Starsector (formerly Starfarer) is a top-down single-player indie role-playing game developed and published by Fractal Softworks for PC, with the Alpha released in 2011. Set in the year 3126, the player commands a fleet of spaceships and engages in trade, exploration, and combat in a procedurally generated world.
Reviewers praised the game on release and have continued to do so on every update, calling it a sort of "Mount & Blade: Warband in space".[2] Fractal Softworks have continued to regularly update the game with new ships, weapons, missions and gameplay features.
