π ShipCore LITE is the ultimate Unreal Engine plugin for physically-driven spaceships. Built in C++ with Blueprint exposure, it provides everything you need to create ships that actually fly like ships, from thrusters and gyros to inertial dampening.
Whether youβre prototyping or building a full-scale space sim, ShipCore LITE gives you the power, flexibility, and tools to launch in minutes instead of months.
π Overview
Create believable, physically-based spaceships with thruster-gyro management, and customizable control systems. Built for both realism and accessibility.
π What is ShipCore LITE?
ShipCore LITE is a full-stack spaceship framework for Unreal Engine. Itβs modular, extensible, and designed with both C++ performance and Blueprint accessibility in mind.
With drag-and-drop components for thrusters, gyros, and cameras, you can assemble complex ships without reinventing the wheel.
π₯ Core Features
Thruster Manager β Handles distributed thrust across any configuration of linear forces.
Gyro Manager β Apply torque and stabilizers for responsive ship control.
Pilot Camera β Cinematic camera system with inertia and motion.
Inertial Dampening β Toggleable system that makes the ship counter any force in the attempt to stop, either in gravity or not.
C++ Core & BP Exposure β High performance with full Blueprint exposure.
Multiplayer-Ready β Built with replication in mind.
π«Autopilot and AutoDocking NOT included in LITE β Check Ship Core PRO.
