Space Road: Elite

Trade between star systems. Fight against pirates and alien invaders. Modification of the ship.

In order to jump into another system, you need to fly outside the system. Then select the destination system on the map, within the jump radius, and click the "Jump" button.
To dock at the spaceport, you need to hit it at a low speed.
Trading is the main way to earn credits for the purchase of new equipment. To trade successfully, you need to buy the goods on the spaceport market that it sells. Then transport these goods to the system where they are bought and sell them there.
Information about which products are bought and which are sold in each system is displayed on the map. The pirates' strength is also displayed there.
At first, you should avoid encountering pirates and not visit systems with a force of more than 100, you may not reach the spaceport.
Purchased goods can greatly slow down the ship, so heavy goods (Uranium, Platinum) must be bought with improved equipment and traded between close systems.
The ship's equipment is purchased at the space shipyard.
The ship's hull and all its equipment are divided into 4 dimensional slots I, II, III, IV, each subsequent slot is twice as large as the previous one in terms of characteristics and weight.

To purchase new equipment, select a ship slot, then select the equipment on the shipyard market and click the "Exchange" button. The price difference is shown in parentheses. The equipment is sold and bought at the same price, except for the nuclear battery, which is running out and should be constantly updated.
The activated "Smart Filter" leaves only suitable equipment by type and size for the selected ship slot from the list of the shipyard market.
The "Ship Overview" tab shows what changes will occur if the equipment is exchanged.

It is important to maintain the energy balance of the ship. The generated energy of the reactor must be at least greater than the energy of motion. During intense combat, when the maximum energy is consumed, the battery may run out. Then the energy will be used primarily for movement, and there may not be enough for repairs and shooting.

A hangar allows you to have multiple ships and switch between them. In order to buy a new ship, you need to buy a place in the hangar. Move the old ship there. Then go to the space shipyard, select an empty ship slot and buy a new hull. Then buy or remove the old equipment, if the dimensions match.
If you don't like the new ship, you can sell it at any time by paying back all the credits.

Equipment improvement has several degrees: M - improved once, R - twice, L - three times, X - four times.

Each spaceport has a technical level that determines the initial quality of the equipment and the amount of improved equipment.
The quantity of goods on the market and, accordingly, the rate of exhaustion of the trade route also depends on the technical level.

The galaxy consists of 15x15 squares. Generated randomly. The generation core is selected at the beginning of the game.
