Design
Build, Fight, Explore
Every ship is assembled block by block, and that layout directly defines mass, thrust, balance, power load, and handling. Heavy, off-center designs fly exactly like they look.
Build / fly / rebuild
Build-to-fly combat where every block matters
VoidMech is a ship-building space-combat sandbox where your block layout directly controls mass, thrust, balance, power load, and handling. Mine ore, dock to unload, and rebuild fast around what you just learned in live fights.
Mission intel
Core systems
Combat
Physics-driven space combat
Weapons, recoil, shield drain, and block destruction feed back into flight performance in real time. Lose thrusters or generators mid-fight and your handling changes immediately.
Loop
Gather-Design-Fight
Mine asteroids for ore, dock at stations to unload, redesign your ship around what you gathered, then take it back out to fight. The loop is short, tactical, and built around fast experimentation.
Known issues
Current notes
- Some UI readouts may overlap at uncommon aspect ratios.
- Rare mission restarts can desync local audio layers.
- Certain high-speed turns may produce temporary camera jitter.
Troubleshooting
If the build fails to launch
- Re-extract the package in a new folder.
- Run as standard user first (avoid restricted install paths).
- Confirm graphics drivers are up to date.
- Submit a bug report with logs and hardware info.
