A free browser game from SpaceNexus
Space Tycoon
Run a space company in a shared 22nd-century solar system: take contracts, build, mine and trade against other players.
No download and no account needed to start. Never pay-to-win.
How it plays
Screenshots from the live game, taken during a first session.
The solar system map: orbital slots in LEO and GEO are finite, and the Moon is the next step out. 
One shared market: events move prices, and the 48-hour outlook is the same for every trader. 
Contracts are the early income: accept the ones your company qualifies for and deliver.
What you do
Start with a working company
Pick a heritage (a launch provider, a telecom operator or a ground network) and your company already earns. Starter contracts pay out while your first builds and ships finish, and a short guide shows the way.
Trade on one shared market
Every player buys and sells on the same live market. Supply and demand move prices, and a public 48-hour outlook shows the events on the way, so reading the market is part of the game.
Grow across the solar system
Research technologies, claim scarce orbital slots in LEO and GEO and reach for the Moon and beyond. Corporations compete on economics: out-build, out-trade and out-research. There is no combat.
Never pay-to-win
Real money never buys resources, money, research speed or any edge over another player. Anything for sale is cosmetic or a convenience, and the commitment is part of the game's public policy.
Space Tycoon is a game. Its companies, shares, markets and credits are fictional, have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for money.
Questions
Is Space Tycoon free?
Yes. It is free to play in your browser, with no download. You can start without an account; a free SpaceNexus account saves your corporation to the cloud so you can carry on from another device.
Is it pay-to-win?
No. Real-money purchases can only be cosmetic or a convenience: never resources, money, research acceleration or exclusive gameplay content. The commitment is written into the game's public policy. Space Tycoon is a game. Its companies, shares, markets and credits are fictional, have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for money.
Do I play against other people?
Yes. Every player trades on the same live market, and corporations are ranked on a public leaderboard. NPC corporations keep the economy running at any hour, so prices move even when few players are online.
Is there combat?
No. Rivalry is economic: you win by producing, trading and researching better than other corporations, never by attacking them.
What do I do in the first few minutes?
Pick a heritage company, accept a starter contract, order your first build and a ship, then try a mining order or a market trade. A first-hour guide walks you through it, and you can skip it at any time.
