Enarian: Orbital Command

About the Game

Fresh out of the academy, no one is going to give you command of your own station until you have proven yourself.

Fortunately, there are plenty of corporations or even pirate factions that are more than happy to hire you to defend a station under threat, or recover stolen goods.

Browse available defence contracts and see what catches your eye. The level of the contract denotes its difficulty but also the rewards for completion. But be careful who you take contracts for, the opposing faction will hold it against you! 

State of the Game

Enarian: Orbital Command is still very much in active development, suggestions and feedback would be much appreciated.

Ore and Ship Building

You start the game with a small fleet of ships, some fighters and mining vessels.

Your mining ships will produce Ferrium Ore, a common ore used in the production of basic ships. And Titanite Ore required for bigger more complex ships.

Build your fleet up adding small combat ships like Interceptors, Fighters, Bombers and Destroyers, back them up with support craft like the Covert Ops, Repair and Logistics ships who buff, and repair your fleet.

Build additional mining and salvage ships to speed up your ore production.

Invest in large frigate and cruiser class that will form the backbone of your fleet.

And eventually you may be able to afford the formidable Battleship, Dreadnaught and Carrier capital class ships. 

Complete Defence Contracts to earn Credits

Credits can be spent to purchase upgrades to numerous ship systems, improving damage, speed, shield strength and more.
