Farside

Farside is a space sandbox MMO with real-time ship combat, detailed fitting options and an economy that connects mining, salvaging, exploration, manufacturing and trade. Play solo or with others in a shared galaxy. COMBAT Control your ship’s movement, avoid telegraphed attacks and time your active modules. Range, positioning and tracking affect how well your weapons hit. Smaller ships can evade larger guns, while heavier hulls offer more durability and fitting capacity. Fight NPC crews, take on captains or engage other players. SHIPS AND FITTING Combine weapons, defenses, propulsion and utility modules to build a ship for the job. Every fitting has tradeoffs in space, power consumption and performance. Develop your pilot’s specializations and keep different ships for combat, gathering or hauling. INDUSTRY AND TRADE Mine asteroids, salvage wrecks and recover exploration materials. Use them to manufacture ships and equipment, or sell them through station markets. Move goods between stations, place buy and sell orders and build your own production operation. EXPLORATION Scan for hidden sites and hack caches to recover materials and lore. Temporary wormholes lead to uncharted pockets with combat encounters, resources and environmental hazards. Connections have limited lifetimes and can collapse as ships pass through them. PVP AND SECURITY The Core, Marches and Deep have different rules for aggression and losses. Start in safer space, try privateer combat in the Marches or risk your ship and cargo in the Deep. Corporation wars can expose you to combat and full losses even in otherwise protected regions. FLEETS, CORPORATIONS AND FACTION WARFARE Group up for expeditions and combat, or join a corporation to work toward shared upgrades. Enlist with a faction to contest systems, capture control sites and contribute to an ongoing territorial campaign. Farside is built by a solo developer.
