The universe is not what it once was. Governments have collapsed; culture and advances have been undermined by the wars. Some planets have joined into loose alliances, not quite a government, but attempt to restore peace and order. Some areas are still wild and lawless, where only the brave venture.
Fortunes can be made, worlds, can be conquered.
Empires will be formed.
You come into (inherited) a small trader, known universally as the Deocron 50, once the staple of trade with in a solar system, but most systems no longer have 2 planets capable of trade, let alone anything worth trading for, or ways to pay for other worldly goods, something, even as simple as food, and water. Taking your family’s small collection of interstellar credits, you set out, to restore the wealth and fame of your ancestors.
Slow, lightly armed and armored, only the fool-hearty set out beyond their star system in a Deocron 50 in search of wealth and fortune.
Although you start with one ship, and can do quite well with a single ship, owning a fleet of ships is the surest way to riches and fame.
The Beta has gone live, and we're ready to add more players. Intersted in giving it a shot? Follow the link HERE for all the info on registering, downloading and playing.
We have a couple of new exciting feautures planned: ship types, ship components, and more details for the planets..
Trading:
Using the cargo space of your ship to buy goods at a low price, and sell them at a higher price at some other planet.
Mining, Refining, and harvesting an unpopulated planet:
Requiring specialized ships, you can collect resources from a planet, turn them into sellable commodities, and sell them at a populated planet.
Collecting Bounties
There's plenty of bad guys in the world, and then there are some people that just aren't liked. Planetary governments place bounties, and other players, wanting someone gone, can place bounties too. Check out who has a price on their head by clicking the bounties tab under news..
Marauding, Pirating, Privateering, and the like
Think you can take out a ship? Don’t think anyone will notice? Commandeer the thing, tow it’s battered hulk to a planet and sell it.
Developed by a commercial software company more as a hobby than by intent, FaReSpa has evolved to this point where the team are happy to open it up for Open BETA. Focusing on providing a framework of asn environment, FaReSpa is heavily intending to build on player created content, with models and ideas being encouraged. Feelling like a snappy 21st century version of Elite, with the huge feel of space, this game has barely been explored by us here. As Yet.
IT's Free, and currently without time limit!
The Far Reaches of Space is free to register, and free to play! Free Players are limited to 5 ships, and a set technology level. More then enough features to learn, play, and enjoy!
