Question: Are the spaceships going to be airplanes in space or something more realistic?
When inquiring about spaceships and flight, it was revealed that spaceflight would be more realistic, resembling actual space flight (thrust, direction, etc.), and not simply airplanes in space.<ref name="rMMORPG" />


Answer: Spaceflight is already more realistic than that. We debated it a lot though!
 
In the unofficial Stars Reach discord on 30 Aug 2024, Raph Koster further described how space flight might work:
 
:''You take off from a planet, you end up in space. You fly through space. Sail past asteroids. Dodge space spiders. Fly through a plasma cloud and maybe take damage. Find a wormhole. Go through, emerge in a different sector of space. Maybe it has a planet, maybe several, maybe none. You then land on it if there is one.''
 
:''Loading will happen between planet and space, and between space and space in the wormhole.''

When asked if Stars Reach would allow players to fly in space, Playable Worlds CEO, Raph Koster, informed readers of the Reddit AMA that flight is gear-dependent from the ground, but automatic in space. He also warned that things could change.[1]

When inquiring about spaceships and flight, it was revealed that spaceflight would be more realistic, resembling actual space flight (thrust, direction, etc.), and not simply airplanes in space.[1]


In the unofficial Stars Reach discord on 30 Aug 2024, Raph Koster further described how space flight might work:

You take off from a planet, you end up in space. You fly through space. Sail past asteroids. Dodge space spiders. Fly through a plasma cloud and maybe take damage. Find a wormhole. Go through, emerge in a different sector of space. Maybe it has a planet, maybe several, maybe none. You then land on it if there is one.
Loading will happen between planet and space, and between space and space in the wormhole.
