Trading
commodities while sneaking past hostile forces, racing the best pilots
in the area, mining for diamonds, negotiating for survival, spying for a
curious energy company, cleaning dirty solar arrays, transporting an
impatient passenger... and that's just on a Monday. The life of an
independent mercenary is rarely without excitement. At times, you may
choose to work under contract, while at others, you may want to take
matters into your own hands in a quest to build your reputation and
fortune. Your spacecraft awaits. Your adventure begins in the Sapphire
solar system.
In
Evochron, you are free to seek your fortune as an independent mercenary
in an adventure directed by your choices, abilities, and

to the game, forming clans for cooperative goals or remaining solo to
complete objectives on their own in true freeform space-sim gameplay. You
control your destiny in true freeform gameplay with a variety of
activities and objectives to complete. Accept objectives under contract
or make up your own. Customize the look, functionality, and
performance of your ship with the component-based shipyard. Design and
build your ship for the role you want to play. Explore a vast
'seamless' universe without required jump gates or trade lanes to limit

complete more challenging cooperative objectives that can offer much
better pay. Link together to form squads and clans. Venture through
the depths of space across immense nebula clouds, diverse planetary
landscapes, high gravity stars, dangerous black holes, and dark asteroid
caves. Descend into planet atmospheres and fly through rain, snow,
clouds, and turbulence while managing the effects of drag, lift,
friction, and gravity on your ship. Take advantage of planet
resources by mining terrain, recovering surface plants, storing oxygen,
retrieving water, or simply land at cities to browse inventory. Choose
your starting role to begin your adventure. Select from mercenary,
miner/trader, combat pilot, or racer. Your selection determines your
initial wealth and ship configuration. Learn the advanced avionics
and weapon systems to aid in navigation and combat. Use the diverse
