Celestial Command is a realistic sandbox space game which unites real space flight, real orbital mechanics, and all the fun of classic space action games.

We want to show how games about space actually should look, without silly vacuum friction and the maximum speed limit. As in the real world, everything in this game is in continuous motion in orbit.

Realistic Orbital Mechanic

This game is not about silly vacuum friction and maximum speed limitation. It is about real physics and orbital mechanics like in the real world! Get to know with orbital maneuvering, launching satellites and protecting planets from asteroids.

Fully customizable Ships

You can build your own ship part by part. Each part of the ship is individual, it has own functions and parameters. Therefore, abilities of your ship are completely dependent on the modules from which it is assembled. You can build small explorers, large industrial ships, carriers, defence satellites or whatever you want.

Ship Management

All resources of the ship are limited. Including fuel, energy, ammo and parts for repair, so store them and use them wisely.

Command a Fleet

You are not bound to the single ship. You can build as many ships and space stations as you want. And you can switch between them anytime.

Seamless Star System

Explore a procedural world filled with planets, asteroids, space stations and other fun stuff. The world of the game is completely seamless, you can zoom out from your ship to the whole star system.

Gather Resources

Survey asteroids for useful resources, extract it from planets or salvage wreckage of defeated enemies.

Multistage Production System

The extraction of raw materials is not enough to build a new ship. You need to process raw materials in special facilities to produce parts that are required to construct ship's modules.

Fight the Enemy

Build various types of devices to fight against enemies. Cannons, lasers, rockets, shields and other useful devices.

There you can explore the procedural world, find the resources, build any type of ships or space stations which you want, command your fleet and fight with enemies.

The game is 2D, so it is pretty easy and fun to play, but we implemented unique graphic style, which allows it to look like 3D with modern lighting and effects.

Also, the game has now been in active development, so if you are interested, check out our development blog for new features and future plans.

Update 0.891 Alpha - Planets, crew skills, inventory window, other improvements and fixes

Game Description Image

Another medium size update with some nice and important improvements!
Also we set 25% discount due 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission to the Moon!

CHANGE LOG

Improvements

Planets in aerodynamic mode now located below 0 plane, added stations at the center above planet, added gas giants with its rings.
We decided that possibility to crash into planet in aerodynamic mode does not have too much sense. We have an orbital mode for that, but in aero mode such planet just caused some issues for solar panels and also planets which located below zero plane looks much better from top-down view.
Added passive skills for command officers in command module which improves various systems of a ship
Redesigned window with info about command officer, added icons for skills
Added "Total Cargo Window" which shows all cargo stored in entire ship with possibility to drag and drop all resource from one ship to another
Added oxygen monitor (like food monitor) which displays time for how long oxygen is enough
Solar panels no longer blocked with distant asteroids which located somewhere far away (now it blocked only by obstacles within some distance)
Fuel generator and recycle module no longer have internal inventory, now it will unload produced resources in containers somewhere on the ship
Now you may buy, sell and repair modules on any NPC station (earlier it was illogical that a huge space station can't provide a shipyard services for you)

Small improvements

Added possibility to hire command officers on NPC stations. Interface a bit redesigned.
Starting location now may have only terrestrial or desert type planet (no longer weird lava, oceanic, etc)
Planets of thunderstorm type no longer have unrealistic surface ripple effect
Various rebalance for recipes of modules, overall, cargo containers and structural modules now more affordable
Warp drive 1 in-system warp speed reduced from 0.1 to 0.05 a.u. per second (warp flights were too short)
Star of staring system now have constant (not random) irradiance level
Starting planet now can be only on 2, 3 or 4-rd position from the star (no longer starting on some outer planet with very low star irradiance)
Added info that window with starting hints can be reopened with F1 button
Added info that multiplayer game in non-sandbox mode still in development and could be unstable
Fuel generator crafting speed changed from 0.33 to 0.2
Maximum level of music volume reduced to 30% (it was too loud at 100%)

Fixes

Radar icons of debris no longer displayed on map
Multiplayer: Settings of energy shield now properly synced
Engineering modules in auto mode no longer will try to salvage or repair asteroids
Offset value of energy shield now properly save loaded
When the game on pause, exit to main menu no longer freeze the game
Unavailable gunpowder no longer required for rocket ammunition
Distance to target of selected warp drive now displayed correctly
Warp flight to star no longer teleports a ships right inside the star
Fixed issue with incorrect portrait of character after game loading
