Shared space — online play on the frontier
Pilots with an account now fly in a shared space. You see each other, trade on one market and fight pirates together, and attacking other pilots has legal consequences.
Pilot leaderboards and public profiles
The site now ranks traders, pirate hunters, rescuers and the most reliable contractors, and every pilot has a public page.
The game and website in four languages
Void Pioneer now speaks Ukrainian, English, Spanish and Polish. The game also gets a top bar that leads back to the website.

What you can do now
Newtonian flight
Momentum is conserved. Assisted mode stabilises the ship with the thrusters it has; inertial mode gives you full control. Cargo makes the ship heavier.
More in the wiki →Trade and scarcity
Every station produces and consumes its own goods. Buying creates scarcity, prices follow the stock, and 3 of the 18 commodities are prohibited.
More in the wiki →Hyperspace
Six systems on the galaxy map. Jump range and fuel use depend on mass. The tunnel of star lines changes colour on the way.
More in the wiki →Factions and law
Four organisations with separate reputations. Your rank sets prices and access to contracts, and security scans your cargo.
More in the wiki →Rescue
Find the SOS signal, hold next to the escape pods and bring the survivors to a station.
More in the wiki →Pirates and combat
Pulse lasers that overheat, a shield over the hull, and ambushes that depend on system security. Bounties and insurance included.
