Features & Capabilities

Explore strange new worlds. Go where no one has gone before!

Are you a fan of Star Trek or No Man's Sky? What would you do if you had your own starship? Where would you go?

Explore a huge persistent galaxy of one million stars and almost 6 million planets (5,999,792 to be exact). The galaxy is split up into 125 quadrants with each quadrant split into 729 sectors. There's a lot to explore.

Claim stars and planets and make them yours forever. Other starship captains will also see stars and planets that you claim and you will see theirs.

Full 3D universe - fly to any star/planet you see in your view and claim/explore it.

Your mission, as starship captain, is to locate ETI (extraterrestrial intelligence) signals in deep space. Galactic Command has detected the signals and will supply you with quadrant and sector coordinates, but it is up to you to scan the planets and locate the source of the signals.

Each of the one million stars is a unique solar system with a random number of planets and maybe a starbase. Each planet is unique and you can fly your starship down through the planet atmosphere and even land on the planets.

Collect beacons on the planet surface for points/credits/fuel/minerals. Collect all beacons on a planet for an extra reward. Sell your habitable planet discoveries and collected minerals for credits at any starbase. Use credits to upgrade your ship.

Refuel your ship and recharge your life support system by visiting starbases. Just fly to one of the green cubes around the starbase to dock with it.

Land on planets! Your starship will convert to a hovercraft where you can explore the planet surface and collect PODS for big points/fuel/minerals. Discover alien structures on habitable planets.

Build bases on the planets. Bases are saved on the backend server so others can see and use them as well. Planet bases act just like starbases - you can sell resources and upgrade your ship when you dock with one.

This is a game of exploration and discovery, not combat.

Inspired by No Man's Sky, explore a massive persistent procedurally generated universe with a huge number of unique planets on your mobile device.

Device with A12 or higher recommended.

User Reviews

Reviewers generally praise Super Starship 3 for its exploration focus, vast open universe, and relaxing, control-friendly gameplay. However, several common concerns include travel being painfully slow and the progression counters (stars, planets, habitables) not updating consistently, which undermines motivation to continue. A few players also note wish for additional features or settings, but the core experience remains appealing to space-exploration fans.

Pros

Exploration-focused gameplay with a strong emphasis on discovery rather than combat.
Vast space to explore with many planets and star systems, creating a sense of scale.
Relaxing, immersive experience that players report helps them unwind and spend long sessions.
Simple, intuitive controls suitable for casual play.
Noted for lacking pay-to-win mechanics, offering a straightforward exploration experience (per some reviewers).

Cons

Travel time between stars and planets is extremely slow and not easily adjustable by the player.
Progress counters for stars, planets, and habitables can stop incrementing or appear inaccurate, breaking progression.

Recent reviews

Really enjoying. But some of the statistics stopped incrementing in April of 2025, specifically stars, planets, and habitables. No incentive to play now.

The counts for stars and planets stopped incrementing in April 2025. The whole point is to collect stars and planets and if the leaderboard counts are not accurate, it doesn’t make sense to play anymore. I am done unless my counts are corrected. It sure was fun while it lasted, though.
