Starport Delta is a real-time strategy game where players must balance building and expanding a space station with managing resources, station maintenance and resident requirements. For strategy fans who want to build among the stars without worrying which personnel is in charge of lasers, Starport Delta helps you focus on designing and building space stations while dealing with the dangers and rewards of space. Explore new possibilities and maintain your vision with each station you build, while experiencing the universe and the stories of Starport Delta.
Space dangers
Defend attacks from alien pirates that roam the stars looking to harvest materials from unsuspecting prey. Giant space worms may look to devour your station while stellar storms and radiation bursts will require temporary evacuations. When meteor strikes bombard your port, city buildings and spaceships, will you survive?
Engaging Campaign
As the Empire’s governance troubleshooter, you move from station to station, system to system, picking up where understaffed or negligent Commanders have problems with their stations that need fixing. Get resources supplied where they’re needed, cull unneeded expansions and ensure a sustainable supply of materials before you warp to the next station.
Galactic sandbox
You have been given the opportunity to command and expand a space station that will orbit the galaxy, periodically transitioning to different sectors with distinct challenges and resources. What will drive your personal designs? People or profit? Protection or mining?
Unique upgrades
Upgrades to your station happen organically through proximity. Grouping together 3 power plants in a cluster will supply a larger area with power and require less maintenance, as well as linking together their structural integrity. Design your own unique station designs by exploring the variety of different upgrades and the impact they each have.
