In Orbital Traffic Controller, you embody the near future role of directing space travel. Vector starships from orbital holding patterns into the deep expanse of the cosmos. Plan ahead for celestial periods before plotting a route, and maintain separation between craft at all times!
Realistically Simulated Solar System
Immerse yourself in a solar system where each planet models its real-life equivalent of a solar year, resulting in dynamic route planning between 9 planetary bodies and a plethora of moons and space stations. Utilize orbital motion around the sun to reduce travel time between transit points, but make sure you have a clear launch trajectory once the planets align!
Sci-Fi Inspiration
Utilize warp drives and stargates to reduce month long journeys to minutes. Bend time and space while getting passengers from point A to point B on time, on budget, and in one piece.
Interstellar Scale
Oversee an interstellar operation, managing stargate lanes while maintaining calm and order within each solar system. Vector spacecraft from stargate arrival to their final destination.
