Ripspace places you in charge of your races space fleet, your charge being to claim systems as the tide opens them up, driving off all other races and claiming the system until the tide again opens the system.

You design your ships from the ground up, placing habitat, engines, drone racks, swarm generators, factories, mass scoops, cargo holds and armour to make your ships fit for battle. The ships are moved on the galactic plane to systems open to the tide. And then battle commences.

It is designed for wargamers rather than RTS gamers, being hex and turned based. It rewards players who plan ship design carefully and coordinate their fleets to gain victory. It is not fast reactions, but careful planning that will gain you victory and crush your enemies before you.

In almost any battle you can always retreat, preserving your precious ships for future conflicts. You will no doubt start to have allies and enemies, other races who you will love to hate. Your ships success rate will be reflected in it's DarkLight, which will effect it's future success. Eventually, some vessels will be fit for Epic Battles to the death, and their fame will spread.
