Each of these races has its own hull designs and layouts. Additional factions - the Tribe, the Order, the Swarm, the Nomads, the Outcasts, and the Parasites - are also available through downloadable Expansion Packs. There are four main races in the game: The Federation (available from the start), the Rebels, the Alliance, and the Empire. Victories bring the player "Honor," which can be used to unlock hulls, components, and even other races. After each battle, the player can analyze the results in order to tweak ship designs and fleet deployment before fighting again. The game is rather unique among space battle sims in that the player does not actually give any orders during the battle itself rather, the player can only make ship designs, dictate their starting position within the fleet, and modify each ship's AI before unleashing them on the enemy. It was developed by Positech Games in 2009 and is available for download and purchase at their website.
Gratuitous Space Battles is a game about armed conflict taking place beyond any planet's atmosphere without any given reason. A time for honor, for glory, for huge profits for people in the defense industry. Huge war, galaxy-spanning war, where the cries for mercy from the citizens of captured worlds will reverberate around the bridge of your flagship. There will be time for love, time for joy, time for writing that novel you know you have in you somewhere, but this is still not that time. There will be a time for song, time for cakes, time for long afternoon strolls, but this is not that time. There will be a time for peace in the galaxy, where life-forms can skip through the fields and read poetry, unworried by the threat of war, but this is not that time.
