Space Travel2

Your ship includes a standard space craft thruster engine for short trips, as well as a Warp Drive.

There are also "Jump Gates" orbiting each of the known planets: conveniently folding space to enable you to jump to far off star systems.

Space Travel in the Space Game is primarily about jumping from star system to star system: each will have at least one planet that you can build a settlement on, plus a Space Station where you can trade goods and find job contracts. There are 9 star systems that include one or more Gates for traveling between star systems.

The Autopilot button on the left of your screen will bring up more buttons for warp jumping to nearby planets, space stations, or jump gates.

After warping to planets in the 8 base systems, you can select Auto pilot and the same button again to land on it to visit the surface. You will only be able to approach and land on planets you own a land deed for.

After approaching a Space Station, selecting the same autopilot button again will have you dock to explore it's Markets, Contracts, and Ship Yard.

After approaching a Gate, selecting the same Autopilot button will have you "jump" to it's associated star system.

All Jump Gates come in pairs, so are named after the Star System of their matching pair. Star Systems are named after the primary planet in the system. After warping to a nearby star gate, click the "jump to <star system name>" button to travel to that new star system. The map below shows the currently known star systems of The Space Game:

Pressing M in game will bring up a space map with lines showing jump gates between the base 9 systems with jump gates.
