OK, there are over forty images for this Dark Horizon post, which bears no connection to one of my favourite movie websites. This space combat simulation follows along the same lines of classics like Wing Commander and Freelancer, with special features such as full ship customization, original weapon creation, joystick support, and several modes of combat.

A small back story and some key features are also included, just hit the jump.

Disaster has taken its harsh grip and the universe is slowly dying. Systems cease to exist and there seems to be no way of stopping the threat.

In this world you can choose play as the mysterious race “Guardians”, among others, through 22 missions of space combats to save the humanity from the all-destroying hazard, the Mirk. Use the help of your allies: other Guardians will fight side by side with you, and biomechanical race bios will assist you with their high-tech devices and weapons.

You cannot only modify your ships and weapons. Throughout your challenging space missions you can gather resources that can be used to create your own equipment and weapons between the missions.
The new modes also allow you to decide between moving invisible through enemy lines, which results in weaker attacks or you can choose a stronger attack mode that weakens your shields.

Features

• Allows full customization of your spaceship. You can change your ship on a detailed level and alter hull, shields system, reactor, armour, weapons, missiles etc.
• Gather resources and disassemble unused parts of your ship and use them to create your own weapons for supreme destructive power and improve your ship to create the ultimate space vessel
• Fight in team with other pilots trough fierce battles, give orders and use tactics to take out your enemies (please note – no multiplayer!)
• Choose between two different modes that will change your fighter’s performance according to your own demands: ‘shadow’ mode to stealth through enemy lines (yet it prevents using full power of your weapons) and ‘corter‘ mode that will level up the power of you guns at a cost of energy-usage that weakens your shields.
• Game legth\time 6 parts in 22 missions (1-2 objectives each) and extensive
