Description
Endless Sky is a 2D space trading and combat game inspired by the classic Escape Velocity series. Work your way up from a relatively wimpy shuttle, cargo ship, or fighter, to a highly upgraded and customized flagship or to a massive fleet of warships or freighters. Earn money by carrying passengers or cargo, escorting convoys, bounty hunting, or plundering and capturing enemy ships. Take sides in a civil war, or ignore the story line and just enjoy exploring the galaxy and blasting pirates.

The main story line takes about 8-16 hours to play through. The galaxy contains hundreds of star systems and planets, and several alien species with their own unique technologies. You can choose between more than fifty ships and several hundred ship upgrades. A plugin system allows anyone with a text editor and a paint program to create new ships, weapons, or missions, and the galaxy editor can be used to add new star systems and planets.

Endless Sky is free, open source, and cross platform (Windows, Mac, and Linux). Over time, the game universe will expand as contributors add new missions, story lines, alien species, places to explore, sound effects, and artwork.

For more information, please visit the website or read the player's manual.

To try the beta version go to 'Manage Installation' -> 'Configure' -> 'Beta Channels' in GOG Galaxy.

Endless Sky is free software, released under the terms of the GNU GPL version 3 or later. You are free to change and redistribute it.

Best 5star Game FREE

5+ star game!! Tradewinds fans rejoice. This is the best trade management game Ive played. The story is there and doesnt require your playing, just trade and build your fleet. Lots of great writing and puns "i was flying between mars and earth when i seen a strange convertable car drifting thru space?!" Take on the challenge of bounty hunting and be rewarded greatly, with high risk. Trade with large fleets of haulers and beware the pirate skurdge. The artwork and overall interface all work amzingly, and are intuitive. PLUS ITS FREEE!!!!!!

One of the games I've seriously enjoyed

What I liked about this game are: + You can make different choices which will change the story for you + Cool ships and ways to customize them + Interesting story lines to explore + Simple controls and cute 2D graphics + Possibility of creating mods What could be better: - Getting stuck somewhere in a story line because you made a different choice or missed a specific time frame to make it and being unable to get closure for a quest line you've been interested in - More alternative choices and story lines For a free game though, it's pure gold. Overall, I've enjoyed the experience a lot and I'm certain this is a game I would play again and again.

Excellent, well-polished Elite-like!

And you can't beat the price!... Of course, this being an open source project, it is an eternal WIP, but on the other hand it will always be getting richer as people add content. Currently some things are hinted at but not yet fully implemented, but you already get many hours of a well-constructed main campaign, and of course the possibility to do your own thing, be a merchant, a miner, a pirate, a bounty hunter, roaming inside a huge and quite well-filled galaxy. In short, if you liked Elite-likes, this is a must have.

NIce space trading game

Almost like Escape Velocity, need some racing & gambling at the spaceports. Graphics are cool, gameplay has good dynamics. And the jumpdrive sound needs more impact.. by far, it's ok. ah, looking foward for game extensions or plugins in the future. or game tools to create them.

Great game, only one problem.

And.... This. I played this game about 2.000 or 3.000 hours. Story, combat, trade, customization... Plenty of content, frecuent updates, easy to mod... But i don't undertand yet not bringing a spanish version (The second most spoken language in the world, almost nothing). Is the only reason beacuse i put 4 stars, and not five. And well, at this time i used to... By the way, i don't understand also not put a linux version, when this game is on the linux repo since the beginning, and compiling the github version is wrtite "scons".
