SpaceCorps 2027 0.3.4 gives every item a real 3D model, with its icon rendered from it. You can resize every window in flight from any side or corner, so the Game Log can grow as tall as you like, and the minimap shows the pilots of your own company in green.

The game plays on the public server https://spacecorps-game.sliplane.app. Your pilot, ships, items, credits, clan and world carry over.

What's new

New item art

  • Every item now has a real 3D model, and its icon is a render of that model. The flat drawn icons are gone from the hangar, shop, fusion (Assembly), Galaxy Gates, cargo, hotbar, item tooltips and the wiki's item tables.
  • Items of the same family share a look, and tiers read at a glance: higher tiers get more parts, more tick lights on the item and a darker, polished finish. Mark II boosters have twin chambers, fins and two lights.
  • Laser ammo colours now match the lasers you see in flight: x1 red, x2 green, x3 blue, x4 magenta.
  • Repair drones share one green repair colour; their tier shows in their arms and lights.
  • The frame around an item still shows its rarity and fusion level exactly as before.

Windows in flight

  • Drag any side or corner of a window to resize it, not only the bottom-right corner. The pointer shows the resize arrows over a window's edges.
  • The Game Log grows vertically. Drag its top edge up to make it taller over the minimap, or its bottom edge down. Before, dragging it taller did nothing until enough lines had come in.
  • The Game Log, Boosters and Active Quests hug their contents until you resize them. After that they keep the size you chose, also on your next flight, and longer contents scroll.
  • Chat grows upward when you drag its top edge.

Minimap

  • Pilots of your own company show as green squares. Before, every other pilot was red like the aliens. Aliens and pilots of other companies stay red.

Updating

  • From 0.2.1 or later: the game downloads 0.3.4 by itself. Click Restart to Update, or quit the game, and it installs. If you installed the game with Hangar, Hangar updates it.
  • From 0.2.0: download it once from the download page and replace the old app or folder.

Platforms

Package For
SpaceCorps2027-macos-universal.dmg macOS 12 Monterey or later, Apple silicon and Intel
SpaceCorps2027-windows-x86_64.zip Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit
SpaceCorps2027-linux-x86_64.AppImage Linux x86_64, glibc 2.35 or newer (Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, Fedora 36 and later), Vulkan
SpaceCorps2027-linux-x86_64.tar.gz the same Linux build, as a folder to unpack

Graphics need Metal (macOS), DirectX 12 or Vulkan (Windows), or Vulkan (Linux, Mesa 22 or a vendor driver). The game needs 4 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended) and 400 MB of free disk space.

First launch

The builds are not signed by Apple or Microsoft yet, so on a first install your system asks once before it opens the game. Updates the game installs itself don't ask again.

  • macOS: open the dmg and drag SpaceCorps 2027 onto Applications.
    • macOS 15 and newer: open the app once and click Done. Then go to System Settings › Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway next to "SpaceCorps 2027 was blocked".
    • macOS 12 to 14: right-click (Control-click) the app, choose Open, then Open again.
  • Windows: right-click the zip, choose Extract All, and start spacecorps2027.exe from the SpaceCorps 2027 folder. The assets folder must stay next to it. If SmartScreen says it "protected your PC", click More info, then Run anyway.
  • Linux: run chmod +x SpaceCorps2027-linux-x86_64.AppImage, then start it. Or unpack the tar.gz and start SpaceCorps2027/spacecorps2027.

Known issues

  • The builds are unsigned, so macOS Gatekeeper and Windows SmartScreen warn on a first install (see above).
  • On 0.3.3 and older, the minimap still shows your company's pilots in red. Update to see them in green.
  • There is one public game server with limited capacity. It may restart for updates, and your ship is saved when it does.
