A contested map in StarWarp is equivalent to a solar system. Just like real space this consists of a star and the planets, moons, asteroids, comets and dust which orbit it.

Up until now we’ve told you that a short term aim is to conquer solar systems. But we haven’t explained how.

We have three game styles, each with different winning conditions. The game style is decided before the instance starts. Eventually it will be possible for you to see all of the battles and associated game styles through the meta server. (The meta server is still on our todo list, more news about that at a later date)

So, what are these game styles?

StarWarp is an online real time sci-fi strategy game where teams of players control a range of space-craft from scouts to battle-stations with the aim of conquering enemy planets, galaxies, the UNIVERSE!

The game is played from an overhead perspective. As a player you may control one space craft at anyone time. That DOESN'T mean you are stuck with that ship for the entire game, each time you are killed in combat you may select the type of ship that suits your current situation. Or if you're just too good to get killed you may return to the home planet and request a new ship.
