How co-op works
Friends share an online or LAN campaign galaxy, designing and commanding ships or fleets together. They place weapons, engines, corridors, and crew quarters, take faction contracts, salvage loot, and upgrade designs; in real-time physics combat they coordinate targets and disable specific enemy modules or reactors.
About this game
Cosmoteer puts you in charge of both designing and commanding your own starship from the ground up. You can build vessels piece by piece, manage crew placement and systems, then take your creations into space combat either alone or alongside friends in online co-op missions. The game also supports competitive PvP battles where custom designs face off in thrilling dogfights.

The core loop combines creative engineering with tactical command. You'll position weapon turrets, power grids, shields, and crew quarters to create a balanced warship, then jump into real-time combat where you issue orders, manage energy flow, and respond to hull breaches. Playing with others turns ship design into a shared project and battles into coordinated fleet maneuvers where communication and role division matter.
Multiplayer modes include online co-op, online PvP, and LAN support, letting you team up for campaign-style missions or test your designs against other players. Matches reward both clever engineering and quick tactical thinking, making every session a blend of creativity and teamwork under fire.
