Inside The Needle
A whole ship in your hands.
The Needle puts ship command inside a continuous cinematic space opera. The film is connected to a simulation: orders, resources, damage, crew, and the course you choose all matter.
You are responsible for more than firing the weapons. Travel, salvage, repairs, power allocation, and the people aboard the ship form part of the same command experience. The story around you responds to the decisions behind it.
The Needle on SteamKnow your ship
Weapons, shields, hull, equipment, and available resources create interdependent decisions. Stronger protection and greater firepower compete for what the ship can provide.
Think beyond the battle
The next course, a repair, a recruitment decision, or what you recover from a wreck can matter beyond the immediate encounter.
