The game sets itself apart from arcade flight games by emphasizing the "job" of a pilot:

: The "Frontier" is a world of extreme weather. Pilots must navigate storms and geysers that physically buffet the ship, making every landing a high-stakes maneuver.

: Players start with basic shuttles and work toward massive commercial transporters, with the 2018 updates specifically laying the groundwork for the more complex ship systems seen in the current version. Safety and Content Note
