Velocity: Vanguard

Commanders pilot customizable ships through solo, cooperative, and competitive missions to explore beyond Sol. Players select factions, crews, ships, and modules before facing asteroids, defense stations, automated enemies, and other hazards. A physics-based movement system uses vector tokens to determine each ship’s direction and distance. During each round, players assign crew to navigation, module, and specialist actions, then activate ships and spend energy to trigger weapons, defenses, scanners, support systems, and other abilities. Missions are completed over a set number of rounds or by achieving specific objectives.
