The Last Starship

The Last Starship is a 2D space construction game where you design and upgrade your starship. Choose your path: pirate hunter, miner, engineer, spacebus driver, and more, whilst exploring vibrant star systems. Players start with an empty starship hull and fit her out with propulsion, life-support, weapons, and a faster-than-light drive, before blasting off into the galaxy to test their designs against a range of procedurally generated missions. Build a massive asteroid mining operation; rescue civilians from a transport with a critical engine failure, or build an armada and pick a fight with the pirates who plague the galaxy!

  • Build Your Starship: Build the vessel of your dreams or recreate legendary ships from classic sci-fi fiction – players can now upload and share their creations via Steam Workshop.
  • Engage The Enemy: Is your ship a dreadnought of armour and firepower, or a nimble stealth vessel? Hit and run, or hit hard and hit again? Choose your weapons and refine your tactics to survive conflict in deep space.
  • Discover New Stories: A procedurally generated map is ripe for discovery – missions, anomalies, and an array of characters with their own needs and stories are waiting to be uncovered.
  • Manage Your Resources: You'll need oxygen, water, and fuel to survive. But beyond the basics, your control of drones and mining equipment – your organisation of crucial operations – will be key to thriving in the vast darkness of space.
