out giant chucks of ice and metal to form new mining stations. Science teams assist in claiming the most valuable. And mining rigs (a new type of wingman) grind the best finds into cargo pods of ore for transport and sale. If you’re not shy about making enemies, skip the searching and jump another corporation’s claim. But don’t leave your own claim unguarded for long, or you could lose it to other miners.
Exploring for new star systems is not for the poor or ill equipped. All star ships burn fuel and charge upkeep. If you take a one way jump, it may be months before you find your way home. Jump scout freighters and fuel tanker wingmen can keep you alive long enough to make it back. With skill and luck, the asteroids you find will make the trip turn a profit.
Main Features:
- Hidden Lagrange points.
- Challenging smuggler jump routes.
- Finding and claiming large asteroids.
- Player owned mining stations.
- Real fuel usage, refueling and fuel tankers.
