Hardwar is a futuristic arcade flight simulation which will give PC gamers a huge virtual world to explore, conquer and ultimately escape from. You're an operative, a free agent and a speculator. Your home is the overcrowded claustrophobic terminally ill city of Misplaced Optimism, the last of the crater clusters on the barren mined-out Titan. Scanning the comms channel for salvage or sabotage jobs throughout the hostile network of craters and tunnel links, you aim to better your reputation, gain credit, enhance your Moth (your ship, your only real asset) and ultimately escape Titan, a fantasy for all but the powerful and influential. You are free to do what you want within the solar powered city, the lightwells which charge ships and power the craters are free but hotly contested and you can expect payback from any serious criminal behaviour. It's always a question of who you know; if you scratch no one's back there's plenty waiting to stab yours. Your maintenance is delivery, escort and salvage but as your reputation grows you'll pick up more lucrative work like bounty, assassination and demolition.
