Frequently asked questions. If yours is not here, try the search box at the top of the page.
What do I lose if I die?
You do not lose your ship or your loadout. After 5 s you wake up in your unit's station. After level 10 you pay a repair fee (level squared × 10 Credits); if your ship is destroyed, half of your cargo drops into the wreck (your modules and production goods are safe).
Is there a level cap or a ship requirement?
There is no level cap, and no ship, map or skill depends on your level: only the price matters. Level only decides which chapter of the quests is unlocked.
Does picking a unit make me stronger?
No. The ships and weapons of all four units are the same; unit perks are switched off during alpha while we work on them.
Is PvP compulsory?
No. Maps X-1, X-2 and X-3 of every unit are safe; pilots of other units can attack you from X-4 on. The PvP steps in Career can be skipped.
How do I get tier 4 modules (LT-4, RK-4, KJ-4, HJ-4, KG-4)?
They are not sold in the Store. They drop from strong enemies (the longer you hunt, the better the chance) and can come out of the Grand Wormhole Chest at the end of a Wormhole run. LT-4, RK-4 and three generators can also be made in Production from crafted materials and Credits. You can buy all of them from other pilots in the Market (the weekly round of the Black Market also has a tier 4 module).
Do I spend Antimatter?
No. No ammo burns Antimatter.
How many ships are there?
12 ships: 6 progression ships (from Alnilam to Neyra) and 6 end-game ships. How many maps? 77, in three layers.
Can I get Vessarit?
Vessarit is not sold during alpha: it is given as a welcome gift and as an event reward, and at the end of alpha the leader of every ranking category wins 3,500 Vessarit. Nothing in the game needs Vessarit to buy.
Can I play on a phone?
Yes, in the browser; add it to your home screen and you play full screen. Turn the phone sideways.
Is the game finished?
No. Galaxy is in alpha: this is a test period, balance and content may change, and updates come often. Menu → What's new shows the latest changes.
How do I report a bug or send an idea?
From inside the game: Menu → Settings → Support → Report a bug. Choose a bug, a suggestion or a player report; a screenshot of the game screen can be attached if you like. If you cannot log in to your account, write to destek@vessarion.com.
Can I play as a guest?
No. You create a free account (an e-mail, a username and a password) and confirm it with the code sent to your inbox; your pilot and progress then live in that account. Anyone with the link can sign up: there are no invite codes and no waiting list.
What happens if my connection drops?
If your ship drops right after PvP it stays on the map for a short time; in Wormhole your place is kept for 2 minutes. Normally the game tries to reconnect.
Where should I start?
The Career quests (G) guide you step by step; the First 10 minutes guide describes the same order.
