Evaluation

Starship Corporation launched out of Early Access on May 3, 2018, with a major update that added the campaign mode and marked the game's full release. Five months later, on October 10, 2018, the developer released the Cruise Ships DLC — the game's one and only paid expansion — adding space tourism mechanics, new fuselages, and crew types. This is the only DLC listed for the game, and it has been fully released. On November 8, 2018, the developer (David) posted a note explaining that while they would continue to improve and expand Starship Corporation, they had also begun work on a prototype for an entirely different, smaller game. This post is the last developer communication on record, and while it mentions continued improvement of the game, it reads more as a personal update about a side project than a roadmap for future Starship Corporation content. Looking at the full history, the game saw active development through 2017 and early 2018 (with feature patches, the CyO Update in December 2017, and the Power Update in February 2018), launched fully in May 2018, and shipped its one DLC in October 2018. There have been no further news posts, patches, announced content, or unreleased DLC entries since November 2018 — now over seven years ago. The developer's November 2018 post signals a shift in focus toward a new project, and no subsequent Starship Corporation content has materialized. The game appears to have reached the end of its content development with the Cruise Ships DLC release on October 10, 2018.

About this game

Starship Corporation is a starship-building simulation game in which you must design and build spaceships for a hugely demanding galaxy-wide market. It is you who must decide which technologies to invest in first, where to open new shipyards and where to establish new markets.



Pick the right fuselage and design every little detail about the interior layout of your creations, from the location of the bridge, engines, generators and crew quarters to the position of each elevator, corridor and hatch. Your choices determine your ship’s efficiency, price and performance in deep space.



Gain an intergalactic reputation by training your crew in a series of real-time strategy missions, to simulate emergency or combat situations, and test your vessel’s capabilities to their limit, so that they are ready to face the dangers of outer space, whether clearing routes from asteroids, mining resources, hunting pirates or trading with far-away settlements.



Decide which star systems are the most profitable, and which business relationships are sustainable. The campaign lets you explore peaceful entrepeneurship as well as ruthless war profiteering.
