## What is Super Starship?

Device with 3GB minimum RAM required to play

Explore a MASSIVE persistent universe.
900,000 stars, each star with its own solar system.
More than 4 million planets to discover!
Full 3D universe. Fly your starship to any part of the galaxy and to any planet.
MASSIVE planets with terrain - fly down through the planet atmosphere and see the detailed terrain.
Planets can have oceans with animated water and water reflections.
Solar systems are HUGE - because of the size there is a time-scale (up to 100x) that is automatically applied so you can fly from planet to planet very quickly and you can turn off the time-scale if you want to fly in real-time (can take HOURS to reach a planet though).
Collect beacons on the planet surface by flying through the beams. Beacons offer missions, points, credits, minerals and possibly fuel. Collect all beacons on a planet for extra points/credits.
Starbases you own make profits. Dock with your starbases and collect the profits to increase your wealth.
Colonize planets and build a fleet to invade and take over other colonized planets. Build an empire!

You like No Man's Sky? Well, this is not that, but it is inspired by it.

NO PIRATES! This is a mission of peace to map the galaxy for habitable planets to be colonized. Fly to any star you see in your view and explore its solar system without worrying about being attacked.

Persistent universe. All discovered stars and planets are cataloged on the galactic server and remembered. Come back in days, weeks, months to see how the universe has changed. Other captains will see your discovered stars and you will see theirs.

Your mission as starship captain is to explore and map the galaxy for the IGDB (Intergalactic Database). Use your local and galaxy map to help you accomplish your mission or just fly by the seat of your pants.

Your ranking is based on how many stars and planets you discover. Habitable planets are worth more points. Planets with intelligent or advanced life are worth even more points.

### 1/5 — Impossible to play iPhone 12!

*2025-01-20*

Another nitwit developer.

### 5/5 — Awesome game!

*2024-06-26, version 4.0*

Here’s some key points  for why I think this game is awesome:

1. Very simple and clutter-free.

2. No pay to win!!

3. I have a fleet of 2 billion ships.

4. I have a trillion credits. (from searching for wealthiest planets and invading them :D)

5. The artstyle and level of polish is just… I can’t really explain why I like it.

6. The loneliness of the whole thing is kind of serene.

7. Not a time-waster and doesn’t try to actively steal your attention

Basically, I love it. 5 stars would rate higher if I could.

### 4/5 — Good but…

*2024-03-11, version 4.0*

it’s a fun game but when I claim a star then when I explore it lags a lot then I go to a planet it crashes my game and it is rilly hard to find a star base

### 1/5 — I hate this game

*2024-02-11, version 4.0*

Every time I get in the game and I turn the directions for the planets are keep on getting kicked out fix your freaking glitches

### 5/5 — Gutes Game

*2023-02-17, version 4.0*

Ist ein sehr schönes Spiel genau das was ich gesucht habe es wäre schön wenn man selber Häuser errichten könnte.

Als frage kann man Kreaturen sehen oder nicht und was ist die höchste Lebensform

### 5/5 — Muy lindo ,

*2022-06-10, version 4.0*

Si estuviera en español sería lo máximo

### 4/5 — Great but needs work

*2022-06-02*

Time management needs to be improved and too many of the planet beacons are simply not there. Otherwise it’s an interesting game with a lot of potential.

### 5/5 — Развивайте игру!

*2022-05-18, version 4.0*

Игра отличная, однако хочется новых механик, если возможно, игру от первого лица, строительство, смену космических кораблей, заранее спасибо! Задумка очень хорошая

### 3/5 — Gioco dalle grandi potenzialità! Ma risolvete i CRASH!

*2022-04-16, version 3.9*

Finalmente un gioco di esplorazione spaziale e strategia che non si risolve nel solito “sparatutto”… va sicuramente ampliato e integrato con nuove caratteristiche e soprattutto vanno risolti i crash ogni due minuti (quando si esplorano alcuni pianeti) altrimenti non è giocabile… per il momento 3 stelle ma può arrivare facilmente a 5! :-) Complimenti allo sviluppatore intanto.

### 4/5 — Amazing! But..

*2022-04-06, version 3.9*

This can be the most incredible game on the app store, but you need to fix the crashes! I can't even play it crashes every 2 minutes and is heart breaking! Please debug!
