About Star Conflict
Star Conflict is a space‑action title where players pilot combat starships in large‑scale battles across the galaxy. The autonomous release bundles client and server so friends can host local matches and explore the game without the original online service.\n\nThe game offers over 100 ships, dozens of maps, PvE and PvP modes, and an open‑space region to explore. Ship roles, customization and upgrades let each player tailor a vessel to their preferred tactics, from fast interceptors to heavy destroyers.

The game does not prescribe a single optimal configuration, encouraging experimentation.
