Starship Mechanic now on Steam Greenlight

 

 

LONDON, February 22, in the year of our Lord 2016 - Resonance Studios has announced its debut “engineer ‘em up” game Starship Mechanic is now on Steam Greenlight.

A fire alarm is blaring; red lights flashing across your engineering bay. As you rush across the bay to put out the fire creeping ever closer to your communications system, the all too familiar sound of your bow shields taking a hit and subsequently overloading from the enemy frigate’s lasers rings out. The first mate sends a message over the comms “Looks like we have a torpedo incoming on our bow side”. Dropping the fire extinguisher at your feet you sprint back to the bow shields to reboot them; the fire-fighting will have to wait.

A lot of attention is given to the captain of a starship, but not everyone dreams of being Captain Kirk - many of us want to be Scottie. In Starship Mechanic, the captaining is taken care of for you. Instead, it places the focus on you being the most important crew member, the engineer. The captain may be waving his arms around furiously and screaming for more power to the shields, but your batteries are already draining fast and you simply can’t give it any more. It is your choice how to interpret his often frantic and misdirected orders to serve the situation. Do you wire more power from the stern battery to the weapons to take down the enemy scout quicker? Do you adjust the phase of your shields so they take less damage from the incoming hits? Do you turn off your fabricator and stop the hull repair to give the captain more power to the shields? Whatever your decision, you are the fine line between success and failure.

As you manually speed up the reboot process you bring the shields back up just in time to deflect the torpedo. Waiting for the thanks from your crewmates you look across the engineering bay. The communications system is broken, the coffee machine is a smouldering mess and that fire you ignored earlier is reaching inexorably towards your starboard weapons module.
