Rogue System delivers a simulation of space exploration and combat grounded in realistic physics. Players manage detailed ship systems that interact and respond to damage, navigate using proper orbital mechanics, and perform repairs during extravehicular activity while switching between vessels. The Core Module offers a full campaign with dynamic and scripted missions for replayability and narrative depth.
This PC simulation suits fans of intricate system management and modding. Communities can expand it with new ships, missions, and campaigns. Note that development paused after the solo developer's 2018 head injury, so it captures the experience as it stands.
** Added by publisher: Development is currently on-hold. As detailed in a Steam community forum post in 2018, the one-man development person suffered a head injury and is yet to return to working on Rogue System. Obviously a purchase at this time is for the experience as it currently stands. **
Rogue System's goal is to depict the possibilities of space exploration and combat within a realistic environment--choosing not to ignore the "science" in science-fiction. Key features do/will include proper orbital mechanics for all objects in space; detailed ship system control, functionality, inter-dependency and damage reaction; and the ability to move freely from one ship to another, EVA, and effect repairs while in flight.
Rogue System’s Core Module (CM) will be a complete campaign-driven sim on its own. It utilizes both dynamic as well as scripted missions to allow for greater replay-ability while telling an intriguing story.
Finally, Rogue System is fully moddable, allowing both DCI as well as the sim’s community to add new ships, missions, and even campaigns.
Later, Extension Modules (EM) will add even more gameplay.
