Questions from
the frontier.

No Fixed Orbit is an independent space simulation about building useful ships and deciding what to do with them. Shape a vessel block by block, take the controls, turn raw material into equipment and put worker ships to work.

The current development work focuses on making those systems connect into a practical first loop.

Build and fly a ship. Mine material, refine it and manufacture the parts for your next idea. Fit equipment, test how the ship handles and improve the design. Give worker ships jobs and follow their travel, cargo and deliveries.

The aim is freedom through useful machines: your next step grows from the things you choose to build and the work you choose to organise.

No. It is an early, evolving Windows prototype. Core systems are being implemented and tested; the wider world, final presentation, balance and release plans are still taking shape.

Yes. The prototype uses editable voxel ships with connected block construction, equipment placement and named blueprints. Thruster direction and the space equipment needs affect how a design works.

Build something, take it into flight, then return with a better idea. Reusable layout modules help with the next iteration.

Mining extracts finite material. Refineries process it, fabricators manufacture useful equipment, and physical cargo links connect the machines. Storage, power and heat give the process practical limits.

Making the next part requires actual inputs. The first ship can become the means to build the next one.

Worker jobs involve ships travelling to sources, gathering material, docking, unloading and repeating useful work. Fleet status lets you follow the operation, while remote flight control lets you take the controls when a job needs your hands.

These systems are being tested in small prototype situations. The website does not establish a final fleet-size limit or promise unlimited scale.

The prototype supports assisted flight and optional inertial movement. The arrangement and orientation of a ship’s thrusters matter to its movement.

Combat systems include fitted weapons, component damage, armour and shields. Building, flight, power, heat and equipment decisions are intended to remain connected. These systems and their balance are still in development.

Walking and physical interiors are not part of the current prototype’s established experience. They remain later work. Current interactions focus on ships, flight, construction, machinery and their controls.

The current prototype is a Windows PC build. This preview does not announce other platforms or provide final system requirements.

Early private multiplayer work exists alongside the offline prototype. It is being developed and tested in a limited setting.

That is not a claim of an MMO, a completed public-server service, or proven support for large player counts. Multiplayer scope and capacity need further development and testing.

This website preview does not include a public game download, store purchase or announced release date. It is a first presentation of the project while development continues.

When public access is ready to be announced, this site can provide the relevant information and links.

The Development page explains the current foundations and the questions being worked through. It is the best place in this preview to understand the project’s direction.

No newsletter, public community invitation or account system is attached to this review site.

The media gallery and video posters use temporary concept art to explore atmosphere and composition. The homepage’s blueprint, spacecraft and production scenes are schematic website illustrations.

They are not gameplay captures or promises of final graphics. Real game artwork and footage can replace them later.

The play signs mark where a trailer or feature film would appear. They open a labelled poster and a short explanation because no video footage is attached to this preview.

Tell us what you thought the game was after the first minute, whether the homepage journey was easy to follow, and what made you want to learn more. Anything confusing, hard to read or awkward to use is useful too.

The feedback page gives you a few prompts and a way to keep your notes.
