Space Flight
From Unofficial Stars Reach Wiki
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]
