The idea

There are five universes, and the physics differ in each one. Not different content — the same formulas with different numbers. Yield, ship speed, energy, build time, hull and shields all change.

	Speed	Yield	Energy	Build time	Hull	Shield
Homespace	100 %	100 %	100 %	100 %	100 %	100 %
Denspace	−45 %	+60 %	−10 %	−15 %	+10 %	−10 %
Voidspace	+90 %	−45 %	100 %	+15 %	−10 %	100 %
Emberspace	+10 %	−15 %	+80 %	100 %	−30 %	+50 %
Coldspace	−30 %	+10 %	−20 %	−40 %	+15 %	−5 %

The consequence is the whole game: the fleet that wins at home is the wrong fleet three jumps out. You reach the other universes through rifts, which are rare and move.

Quotable

„The fleet that wins at home is the wrong fleet three jumps out."
„The shop sells nothing that makes you stronger. Not a ship, not a resource, not an hour."
„Every battle report can be recalculated from its seed — arguments about a fight are decidable here."
