What is Star Rangers?

Star Rangers is an open 'sandbox' set in our local solar system in collaberation with NASA information and incorporating its content. This game has a big emphasis on players focusing on surviving and the goal to thrive on worlds other than Earth.

What is so unique about Star Rangers?

Well, Star Rangers was made with the goal of using a game engine to imagine what space travel in the next few years will look like and build a multiplayer sandbox around it, and the part that makes it unique, to do it without using guns, or at least trying. In today's time, that is a very tall order, but this game definitely has the potential to be a hit in today's society.
