The long journeyey home

The game begins with the spacecraft taking off from the Earth and heading towards the black hole to study it, and it ends up at the end of the galaxy, without any help from the Earth. He must fly the entire galaxy and many space systems in order to be home again. Before taking off from Earth, the player selects 4 out of 8 crew members. There is an archaeologist, test pilot, engineer, nerd, physicist, observer, director of the corporation, strategist, researcher, astronaut. Each of them will have his own item that he will take to the ship (a crystal skull (which can be sold to traders), tools for repairing the ship, a flower (can be sold to traders)). Each of the crew members will help in their own way in space travel: the test pilot and engineer can repair the ship and install new parts on it. However, each of them has its drawbacks: a test pilot, engineer will not be able to assess the usefulness (or danger) of an object found in ruins (an archaeologist can do this), or a plant (only a botanist can tell how useful or dangerous it is). But the nerd and archaeologist repair the ship very poorly or install new parts on it (they can damage them). After that, the player selects the ship. Ships differ in hull strength, fuel tanks, maximum flight distance, etc. The last one we choose one of the shuttles, which also differ in the strength of the body, the capacity of the fuel tank, the power of the shuttle for drilling, the power of the probe for research. When the ship is in the space system, it can send a shuttle to one of the planets. The shuttle can collect resources on the planets (hydrogen, magnesium, sulfates). On the planets you can find abandoned ruins or local giant plants. Some minerals can refuel the engine. Traveling through the galaxy, you can meet the ships of merchants of various races (Gucct, Consciousness of the vine, caddhast, entropes). You can talk with a trader (traders do not like to talk a lot) and trade (buy or sell something). Glukkty are humanoid creatures, Consciousness vines are living smart plants, entropes robots, caddhastes are very religious insects. In some space systems, there are bases of merchants or pirates (gluccts, entrops, raxacts, meercles) who also trade, sell parts for the ship, can repair the ship, refuel it for travel, and give tasks. You can also meet with the pirates (raksakt race), who will try to rob the player. Pirate ships are small (but larger than the player’s ship) and giant. Pirates have a black market base where you can trade and take tasks.
