Vega Strike allows players to explore a vastly dynamic universe where frontiers collide and you're just a pilot trying to make ends meet. How? That's your decision. Vega Strike is designed as a non-linear gaming experience, where you choose what action you want to take.Vega Strike features a dynamic trading economy, allowing your character to operate as a merchant. Discover what trade routes bring in the most profit, what commodities make you the most money given your ship's cargo space limitations, accept cargo missions and learn to avoid areas of danger (repairs eat into your profits!).If you are tired of making money on milk runs, or want to try something different, then there are other paths to success. Vega Strike features a mission generator, providing multiple missions to the experienced (and not so experienced) pilots. Engage in bounty hunts, patrols, battles and escort missions. Feel like travelling? Explore the dynamic universe and see the farthest reaches of known space. Want a walk on the wild side? You could always turn pirate! Just be prepared for the consequences.Your ship just not doing the job you want it to? Vega Strike gives you the ability to purchase from a wide variety of ships capable of doing different jobs. Want to haul cargo? Fight battles? There's a ship for you. Your ship is fully customizable, so if you've got the credit, outfit your craft with the right tools for the job at hand.Have a chat with the bartender or view the news broadcasts to find out what's going on in the universe. While you're there, talk to the fixers, they may have a job that only you can do. But be warned, you never know where it may lead...Vega Strike uses Open GL and runs on Linux, Mac and Windows platforms, though as of July 2021 the Mac and Windows releases are several versions behind. Can be downloaded from the main Vega Strike site or one of updated repositories. | |

Cherry Tapping | |
| Vega Strike (Video Game) / int_10b6b5f7 | comment |
Cherry Tapping: You don't want to kill anything with something like, say, the Grav Thumper, because it's very short range and the explosion of anything worth firing this at and its likeliness of being hit have a good chance to destroy your ship too. So the safest way to use these is one mighty hit point-blank and then finishing off from afar with your missile-popper of choice. The same to a lesser degree applies to Ktek bolts (slow, dissipating, power-hog), Razors (obscenely expensive) and missiles (it's better to use them early on approach). The Plasma Plume. Shields stop it cold. It's ineffective at long ranges. And it's saying something about your ability if you can score a kill with nothing but them. | |

Tactical Rock–Paper–Scissors | |
| Vega Strike (Video Game) / int_28c502f6 | comment |
Tactical Rock–Paper–Scissors: AI roles have tables of priorities and actions that dictate their preferences for engaging each other. When they correctly correspond to stats, AI takes Tactical Rock–Paper–Scissors into account. E.g.: Bomber * (big, sturdy, 4-sector shield, usually multiple Heavy guns, heavy missiles and some lighter weapons) attacks Base/Capital/Carrier > EscortCap > Mine >> turret (any) > Bomber > Interceptor/Fighter/Scavenger >> Shuttle. Fighter: * (fairly durable and fast, carries mostly Medium weapons and missiles; superiority fighters lean toward Glass Cannon type more — much the same with 1-2 Heavy weapons) attacks Interceptor/Fighter/Scavenger > Bomber >> turret (any) >> Shuttle. Interceptor: * (small, maneuverable, 2-sector shield, carries mostly rockets, missiles and Light guns) attacks Bomber > Bomb > Fighter/Scavenger > Interceptor > turrets (any) > Mine >> Heavymissile/Shuttle. Much the same for unit-launching weapons. Missile: Bomber > Bomb/Fighter/Scavenger > Interceptor > Mine/Heavymissile > turret (any) > Shuttle. HeavyMissile: Capital/Carrier > Escortcap > Base > Bomber/Mine >> turret (any) > Shuttle. Bomb: Base > Capital/Carrier > Escortcap; HeavyMissile: Capital/Carrier > Escortcap > Base > Bomber/Mine. Mine: any light craft > Escortcap > Capital/Carrier > Shuttle >> Base. Plus launchable Interceptors. So, missiles and everyone else but another Shuttle, Fighter Turret or Scavenger give shuttles very low priority, even though Llama or Plowshare can be decently armed. | |

Beam Spam: If you have enough space on your ship and enough money in your account, you, too, can have this wonderful form of overkill. With the right ship and tracking equipment, they won't escape. See above picture for more details. Stations with a dozen or so turrets with twin guns are even more flashy. | |

Faster-Than-Light Travel | |
| Vega Strike (Video Game) / int_2af7961 | comment |
Faster-Than-Light Travel: The SPEC drive drive will multiply the engine speed at a rate inverse to the area gravity. Around wormhole anomalies and gravity wells of planets or stations you are limited to your thrusters, but as you move away, the rate of multiplication increases geometrically until you zip around at 100 c. Hyperspace Lanes: Inter-system travel is practicable only via jump points scattered around each system. These are stable wormholes that open between solar systems if a ship is equipped with a jump drive. No Warping Zone: SPEC gradualy grinds to x1.0 speed in vicinity of massive objects and wormhole anomalies. Which is the only reason you can approach capships in the middle of nowhere in reasonable time with current autopilot — as long as they doesn't SPEC themselves. Some ships (such as pirates' destroyer) and stations have enhanced interdiction effect. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Vega Strike (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: The ship you start out with (a Refurbished Llama-class transport you inherited from your Klk'k friend in the backstory) certainly isn't flashy or nice-looking, but with proper upgrades is still a viable ship in the long run, especially if you're just going to be doing cargo runs (its cargo bay can hold 20,000 tonnes of materials, compared to the Plowshare-class transport (which is classified as medium-tier)'s maximum cargo bay capacity of 10,000 tonnes) or running small-scale bounty hunting, clean-sweep/patrol, or rescue missions (it's no starfighter but it can hold its own against most small craft), and it can be outfitted with tractor beams and autotracking with the right mods. | |

Defeat Equals Explosion | |
| Vega Strike (Video Game) / int_471fdb9e | comment |
Defeat Equals Explosion: So far, at least, killed units invariably blow up in a fireball and debris cloud (though these look different depending on what it was). The radius is proportional to the killed unit's size and damage to maximum shields (a roundabout measure of power), so being caught in a capship explosion can be lethal even for ships with strong shields. | |

Hyperspeed Escape | |
| Vega Strike (Video Game) / int_52ab09a1 | comment |
Hyperspeed Escape: Averted. Better hope your engines are fast enough; if you upgraded them and they're not damaged, then you've a good shot of getting away. As long as a planet or jump point is not too close. But don't count on any of the hyperspeed escape routes for a clean getaway — the enemies will follow you, in SPEC, and through jump points, and their mass may be enough to suppress your SPEC drive. With slow enemies it's possible to fly by and get away before they accelerate enough, but they can pursue anyway. | |

Intrepid Merchant | |
| Vega Strike (Video Game) / int_5aa8b4b6 | comment |
Merchant Guild: Intrepid Merchant with guts to supply planets under blockade. LIHW (League of Independent Human Worlds): The Alliance, formed from variety of independents banded together upon the founding of Confederation to avoid being overrun or assimilated. Privateer: Player Character is one of these. Take a Bounty Hunter or Intrepid Merchant career, if you chose to. Purists: Borderline Space Amish — highly conservative especially about non-medical body modifications, but generally keep up and are sort of cool. Their vessels tend to be large, powerful, but have aesthetics and maneuverability of a brick with thrusters. The brick trend is exemplified by Plowshare, square box with cabin and thrusters welded on. The Mighty Glacier trend is exemplified by Pacifier and Admonisher: other folk build superiority fighters by moving from basic fighters up and equip them with a pair of Heavy weapons and one torpedo, but not Purists. They shrink a bomber for greater maneuverability to 1/2 equipment and 1/4 hold volume, yet only slightly decreased hull durability, remove rocket pods, but leave all four Heavy mounts, both Light guns, bays for 3 of 4 torpedo — and triple medium missile magazines. Luddites are the extremist branch and Homeland Security hunting these is recruited also mainly from Purists. Unadorned: Straw Vulcan. | |

Transhuman | |
| Vega Strike (Video Game) / int_5b84f2a | comment |
Transhuman / Human Subspecies has whole factions composed mainly of them (while e.g. Hunters by all accounts include lots of cyborgs, it's not the defining trait): Mechanists — Homo Sapiens Cyberis ("It goes the way of all flesh!") Andolian — Homo Sapiens Pluralis Lightbearers — Homo Sapiens Suprahomo (extinct) Shapers — Homo Sapiens Superioris Spaceborn — Homo Sapiens Cosmonatalis Pro-Human Transhuman — They tend to stick with the rest of the humanity about as much as other factions. In VS history, when Lightbearers uplifted and oppressed aliens, Shapers were indifferent and held them as at least better than Andolians, but the moment variant human (Spaceborn) slavery was discovered, switched from support to hatred. | |

Wide-Open Sandbox: There is no specific plotline to follow; it really is completely wide open. There is the "plot" line of quests — given by non-random fixers (starting with that unshaved lad in the first station's bar). But it can wait until you have a better ship, or be ignored altogether. Though so far not all is scripted anyway. | |

Painfully Slow Projectile | |
| Vega Strike (Video Game) / int_6b6ac319 | comment |
Painfully Slow Projectile: Projectile velocities are averaged by default. If you turn this off gun_speed_adjusted_game_speed, some are really fast and some are really slow. The slowest of them all is Crippler (allows to incapacitate a ship without making a kill), disruptor and Ktek (Rlaan disruptor) bolts. The latter also dissipates very quickly, but by raw Rate of fire X Damage (at point blank range) is the most powerful weapon a light ship can mount. Rlaan "Mini Grav Thumper" weapons are even slower (400 m/s!), but hideously devastating. | |

Space Amish | |
| Vega Strike (Video Game) / int_88f45711 | comment |
Purists: Borderline Space Amish — highly conservative especially about non-medical body modifications, but generally keep up and are sort of cool. Their vessels tend to be large, powerful, but have aesthetics and maneuverability of a brick with thrusters. The brick trend is exemplified by Plowshare, square box with cabin and thrusters welded on. The Mighty Glacier trend is exemplified by Pacifier and Admonisher: other folk build superiority fighters by moving from basic fighters up and equip them with a pair of Heavy weapons and one torpedo, but not Purists. They shrink a bomber for greater maneuverability to 1/2 equipment and 1/4 hold volume, yet only slightly decreased hull durability, remove rocket pods, but leave all four Heavy mounts, both Light guns, bays for 3 of 4 torpedo — and triple medium missile magazines. Luddites are the extremist branch and Homeland Security hunting these is recruited also mainly from Purists. | |

Spacecraft: Attack Drone: 3 major space races have drones launched from some stations and large ships: Human Seaxbane (disabling weapons), Rlaan Hellspawn (strong beams), Aera Porcupine "mines" (shield-piercing shells, explosion). Cool Ship: The beginning Llama ship is not a bad-looking ship at all. Lancelot is state-of-the art in all senses. The price is fittingly outrageous, of course. Anything from light fighters to utiliary capships (Cultivator!) a Shaper developed — or will deign to fly at all — is bound to look pretty cool. Naturally, most playable sub-capships and capships (except Kierkegaard rocket barge and huge shuttles) give you several on-board beam weapons and turrets dealing with missiles or other gnats — and typically look well too. They are among the coolest ships around by definition. And then there are Aera's ships (pictured above)... Rlaan assault ships aren't bad either. Look cool, have good maneuverability and can carry lots of equipment and big weapons. Lancelot is quite fanciful, but if you don't mind lack of missiles, Taizong has same two Heavy main guns and a few lesser mounts, but with more than twice its lateral acceleration (to dodge what shields can't stop), twice its upgrade space (for better shields and reactor they need), more than time and half of its hull durability in case all this was not enough — and is cheaper at that. Eldritch Starship: All those Rlaan fish-ships. Also, Beholder probe. Escape Pod ISO Standard Human Spaceship: At least, factions have their distinctive styles. Shiny-Looking Spaceships: Sometimes — especially Highborn whose interceptors are built in the ways usually reserved for luxury yachts. In others... much less so. Space Mines: Aera mine Porcupine, in fact a small and sluggish Attack Drone that explodes if anything approaches too close. Space Trucker: A lot of these. | |

Kinetic Weapons Are Just Better: Depending on the ship and purpose.

Nuclear Weapons Taboo: None as such.

Of course, there's also a Reaper for Heavy mounts that shoots at 100 RPM smaller, more powerful and more acceleration-tolerant conversion shells. "Fraternal War" loading screen is one Set the World on Fire image — granted, it's called so because no one's particularly happy about it, and "clean" fusion blasts, while leaving some induced radioactivity, are not nearly as bad as a nuke's fallout. | |

Used Future | |
| Vega Strike (Video Game) / int_d0b95b85 | comment |
Used Future: Very much. Sometimes literally so — design of some ships (e.g. Plowshare, Thales) is clearly inspired by Starship Troopers (compare with ships in the trailer) — the one that was clearly made as an insult to Heinlein. This provides "gritty" side just fine. | |

Lead the Target | |
| Vega Strike (Video Game) / int_d2f577a1 | comment |
Vendetta is a fairly good Fighter despite being armed only with light guns because there are 8 of these, with built-in autotracking — of course, that it allows very good reactor and shield counts too. | |

Our Wormholes Are Different: Jump points are effectively locations in space that a jump drive can use to create a wormhole. | |

Fighter: * (fairly durable and fast, carries mostly Medium weapons and missiles; superiority fighters lean toward Glass Cannon type more — much the same with 1-2 Heavy weapons) attacks Interceptor/Fighter/Scavenger > Bomber >> turret (any) >> Shuttle. | |

Humans Are Special | |
| Vega Strike (Video Game) / int_e0207930 | comment |
Humans Are Special: Several factions. Luddites has distinct Manifest Destiny vibe. Shapers see in a very different light dominating with pre-spaceflight aliens and designing human-based slave species. | |

No Warping Zone | |
| Vega Strike (Video Game) / int_ee6fc4e0 | comment |
No Warping Zone: SPEC gradualy grinds to x1.0 speed in vicinity of massive objects and wormhole anomalies. Which is the only reason you can approach capships in the middle of nowhere in reasonable time with current autopilot — as long as they doesn't SPEC themselves. Some ships (such as pirates' destroyer) and stations have enhanced interdiction effect. | |

Aera: Crazy Survivalist/Proud Warrior Race Guy - they have more "stand against the Universe" hair-trigger attitude than "proud warrior" style, but the result is much the same. | |
