UE5 Beginnings of a Grand Space Game

Hi all. Been working on alittle project about huge ships battling it out on space. its slowly taking form.
Its a mix of RTS light and player ship control similar to EvE.
I have been working on the AI Ships to get the feel of how the combat will be like ingame.

Hey there @Metalvenomuk !

This is so fascinating! Will there be elements to the game akin to base building style so you can customize your battleship?

Hi and Thanks,
Ship customization isn’t currently planned. though you will have a choice of many ships to control.
The aim of the game is the AI will be at war taking vital points around the system.
The player will be tasked with supplying the faction with resources and helping in combat to help tip the balance of the war.

essentially the player will be a small cog in a larger warmachine. think a soldier on a large battlefield. Scouting/Resource Gathering and Combat will some of the tasks involved.
Building outposts or defence platforms are also planned.

Hi there @Metalvenomuk,

Hope you’re well and having a wonderful week so far! :slight_smile:

I love the lights/lasers(?) looks both sci-fi and rather stunning. What inspired this project specifically?
