01 / PLAYWhat do you do in the game?
The primary route is Holosim, a browser fleet-management simulation rather than the PC 3D ship experience. Its official presentation separates this learning entry from ship ownership, external-wallet setup and high-end hardware.
Choose a name carefully because the help says it cannot later change. Faction determines starting region and allies. Quests then teach the relationship between fleets, resources and objectives; an optional Battle Pass is a separate spending choice.
Holosim does not inherit SAGE mining, crafting or SDU entry conditions, nor the 3D access key. Learn fleet decisions here, then reassess conditions if moving into another mode.
Learn through quests in your faction's starting region.
Manage fleets while exploring and progressing missions.
Holosim centers fleet, resource and objective relationships. Directly piloting a ship in a 3D experience is a different entry. Start with the action you want rather than treating presentation as proof of shared gameplay.
The help moves from name and faction choices to Quests. Faction concerns starting region and allies. Follow how an objective maps to fleet orders; treat the optional Battle Pass as a separate choice.
Learning fleet decisions in Holosim does not satisfy SAGE asset conditions or a 3D access-key requirement. This overview helps readers choose between related entries without merging their participation terms.

Holosim's wallet-connection condition does not apply to SAGE. Keep simulation separate from real-asset economic actions; no external connection does not mean no internal wallet infrastructure.
04 / STARTOfficial entry and participation by edition
These are editorial selection points inferred from official gameplay descriptions. Display order is not a rating; upcoming access and unknown conditions retain their offering scope.
Why compare this game Compare preparing fuel and modules for a ship you take exploring rather than managing a fleet.
Prepare an expedition by fueling your ship and equipping manufactured modules. Set exploration goals around your supplies and the materials you want to bring back.
Why compare this game Compare matching Colonist skills with facilities and allocating resources to crafting and combat rather than space fleets and missions.
Match Colonist skills to facilities and allocate resources to crafting or combat. Treat free-form conversation, cosmetic fabrication and combat preparation as separate purposes and conditions.
The official site distinguishes browser Holosim and SAGE from PC 3D experiences. For fleet strategy, follow Holosim’s tutorial and updates without assuming assets or controls from another experience transfer. Economic volume and technical capacity do not establish the number of retained human players.
