The Last Starship

The Last Starship is a 2D space construction and simulation game, where you design and upgrade your own star ship. Use it to explore vibrant star systems, uncover unique resources, and discover hidden secrets. Your choices shape your experience — become a daring pirate hunter, a resourceful miner, a space engineer, a reliable spacebus driver, and more! Dive into colorful star systems in this ever-expanding sandbox environment, and enjoy regular free updates throughout the development process. Your journey through the cosmos is just beginning!

With your crew awaiting orders, it’s time to bring your starship to life. Build the vessel of your wildest imagination, or recreate legendary ships from iconic movies and fiction. Stop by the local space colony to gather equipment and supplies. Start with a reactor to power your engines, and then lay down crucial pipework and electrical systems. Keep life support steady, or your journey may be cut short.

Unleash the full potential of our community’s creativity through ship sharing on the Steam Workshop. If you can envision it, you can design it, share it, and let others engage in epic adventures and battles with your creation.

Take full command of your starship’s arsenal. Will you mount lasers for precision shots, or railguns for devastating impact? Do you favor heavier armor for resilience, or enhanced agility to outmaneuver foes? Opt for stealth to slip by unnoticed, or load up on raw firepower to dominate the battlefield. The Last Starship isn’t just about firepower; it’s a test of tactical thinking, where each encounter demands careful planning, adaptability, and precise strikes.

The sector map opens the gateway to a vibrant, procedurally generated universe brimming with missions, anomalies, and unexpected discoveries. Meet a diverse array of characters — some allies, some adversaries — each with their own compelling stories and requests for help. Embark on daring rescues, deliver vital cargo, or hunt down notorious pirates. Every decision you make shapes your path, carving your unique journey through an ever-changing galaxy full of wonder and peril.

Space is cold, dark, and vast. To survive, you must gather essential resources — water, oxygen, and fuel — to maintain your ships and sustain your crew. Whether you’re deploying drones for space wreck salvage, or using lasers to extract raw materials for a massive mining rig, establishing a seamless operation is crucial. Only then, can you secure the resources needed to thrive in the depths of space.

The Last Starship is the latest creation from acclaimed indie developer, Introversion Software, best known for the BAFTA winning game, Prison Architect. Currently in Early Access, the game is being updated regularly, with new missions, bug fixes, and gameplay enhancements, based on your feedback. Your support helps shape our vision, and once you purchase, we promise never to charge for future updates.

Introversion Software has been developing games since 2001, and stands behind acclaimed titles like Uplink, Darwinia, DEFCON, Multiwinia, and Scanner Sombre. Our most successful game, Prison Architect, launched into early access in 2012, captivated over four million players, and over a 6 year span, received 54 major content updates — averaging one per month.

We are replicating this development approach for The Last Starship during its Early Access phase, with regular, free content updates over the coming years. Drawing inspiration from iconic franchises such as Star Trek, Star Wars, and Battlestar Galactica, as well as games like Factorio and Kerbal Space Program, we believe that blending these concepts into an Introversion game, will lead to something truly extraordinary.
