Void Destroyer 2

Start with barely a ship, end with an empire.

Void Destroyer 2 is currently a work in progress (including this page) - with Early Access planned for February 2016 and Release in early 2017.
Void Destroyer 2 is a space sandbox game set in a desolate asteroid field. These are dangerous times with many opportunities, for the explorers, the brave, the cunning, and the ruthless.
Chose the path of a mercenary protecting transport ships. The path of a pirate, preying on the weak. A bounty hunter who will settle scores for a price. An entrepreneur, starting your own business as a trader, or a miner. Become a tycoon with others working for you, protect your assets by assigning escorts.
The path to domination isn't always a straight one, if you fight hard enough, smart enough, nothing will stand in your way.
As your wealth grows you'll upgrade your ship, then purchase new ones. Eventually being able to build up a fleet of combat and non-combat ships. What's a fleet without a way to tell them what to do? Void Destroyer 2 has a built in real time strategy (RTS) control method optimized for controlling multiple ships and fleets.

• Time dilation (slow down time) - make time for decisions and tactics.
  
• Missions and events.
  
• Conquer territory and own property.
  
• An engaging story line, with unique missions and boss battles.
  
• Be a pirate, then become a pirate lord.
