Star Raid

Jump into instant-action battles from a tactical starmap: pick contracts, refit your ship, then warp into contested zones. Each sortie unfolds across dynamic arenas—asteroid fields, derelict shipyards, ion storms—where you’ll manage shields, weapons, and engines on the fly. Weave through enemy fire, time boost bursts, and chain missile locks while using debris and cosmic phenomena for cover. Complete objectives like intercepts, base assaults, salvage runs, and capital ship takedowns to earn credits and rare parts.

Between missions, dock at frontier stations to upgrade hulls, swap weapon loadouts, and hire wingmates. Progression is flexible: specialize in precision railguns, swarm missiles, or beam loadouts; tune reactors and shield harmonics; and unlock advanced hull frames. Rising threat levels introduce smarter enemy aces and modular cruisers with targetable subsystems—disable engines, crack shield nodes, then finish with a reactor strike. Master energy management, perfect drift turns, and coordinate with your squad to dominate the stars.
