Starship Adventure

What is Starship Adventure?

We are a space technology company that provides starships and avatars for you to explore the universe alone or with friends from the safety of your home computer.

How much will Starship Adventure cost?

Development and servers are expensive but we are doing everything we can to make hyperspace-capable starships affordable to everyone. We are only bound by our terrestrial budget and resources.

If you would like to join the effort let us know.

What universe does Starship Adventure happen in?

This is all happening right here and right now, in our universe.

Is Starship Adventure a game?

Starship Adventure is an experience but you can make it a game by taking on challenges as you explore.

Can I walk around on the moon at the Apollo 11 landing site?

While traveling in our solar system your starship is bound by the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, so you cannot contaminate areas of historical or scientific significance. Once you leave our system you are free to explore wherever Starship Adventure has set up a spaceport.

How are your starships possible?

Our technology would best be described as science fiction fantasy. By controlling a cybernetic android you will walk on the deck of a hyperspace capable starship with artificial gravity, transmit data instantaneously across the universe bound only by your internet speed and CPU/GPU. Unfortunately we cannot import this technology to Earth at this time without provoking a technological singularity. We look forward to seeing where you go.

“A still more glorious dawn awaits… not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise”

When will Starship Adventure be available?

The Zeroth Research & Development team is working around the sun to get Earthlings into starships. We are still in early development so check back here for updates.

Join the mailing list to find out when your starship arrives. We use Survey Monkey to collect email addresses and WordPress to serve our data, but we will never sell your data to anyone.

Is adventuring in space safe?

You will remain safely on Earth while you remotely explore space through the eyes and ears of your avatar. This personalized cybernetic android can be equipped to face whatever dangers you might find and can be replaced by another avatar whenever needed. Spawn tanks are conveniently placed throughout your starship and refill with a biological gel that can be found at any spaceport.

Why aren’t avatars controlled by AI?

There are bots aboard starships that can carry out tasks with limited behavior algorithms, but their cognitive abilities are tethered so that your unique decisions and curiosity guide your adventure. We look forward to seeing where you go.

What if my starship blows up?

Your crew will temporarily lose access to your avatars while a replacement starship is prepared free-of-charge at a designated Starship Adventure spaceport. The closest authorized spaceport to Earth is Zeroth, currently orbiting Mars to monitor active missions by JPL and NASA. More spaceports in our solar system and abroad are scheduled to open to the public in the future.

How can Starship Adventure afford to provide every Earthling with a starship?

As an intergalactic space technology company we have access to resources that go well beyond the planetary resources of Earth. Heavy rare elements stream from massive supernovae resulting in a wealth of materials that make our economy value human experience above all else. Due to regulations we cannot spend these resources on Earth.

What system can I use to operate my starship?

Estimated System Requirements:

Windows 7/8/10 64-bit or Mac OSX High Sierra
Nvidia GTX 660 or AMD Radeon HD 7870 equivalent DX11 GPU
2 GB VRAM
Core i5 2.8 Ghz
8 GB RAM

Minimum System Requirements:

Intel HD 4000
Core i3 2.4 Ghz
8 GB RAM

Linux support is in the works, as well as consoles and touch devices.

Do I need a Virtual Reality headset?

You do not need any special interface to control your avatar beyond the default controls of a standard keyboard and mouse. Specialized computer interfaces such as VR gear, flight stick, or a team chat headset may enhance your experience.

How can I join Starship Adventure?

If you would like to operate this starship together then contact us and join the crew. We are looking for volunteers who want to make something special happen. If you’re looking for paid work then keep us in mind when we can finally import a platinum asteroid into the atmosphere.
