About the game

Pilot 6174: Orbital Survival is a sci-fi roguelike with an emphasis on realistic orbital mechanics and manual ship control via analog systems. The player operates physical switches, inputs commands, and controls each system manually, rather than using the usual automated interfaces. Navigation is governed by the laws of physics: maneuvers require calculation, and any wrong decision can lead to fuel loss or disaster. Space without the right to make mistakes Travel between objects is based on orbital dynamics: trajectories, gravity, and maneuver windows must be considered. Flight isn't just a matter of movement — it becomes a complex chain of calculations, where resource conservation and route planning are crucial. Long-distance flights take weeks or months, so suspended animation is necessary, recognizing that threats persist. Heat and energy management create a separate pressure. Any active equipment increases the ship's signature, making it detectable. A choice must be made between stealth and combat readiness: retract the radiators and risk overheating, or reveal yourself but maintain control of the systems. Combined with procedurally generated systems, this creates constant tension and the need to adapt. Features of the game Analog control of ship systems. Realistic orbital physics and navigation. Heat and detection system. Procedural star systems and permanent death.
