Super Starship 3
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Android
Explore a MASSIVE persistent universe.
1,000,000 stars, each star with its own solar system.
Almost 6 million planets to discover!
Full 3D universe. Fly your starship to any part of the galaxy and to any planet.
MASSIVE planets with terrain - fly down through the planet atmosphere and see the detailed terrain. Land on planets and build bases and collect planet pods to earn credits for ship upgrades.
Collect beacons on the planet surface by flying through the beams. Beacons offer points, credits, minerals and possibly fuel. Collect all beacons on a planet for extra points/credits.
Dock with starbases to upgrade and refuel your ship.
Land on planets and discover alien structures and build bases. Bases act like starbases, a place where you can dock and upgrade your ship.
You like No Man's Sky? Well, this is not that, but it was inspired by it.
NO PIRATES! This is a mission of peace to map the galaxy for habitable planets to be colonized. Fly to any star you see in your view and explore its solar system without worrying about being attacked.
Persistent universe. All discovered stars and planets are cataloged on the galactic server and remembered. Come back in days, weeks, months to see how the universe has changed. Other captains will see your discovered stars and planets and you will see theirs.

has there been some kind of system crash? I can’t get into the “galaxy“ on either device.
Sometimes there's a hiccup on the server but it usually corrects itself after a bit. These issues are usually out of my control.
thanks
do you have a Facebook page? If not could I start one? Also I think it’s great that you have the monolith idea like 2001 A Space Odyssey
I do not have a Facebook page but feel free to start one
ok If I do it’ll probably be screenshots unless I can think of something to add along with them. Also how do I check the leaderboard?
There should be a trophy icon (Android, PC, MAC) or Game Center icon (iOS). Tap that to pull up the leaderboard.
👍
followed you’re instructions and found a monolith on system 492832 -01 So I build a base to mark the spot
after I pick up a SETI signal do I need to find a physical location? I’m asking because the signal seems to be stronger in a certain direction. For instance I pointed it in the strongest signal direction and let it go for 90 minutes and found nothing. If we could find it w/o being in the hover mode would be great, like putting it under a beacon Driving along at 131 M/S for 90 minutes is a long way.
Sounds like you found a planet with an anomaly. You get full credit for the SETI signal once you scan a planet that has the signal source but an anomaly is a physical object on the planet surface (not necessarily a SETI planet). You have to use your gauges to pinpoint it. One gauge shows how in front of you it is and the other gauge shows you how on top of it you are. It's best to fly and get roughly in the right area and then land and find it.
ok thanks
Are my bases listed somewhere? I can’t remember where I’ve built them. 🤦♂️
Go to COMPUTER then select BASES then at the top you can list bases by MY BASES or ALL BASES. Then tap on any base to plot a course to it.
Thanks
how about an upgrade where you can pick up points from pods and claim buildings while flying slowly at low level?
I’ve got 73,000,000 points. What am I supposed to do with all these points? Can I covert them to credit? Or maybe some kind of cool upgrade
Points are used to rank you on the leaderboards.
ok thanks
btw this is in my opinion the best space exploration sim period.
what do the symbols P Y R mean at the top of the screen?
Pitch, Yaw and Roll
🤦♂️ ok thanks
how do I find SETI signals?
Tap the CURRENT MISSION button and plot a course to the quadrant/sector. Go to each star system in the sector using your local map and scan the planets until you find it. In your local map you can tap a star and plot a course to it. The local map shows only the stars in that sector so one of those star systems will have a planet that is the source of the signal.
👍
ok so I’m wondering how I find the current mission location on the galaxy map. I realize that the auto pilot will take me there although it doesn’t seem to do anything after I’ve laid in the course. Is there a system to the numbers that corresponds to the map?
when you plot a course the location will be marked.. just rotate your ship around until you see the HUD indicator showing the location then fly your ship to it. When you get to the location use your local map to search each star system.
ok very good. Thanks
not sure how to build Star bases that are not on a planet. Any help would be appreciated
Star bases are randomly chosen when the universe is created. You can find them on a map. The star will be a green dot on the map and there will be a star base in the solar system. You can also use the computer to plot a course to the nearest star base.
ok then. Thanks
I’m running this sim on an iPad and iPhone with the same username. Will this create problems with my saved credits and saved solar systems ?
Your discovered stars/planets will be retained but your credits will not carry over. Credits are not saved on the server.
ok thanks
how do I get more credits?
Sell your minerals and discovered habitable planets when you visit starbases.
ok
any chance of an outside view? I’m curious as to what the ship would look like
Hi perhaps in the next version I'll include external ship view. No idea when that will be though.
ok thanks
It is possible to delete my character/save and restart? Also, how do I name my player?
On PC/Mac/Android to rename your player go to the COMPUTER and you should see an option to Change User Name. If it's not there you may have already named your player previously.
What about starting over fresh? Where are save games even stored?
