Void Cargo: Equilibrium

Haul cargo. Survive the crisis.

Pilot a physics-driven lander between remote bases on a hostile world. Choose a contract, load the ship, check the fuel estimate, and commit to the flight. Heavy cargo pays more, but needs more thrust and makes every landing harder. Long hauls raise the payout further, if you can afford the fuel and make it all the way. When weather hits or a system fails, complete the delivery with whatever still works.

Commercial freight pays for repairs and upgrades. Special rift offerings keep the world stable. Every flight asks how much risk you can afford.

Fly a machine with weight

Control vertical, lateral, and yaw thrusters from the cockpit. Cargo and fuel add real mass. A heavier ship needs more thrust, takes longer to speed up or slow down, and is less forgiving on approach. Use limited boosters to gain speed or brake hard, or burn regular fuel to counter sideways drift.

Use the navigation display, downward landing camera, and live landing-speed readouts to manage the final approach. If the descent is beyond recovery, deploy the emergency chute. It slows the fall, but damages the ship, disables main thrust, and leaves only limited steering until touchdown.

Choose between optional 3D cockpit instruments and the classic screen-based HUD.

Keep flying when conditions turn hostile

Weather is part of the flight, not scenery. Dust storms and EM squalls cross the landscape. Meteor showers damage systems while you remain airborne. Gravimetric surges force low-flying pilots to climb or land. Rift cyclones can overpower lateral thrust. High-altitude wind rivers can carry you at speed beneath a particle layer that damages exposed hardware.

Hazards can degrade or disable individual thrusters, electronics, lights, and instruments. Emergency repairs may restore a failed system in a weakened state. Land at a base for normal service, or pay more for field repairs after an off-pad landing.

A crash ends the flight, not your progression. Recover at the nearest pad, refuel, and try again.

Choose your next haul

Compare light, medium, and heavy contracts by destination, distance, payout, and estimated fuel demand. Short jobs are safer and pay modestly. Long, heavy hauls pay sharply more, but fuel, repairs, and booster charges all come from the same earnings.

Upgrade thrust, fuel efficiency, tanks, boosters, cargo capacity, and wind resistance, or invest in lower service costs and higher payouts. A larger cargo bay unlocks heavier work and eventually lets you carry multiple contracts. Deploy persistent fuel caches between bases, or chase stray cargo crates when the extra credits are worth the fuel.

Keep the world in equilibrium

Each map has its own stability, which drains while you fly. Lower stability shortens the calm between major events. Ordinary freight earns credits, but only special offerings delivered into lightning rifts restore stability. Heavier offerings buy more time.

Every completed contract awards a Clearance Point. Bearer Record citations award additional points for milestones such as accepted cargo, successful offerings, clean base-to-base flights, and bases reached. Use Clearance Points to unlock new maps, each with its own landscape, bases, and hazards.

Contribution carriers periodically visit permanent anchorages and open temporary cargo terminals, creating new outbound work while they remain overhead.
