Editing Everspace (section)

== Gameplay ==
The goal of the game may sound simple: Reach your destination. However, with every new attempt you will face all-new challenges as the route to your destination and the obstacles you must overcome vary each time you play.

When you start a run, a new course to your destination will be plotted so that it is very unlikely that you will encounter the same setting twice. To survive you will have to adapt to the circumstances at hand:

* Use different tactics when dealing with [[enemies]] - [[cloak]] your ship and sneak past or attack all guns blazing?
* Gather [[resources]] for much-needed repairs in the local asteroid belt or hunt down well-guarded [[traders]] for their precious supplies?
* Explore the mysterious nebula visible in the distance with unknown consequences or stay safe and head straight to the [[Service Station|space station]] for refueling?
* Investigate cosmic anomalies and stellar bodies ([[wormhole]]s, [[Colonials#Colonial_Structures_-_Derelict_Stations|derelict shipwrecks]], hollow asteroids) or don't bother and jump to the next system?

As an ''Everspace'' pilot you need to deal with lots of decisions during your journey. Each and every one will affect how you experience your personal quest to the ultimate goal. Because of this no ''Everspace'' run is like any other.

In order to leave the system and jump to the next one, you will need to gather enough fuel to power up the jump drive and at the same time collect credits and resources to craft items and upgrade your ship.

The mix of persistent progression ([[blueprints]] and [[Credits]]) and temporary progression ([[crafting]] and [[Equipment|equipping]] your ship during a run) combined with an ever-changing universe and a rewarding [[story]] will make you want to start over again and again to eventually reach your final destination.
