Build your designs for your own fleet or for a number of clients with different requirements and missions: shuttles or small cargo ships, huge interstellar transports and tankers, police and border patrol vessels, battleships, research vessels, route maintenance ships, colonizers, mining vessels, etc. Apr 29, 2016 Haarlem, The Netherlands – 29 April 2016 – Publisher Iceberg Interactive and developer Coronado Games are pleased to announce they have today launched their starship-building simulation title Starship Corporation (PC) into the Steam Early Access program. Starship Corporation is available for purchase at a price point of $ 19.99 with a 10% discount during the week of launch on Steam. Sep 28, 2010 An open platform for all web games! Get your games in front of thousands of users while monetizing through ads and virtual goods. Find documentation and support to get you started. Upload Your Game; Our Publishing Program. With our publishing program, we can help get your games to millions of users on multiple platforms! A game about building a spaceship. You send your spaceship into space. You’ll get some money for every meter your ship travels. Gathered money will allow you to buy parts for the ship. Big list of vehicle building games. 2D combat airship or land walker builder. There are two freeware 2D spaceship design games I played a long time ago. So, I must be a strange guy. Stranger than other internet strange guys because I do not understand why we don't see any Spaceship building games!!! I mean, sure we see plenty of 4x games where you upgrade components on your ship, or 'research' (cough, unlock) ship designs, but nothing where you can actually build something, something that works?
