About Starpoint Gemini 2

In this sequel to Starpoint Gemini, players will captain their own space ship and roam the galaxy in 3D in this tactical space simulator with tons of RPG depth! Space has never looked so inviting – but images can betray... It has been two years since the end of the second Gemini war, and the situation in the war-torn system is further from resolution than ever before.
Key features:

• Complex, but easy-to-use RPG system, now coupled with dynamic real-time 3D combat.
• Explore the dynamic game world as a whole, rather than through individual maps.
• Use T-Gates, wormholes and rift ways to travel faster around the Gemini System.
• Fifty diverse factions ranging from states and companies to outlaws, locked in a power struggle, with more than 100 commodities to trade or plunder.
• Special revocable licenses acquired from factions offer various bonuses and unlock new options.
• Players can now hire mercenary captains to follow them on their travels and share the same fate, and employ officers to fill key positions on their ship (engineering, navigation, tactical).
• Random missions get generated depending on the player’s actions and allegiances.
• More than 70 unique ships, fully upgradeable with various ship systems, with, amongst other things, visible turrets, and a large arsenal of heavy weapons to blast enemies to pieces.
• Direct ship controls create complete immersion.
• Advanced physics provided by NVIDIA PhysX technology
• Enables modding through Steam Workshop
