Dirige una pequeña flota de 3-5 naves por un sector galáctico para cazar a una raza enemiga. Encuentra razas rivales, sus rebeldes, piratas espaciales y puestos avanzados mientras exploras anomalías, campos de asteroides, cometas, nebulosas, soles y agujeros de gusano. Envía sondas de investigación para convertir agujeros de gusano en star lanes de viaje instantáneo, y resuelve la mayoría de los encuentros mediante minijuegos arcade de 15-20 segundos.
Orbita planetas para desplegar landers y recolectar metal, gas, combustible, vida animal, restos de naufragios, ruinas y necrópolis; luego, intercambia tus hallazgos por créditos de raza para comprar o mejorar naves. Ayuda a naves en apuros a cambio de recursos en un sistema de combate que fusiona acción en tiempo real con pausas tácticas para decidir sobre orientación, armas, habilidades especiales, despliegue de cazas, bombas sucias, reparaciones y robo de investigación. Consigue artefactos basados en logros para futuras partidas, ideal para fans de la estrategia y la simulación que disfrutan gestionando flotas y tomando decisiones tácticas precisas.
You're the captain of a small fleet of 3-5 ships. Your mission is to pass through a small sector of the galaxy to hunt down the enemy race. Along the way you will encounter other races along with their associated counterpart rebels. You will also encounter space pirates and pirate outpost. You will explore anomalies, asteroid fields, comets, nebulas, suns and worm holes. Worm holes become star lanes that let you travel greater distances instantly once you have explored them using research probes. Most encounters will result in a small 15-20 second mini arcade game.
While traversing through star systems you will also come across damaged or distressed ships. Helping these ships will grant you precious resources. You must also make orbit around planets and send down your planet lander to explore them. Find metal, gas and fuel resources as well as animal life forms. Some will be dangerous while others not so much. You can also discover shuttle craft crash sites, ancient ruins and military burial grounds. These too provide you will rare items. These can be traded to other friendly races for race credits. You can then use these credits to purchase or upgrade your ships.
Combat is a unique blend of real time with the play stopping while the player or the AI makes tactical decisions. Which way should I face my ship so it won't be flanked?Which weapons should I use and on which enemy ship? When should I use my ships special ability? When should my Fighter Carrier's deploy the fighters? Which enemy ships should I fire at with my Battle Cruisers dirty bombs? What ship should I repair using my Cargo Ship's repair drone? And finally what enemy ship should I target using my Research Vessels Research Drone to allow for the most Research Units to be stolen?
Completing achievements is no longer just a passive thing that has no real impact on the game. Completing them in SFARA earns you special Achievement Based Artifacts that you can use when you start your next game. These are artifacts that can't normally be found while playing the game.
