Getting Started

Welcome to Orbitarion, Commander. Here's how to get started.

1. Create Your Account

Download Orbitarion and create an account using email, Google, or Apple Sign-In.

2. Choose Your Race

Each race has unique strengths. Read about them in the Races guide to choose wisely.

3. Name Your Planet

Pick a name for your planet — this is how other players will know you.

4. First Steps

Once you're in the game:

  1. Research "Basic Sweep Sensors" — this lets you scan for orbitals
  2. Scan for orbitals — orbitals produce resources every tick
  3. Initiate orbitals — assign them to produce titanium, silicon, or uranium
  4. Research "Fighter Operations" — unlock your first ships
  5. Build ships — load them into fleets for attack or defense
  6. Join an alliance — strength in numbers

5. Understanding Ticks

Everything in Orbitarion happens in ticks. One tick every 30 minutes. Between ticks, you plan your moves. When the tick hits, everything resolves simultaneously.
