Description:
C: >-
<p>Explore other star systems. Earn money by trading, carrying passengers, or completing missions. Use your earnings to buy a better ship
or to upgrade the weapons and engines on your current one. Blow up pirates. Take sides in a civil war. Or leave human space behind and
hope to find some friendly aliens whose culture is more civilized than your own...</p>
<p>Endless Sky is a sandbox-style space exploration game similar to Elite, Escape Velocity, or Star Control. You start out as the captain
of a tiny spaceship and can choose what to do from there. The game includes a major plot line and many minor missions, but you can choose
whether you want to play through the plot or strike out on your own as a merchant or bounty hunter or explorer.</p>
