About Star Trucker
Star Trucker puts you behind the wheel of a rocket‑powered big rig, merging classic American trucking vibes with interstellar travel across a sprawling hyper‑highway network and a cast of star‑hopping truckers.
In single‑player mode you haul cargo, scavenge salvage, monitor zero‑gravity handling, keep core systems online, and enjoy an original soundtrack while cruising the ultimate open road—space.
01 / THE GUIDE
Driving Mechanics
The rig uses familiar vehicle controls, but zero‑gravity momentum heavily influences steering and braking, creating a distinct handling feel.
Because the truck is not a starship, players must anticipate drift and plan throttle inputs to stay on course.
- Start with gentle turns to sense momentum.
- Watch how braking extends drift in open space.
02 / THE GUIDE
Job Types & Economy
Players can accept contracts that include fuel‑hungry long hauls, requiring extended travel across the hyper highways and careful fuel management.
Hazardous drop‑offs are also available; completing them provides cash and unlocks additional game content for future runs.
- Check the CB radio for occasional high‑pay side gigs.
- Balance cargo weight against fuel consumption for efficient trips.
03 / THE GUIDE
Vehicle Maintenance
Core systems such as the gravity compensator and hull integrity must stay online to avoid leaks during travel.
Pre‑trip shop stops let you replace parts and consider garage upgrades, which help survive volatile sectors safely.
- Visit a shop before long hauls to verify the gravity compensator.
- Patch the hull regularly to prevent cabin leaks.
05 / THE GUIDE
Audio & Atmosphere
The CB radio broadcasts chatter from other truckers, providing side gigs and galactic gossip that enriches the sense of community.
A built‑in hi‑fi system plays original tracks ranging from starburst blues to asteroid‑infused Americana, letting you set a personal mood while cruising.
- Tune into the CB before departure to hear possible side missions.
- Adjust the hi‑fi volume to match the pace of your cargo.
