How Does it Play?

The following is taken from the official Habitat Kickstarter.

Step One - Explore, Discover, and Combine Junk

 * Explore a vast orbital playground: a huge playing field around the earth, from near-earth to the “graveyard” orbits further out.
 * Humanity’s history is yours to use: not just satellites and shuttles, you’ll find and use the structures and vehicles from entire civilizations.
 * Combine and recombine: weld junk together any way you want. Merge and split habitats, even while in flight or in combat.

Step Two - Specialize, Upgrade, and Unlock Tech

 * Special powers, hidden potential: each type of junk has different uses and powers you unlock by attaching and upgrading as part of your habitat.
 * Life and crisis in orbit: manage oxygen, electricity, food and living space for your citizens; and respond creatively as things go wrong in space.
 * Advance and evolve: discover advanced technologies with a full tech tree, and specialize your research to evolve into a spacefaring superpower.

Step Three - Fly, Fight, and Expand your Habitats

 * Just add rockets: every city is a flying city; attach boosters, thrusters, even ICBMs to take your habitats deeper into space with a physics-driven flight simulation.
 * Smash and grab: take on enemy habitats with kinetic orbital weapons you build; find weak spots and tear them apart to salvage their pieces for your own habitat.
 * Your orbital empire: make as many habitats as you want; network them with power transmission, automated defenses, sensor arrays and more to build humanity’s future in orbit.
