About this game
This classic style RTS is a passion project with tons of ship customization and complete 3D space movement. It features several automation options so that players can choose to automate part of their RTS experience, which is ideal for us who love space battles but who dislike having to do 50 things at once!
Inspired by RTS games such as Red Alert, Homeworld and Supreme Commander. Find loot, compose your fleet and use it to face off against other players or the AI in this unique sci-fi experience!
Gameplay
Build an economy, build a base, capture space stations and spawn units to fight the enemy. Stellar Warfare plays very similar to how Red Alert used to play, but with tons of building and unit options!
Loot items to improve ships
Enemies you destroy occasionally drop blueprints for ship frames, weapons or modules. You can use these to modify your units and compose a fleet to defeat your opponents with.

These units can then be bought in-game like you would in a traditional RTS. The big difference is that these units are tailored to your own play-style. Fast raiders, tanky bruisers, building killing sneaky units or swarms of small ships are all possible!
There are currently 60 ship frames, 50 weapons and 25 modules to find which result in over a million possible combinations!
Basebuilding
Power-plants, refineries, turrets, resource enhancers, artillery buildings, repair stations and many more. Choose from over 40 buildings to place & 5 different neutral buildings to capture.
