What's unique?Like in most space sandbox games - in Void Destroyer 2 you start with a single ship then work your way up in the world.

Upgrade it and buy better ships to do more dangerous assignments. Hire temporary wing men, then start building your fleet via buying additional ships. Leave fighters behind, upgrade to a gunship, then a corvette, then a frigate, and beyond. As your power grows, so do your opportunities.Fight from the cockpit or bridge of your ship and command your forces via a tactical interface.Branch off into trading and mining, take over a asteroid field and be paid for your protection, or be a ruthless pirate demanding ransom and taking cargo.At some point, the only way to grow your strength will be by taking things from others. Capture ships and build up a fleet capable of taking a base.Owning a base expands your power even further, you can now direct your forces from it, no longer are you tied to a single ship or fleet.Use your base to build defenses, and ships - soon you'll have more than one, and after that you'll have them all.Void Destroyer 2 is a space sandbox game set in a desolate asteroid field.
