Oolite is a free and open source space trading and combat simulation game where you are the pilot of a spacecraft capable of interstellar travel. Inspired by the classic 8-bit game Elite, it features many similar aspects of gameplay. You can travel to different planetary systems, encounter challenges and embark on missions in a quest for wealth and glory.

Oolite runs on Mac OS X (10.6 or later), Windows (XP or later), and Linux, and does not require the latest hardware except for certain expansion packs. Powered by Objective-C and OpenGL, it is designed as a small game that users can easily pick up, modify and expand.

Features

  • First-person, single-player space trading and combat simulation
  • Earn money by trading goods, collecting bounty on pirates, or become a pirate yourself!
  • Built-in missions and weapons, including missiles and lasers
  • Dogfight style combat with ships
  • Game customization using simple free text and graphics tools
  • Over 500 expansion packs, ranging from minor tweaks to new, giant missions
