Download the client

Two pieces: the Pre-CU Core3 client, and the launcher that patches and connects it to the galaxy. Same galaxy your Discord runs on.

Pre-CU Core3 Client

The full game client, patched for the Core3 galaxy.

Setup

  1. Register your account — create your account if you haven't already.
  2. Download the client above and extract the ZIP somewhere with plenty of space.
  3. Install the launcher, extract its ZIP, run the setup file. If Windows SmartScreen appears, choose More info then Run anyway — this is expected for unsigned indie launchers.
  4. Point the launcher at your extracted client folder, let it patch, then hit Play and log in with your new account.

Stuck on setup? The fastest help is Discord — post your launcher log and someone will jump in.
