## What is Starbase Tycoon?

Take command of your own starbase in a deep-space tycoon sim with charming pixel art.

Start with a lonely docking ring in the dark between stars. Build reactors, hydroponics, quarters, bars and science labs. Welcome freighters, liners, pilgrims and science vessels. Recruit a crew, keep them happy, and grow a sleepy outpost into the busiest port in the sector.

BUILD YOUR STATION
- Over 40 rooms: reactors, shield emitters, cargo bays, cantinas, holo-theatres, observatories and more
- Upgrade rooms, research new tech and climb from Class I outpost to Class V starbase
- Choose a specialisation: Trade Hub, Science Outpost, Fortress or Resort
- Paint your hull and give your station its own style

RUN A LIVING CREW
- Every crew member has a personality, needs, friendships and even romances
- Assign officers, promote your best people and keep morale high
- Feed the station, balance power and air, and keep logistics flowing

DOCK, TRADE AND DEFEND
- Ten ship classes, each with their own needs and contracts
- Earn standing with four factions
- Fight off raiders with shields and weapons
- 70+ story events, famous visitors and station festivals
