Field notes
The homepage describes a single-player test mode running on a local server, with downloads listed for Mac, Windows, and Linux. Players can issue orders through a map, including stance, objectives, expansions, and requests; building menus handle training and research. The setting pairs Stardust Ore with Metallic Hydrogen, while a fictional radio station and mock product ads furnish its everyday culture. The online world is explicitly still being built.
