[OVERVIEW] Standard Freight Corp. is a deeply systemic, zero-friction idle simulation. You are the newly appointed Director of interstellar logistics. Your mandate is simple: build trade routes, acquire massive industrial fleets, and navigate the hostile interstellar politics of the 22nd century. This is not a space combat simulator. You do not pilot ships. You manage the ledger, align with factions, and let an advanced AI narrator document the history your decisions create. [OPERATIONAL CAPABILITIES] >> DEEP LOGISTICS ENGINE: Manage a catalog of 26 distinct ship blueprints across four classes. Assign 900-ton Mammoth haulers and stealth escorts to optimized trade corridors across Sol, Proxima, Barnard’s Star, and the frontier volumes. >> PERSISTENT SIMULATION: A robust tick-engine simulates route progress, propellant burn, and cargo yields whether the terminal is active or offline. >> AI-DRIVEN CONSEQUENCE: Powered by a live LLM integration, your corporate posture (Force, Shadow, Order, Zeal) directly alters the game world. Every generation, the AI authors a unique Chronicle and adjusts global market demand based on your specific playstyle. >> CORPORATE ESPIONAGE: Deploy stealth vessels to monitor, disrupt, or sabotage rival corporations. Balance profit against Global Trade Commission (GTC) heat. >> THE GRAND MANDATE: Evolve from middle management to a galactic superpower. At Generation VI, transition to the Syndicate Command layer to build military complexes, declare holy war, and deploy armadas in 2-bit skirmish simulations. [THE LEDGER NEVER STOPS] The galaxy is vast. The margins are thin. Your compliance is profitable. --- Standard Freight Corp offers an optional auto-renewable subscription: Executive Account — $3.99/month Boosts income to 1.25×, runs every Division Chief at top skill with no in-game salary, and removes rewarded ads. • Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. • Your subscription renews automatically for the same price and period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. • Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.
