Starflight is a space exploration game. The player
must first form a crew, assign their positions and customize the
spaceship before blasting off from spacedock. Once out into space, the
standard interface allows access to different crew members and
navigation. The entire galaxy is unknown and it's up to the player to
travel to distant planets to explore and land on them. Using a top-down
interface, a planetary lander will venture out with the task of finding
minerals and biological data to transport back to Starport. These
resources can then be used to train crew members and improve the ship.
Different alien races control the galaxy and it will be up to the
player to engage them diplomatically or engage them in combat.
Successful exploration of the galaxy and alien cultures will yield
clues and new leads as to the fate of the Empire.
