NGC-404
The sector has been cut off from its home world.
Trade routes collapsed. Colonies struggle to survive. Resources are scarce, and decisions shapes the balance of power.
In NGC-404, you lead a faction in a living, fully simulated galaxy. Command a small fleet, build and develop colonies, trade within a fully simulated economy, explore uncharted space in search of ancient artifacts, and fight tactical 2D space battles where logistics matter as much as firepower.
NGC-404 uses procedural generation with a customizable seed, allowing you to create a unique sector layout every time or share a specific sector with others.
Randomized star systems and planetary distribution
Dynamic faction starting positions
Variable resource density and economic balance
Unique exploration opportunities in every play through
A Living, Sector
The sector evolves through systems:
Planets produce resources
Supply and demand dynamically affect prices
Trade routes affects the imports and exports
Shortages destabilize global market
Surpluses crash local markets
Design ships to fit your strategy:
Install energy weapons, kinetic cannons, or missile systems
Configure point-defense to counter incoming threats
Balance firepower and power consumption
Adapt load outs to different combat roles
Engage in real-time tactical 2D space battles where positioning, load outs, and situational awareness determine survival.
Energy weapons, kinetic cannons, and missile systems
Projectile interception and point-defense mechanics
Power management and firing control
Fuel and supply consumption affecting operational range
Ships require fuel to operate, supplies to sustain engagements, and time to recover.
The sector is only partially charted:
Venture beyond established systems and discover:
Unexplored star systems
Resource-rich planets
Derelict stations and abandoned infrastructure
Hidden signals and unknown contacts
Survey planets to assess their viability for colonization.
Secure rare artifacts to gain strategic advantages.
NGC-404 features a dynamic sensor and detection system that determines what you can see - and what remains hidden.
Detection ranges influenced by ship capabilities
Hidden or unidentified contacts
Unknown signals requiring investigation
Hostile forces revealed only within sensor coverage
Play solo or shape the sector together.
NGC-404 supports multiplayer, allowing you to compete or cooperate with friends.
Control separate factions within the same sector
Compete economically or forge alliances
Wage wars over territory and trade routes
Influence the balance of power together
The game supports hot join, players can enter an ongoing campaign without restarting the session, seamlessly integrating into the current state of the galaxy.
Whether you choose cooperation or rivalry, the sector evolves around every decision made by you and your allies
