Getting around the galaxy
Space is big. In Space Plunder you’ll need to hop between outposts, ships, and your mothership using a mix of cars, hovercraft, and small ships. Each one feels and controls differently.
Vehicle Types
Cars
Built for the ground. Great for crossing large stretches of planet surface with a friend or two.
Hovercrafts
Low-altitude gliders that skim terrain. They self-stabilize, so you can thread canyons and slide along valley floors without wrestling the controls.
Small Ships (Landers)
Your shuttle between the planet and your main ship in orbit. They fly with smooth, jet-like steering and keep your momentum pointed where the nose is, so turns feel clean rather than floaty.
Key Features
Be the pilot or hop in as a passenger.
Vehicles support multiple seats including turret and gunner positions.
Flipped your vehicle?
There’s a Flip Vehicle action to put you back on your wheels.
Vehicles Explode
If a vehicle is destroyed, it can explode, affecting nearby actors.
Cars
High-speed impacts can knock enemies over and deal damage, slow hits just push them aside.
Hover
Hovercrafts auto-dampen sideways drift so you don't keep spinning in circles.
Ships
Ships subtly re-orient your speed toward where you’re pointing, keeping momentum feeling right.
Next Steps and Improvements
Damage & repairs
Repairing health of vehicles, and visual wear.
Variants & upgrades
armor hulls, boosters, and faction-flavored trims.
Seat roles
Gunner turrets, navigator tools, and quick-swap seats.

More camera presets, motion-sickness options, and finer tuning
