Starflight 2: Trade Routes of the Cloud Nebula is a classic space exploration role-playing game that expands upon the ambitious foundation of the original Starflight. Set in a vast, procedurally generated universe, the game places players in command of a starship tasked with exploration, diplomacy, and survival. Traveling between star systems, players discover new planets, encounter alien species, and uncover an overarching mystery that threatens the stability of the galaxy.
Gameplay blends open-ended exploration with strategic resource management. Players must balance fuel, crew morale, ship upgrades, and trade goods while deciding which worlds to survey and which alien civilizations to engage diplomatically—or antagonize. Turn-based ship combat adds tension to deep-space encounters, while conversations with alien races feature branching dialogue that can dramatically alter relationships and story outcomes. Known for its depth, freedom, and sense of discovery, Starflight 2 remains a landmark title in science-fiction RPG history and a must-play for fans of classic space adventures.
