A space strategy game that starts with your planet
In Embercraft Space, you command an empire from your browser. Before choosing your first target, you build the economy that will support your ambitions. Every project asks you to decide where your resources will make the greatest difference.

Metal supports your installations and ships, crystal supplies components and research, and deuterium is needed for fleet travel among other uses. Each resource has its own storage building. Check the cost of your next objective before expanding production: a large metal reserve will not solve a shortage of crystal that is holding back a research project.
Prepare for your next visit
Construction, research and journeys continue when you close the browser tab. Resource production continues up to storage capacity. Separate building, fleet, defense and research queues help you follow each kind of project. Before leaving, check completion times and reserves. When you return, your empire overview helps you decide which finished project opens up the most useful next step.
Balance expansion with operations
Industrial upgrades, new technologies and ships draw on the same reserves. You can develop planets, attack hostile bases, enter abandoned stations or prepare a battle with another commander. For fleet missions, distance, fuel and cargo space matter alongside combat strength. Use the simulator to consider an engagement before committing the ships that your economy has spent time assembling.
Find your place among other commanders
Alliances provide a place for discussion, shared projects and coordinated operations. The market also allows commanders to trade resources or ships. These systems let you combine economic development, trade and military activity rather than following a single sequence of battles. Pick a practical objective, then adjust it as reports arrive and you learn more about the players around you.
