Star Corp is a multiplayer gaming software that allows players to engage in space-based economic strategy via email. It is designed to simulate economic operations in a virtual environment.
Star Corp is an exciting space economic strategy game where players run their own corporation in the vast expanse of outer space. With the ability to operate starships, build colony facilities, harvest resources from alien worlds, and manufacture goods to keep colonists content, players are sure to never run out of interesting gameplay options.
The Star Corp software is an all-inclusive package that includes a hosted server with an administrative shell program. This enables users to create and edit a game with a comprehensive environment of star systems, planets, asteroids, gas fields, colonies, and starships. Each colony is populated with individuals who have unique needs for goods and services provided by corporations via their facilities or the colony market.
Players can take turns via email and can submit unlimited orders to be processed immediately between game updates. However, they are required to use their time effectively due to the time limitations during gameplay.
The Star Corp software also comes with a graphical client for viewing turn reports, as well as preparing and sending turn orders via email. The client features a tree-based view of all assets owned by a corporation, extensive search mechanisms, starship design capabilities, and the ability to prepare orders to be sent to the appropriate parties.
Requirements for the program include the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and Eclipse. To install, users need to download the binary distribution and unzip it to a convenient directory. A local mySQL database called starcorp must be created, and the server assumes root and no password access to localhost if it's running this database. Changing the database settings is outside the scope of the document, but users can create a copy of sample.server.properties and alter the server.properties file appropriately. To launch the server shell, players can use server.bat for Windows or java -cp -jar StarCorp-server-X.X.X.X.jar (with Xs substituted for the built version).
Overall, Star Corp is a comprehensive and engaging software program for players who love strategic gameplay and outer space exploration.
