The game features several distinct forms of game play, including gathering resources, role-playing, and strategy. The basic elements of the game involve developing a space station (space building structures that produce resources, captains or ships) and conquering the space with a captain leading a large fleet and using technology. You develop fleets composed of the squadron commander - Captain and space ship squadrons. When you take a space base, you can buy any of its buyable ships.

* Each specific space station can only raise the type of space ships appropriate to specific civilization
* develop cutting-edge technology and upgrade your fleet
