Game description

Board your new spaceship and experience the unique universe of Icarus! Earn credits through trading, mining, or fight against computer-controlled and real opponents. Hone your skills and equip your spaceship to be the best in the galaxy! In an alliance you can defend your point of view and, if necessary, wage war.

Would you like to find out more, Pilot? The various areas are described in detail below, giving you a good idea of how things work in the universe.


Modular system

In the sophisticated module system, the spaceship can be customized as desired - provided you have the appropriate experience and credits. The modules are divided into 11 categories such as drives, generators, guns or hull. Depending on your choice of profession, you will of course need different modules: A prospector (asteroid mining) will normally focus on larger cargo space, while the fighter will concentrate on weapons. In order to limit the initial confusion, some pre-configurations have been created, which must be selected before logging in for the first time. Initially, the module configuration is limited as the starter spaceship does not have too many slots.

Spaceships

With enough credits, you can purchase any of the current 24 series starships. In addition to their individual appearance, these differ in the number of slots available. These slots are required to integrate the modules mentioned above. Incidentally, not every spaceship can be flown by every pilot; a certain minimum rank is required for every spaceship.

Skills and experience system

In the course of a career, you gain experience, which sooner or later is reflected in your rank. For each rank level, you can train in one of 15 areas, giving you increased attack power or advantages in controlling the spaceship, for example.

Command

In the command screen, you control the spaceship and can interact with other players. You can accept missions and issue orders for ore mining, gas collection or artifact searches. For those looking for something more exciting, there are system-controlled spaceships (NPCs) that can be engaged in combat like other pilots. Those who don't like flying alone can simply find a wing (wingman), although this limits some options.

Alliances

Alliances can be formed to promote team play. In addition to the improved communication possibilities with the members, you can define your diplomatic behavior towards other alliances, assign specially defined ranks (rights) to the members, manage the alliance treasury, or wage wars!

Ranking list

A ranking list is a must to see who is the most successful pilot in Ikarus. A separate list for alliances shows the success of the various communities in Icarus.
