❤ Ship Design and Customization

Players can meticulously construct their own warships from the ground up, using a wide variety of customizable parts and blocks. The game allows you to design every aspect of your ships, from the overall hull shape and superstructure, to the precise placement of individual weapons, armor, and other components. This level of control enables players to create highly detailed and unique ship designs, ranging from historical recreations to completely original fantasy vessels. You can also download and use ship designs created by other players through the Steam Workshop, further expanding your design options.

❤ Realistic Physics and Simulation

The game features a sophisticated physics engine that realistically models factors like buoyancy, waves, and the impacts of weapons fire on ship hulls and systems. This realism extends to the combat mechanics, where you must carefully consider factors like armor placement, ammunition types, and firing angles to effectively engage and destroy enemy vessels. Players report that the combat feels satisfying and challenging, more akin to "real" naval warfare than many traditional naval combat games.

❤ Gameplay Modes and Progression

In addition to the detailed ship design, the game offers several different gameplay modes to explore. The "Battle" mode allows you to test your custom ships against AI opponents or other player designs, while the "Gallery" mode lets you inspect and walk around your completed vessels. While the game currently lacks a full narrative campaign, the sandbox-style freedom to experiment with ship designs and participate in freeform naval battles appeals to many players. Planned additions, such as an aircraft carrier system and mission editor, have players excited for the game's future potential.

❤ Community and Mod Support

A significant aspect of the game's appeal is its active and engaged community. Players praise the extensive mod support, which allows you to download and incorporate new ship designs, weapons, and other assets created by other players. The game's Discord server is also highlighted as a valuable resource for providing feedback, accessing updates, and connecting with fellow enthusiasts. The combination of customization, simulation, and community support makes this a compelling experience for players interested in designing and commanding their own unique naval forces.
