ðStarShip NFT Game GDD
This document is under construction, it describes a project in development and is being regularly updated.
Introduction to the StarShip NFT Game
Starship NFT Game is a real-time strategy and resource management game where players can send their ships on missions to planets all over the galaxy. Once landing on the planet the player chooses to either mine resources (Kyanite) from the planet or to acquire the planet. By owning a planet, the player gets a passive income in the form of a percentage of what other players mine from the planet. For each ship that a player sends on a mission, there is a chance for an NFT drop, from common all the way up to legendary.
From Phase 1, additional space stations have been deployed into the StarShip universe. More space stations will be added during Phase 2 and beyond. Players have the ability to move between space stations. Each space station gets deployed in the middle of the galaxy, allowing players to access another 10k planets within the maximum travel distance of the space station.
Each ship will require a set of components (NFTs). These can be different rarities, with each type of component adding to the value of the fleet as a whole. The higher the rarity of the player's starships and NFTs, the higher the reward, which comes in the form of the Kyanite mined.
Join thousands of players to find an amazing $50,000 prize in BTC (expected to be introduced in Phase 3),
The current objective of the game is to mine as much $Kyanite as possible. Phase 2 will introduce additional objectives and goals that allow players to get more involved in the Starship universe.

StarShip Game requirements
In order to play StarShip, the player needs to have the following:
BSC wallet
WAX Wallet
11 NFTs per StarShip
A Web browser
Kyanite token (not required to be purchased out of game)
Further information on requirements for creating an account can be found in the StarShip NFT Game Onboarding Guide.
The rarity of the ships will depend on the amount of StarShip token that the player has in their wallet; this is explained further in the StarShip Fleet Rarity section of this document.
StarShip game mechanics
StarShip Fleet Rarity
The dollar value of Starship token held will determine the ships that are allocated to the player; the higher variety of ships brings better rewards within the game.
A valuation is done every hour of the StarShip token. Based on that value, a minimum and a maximum number is set for each level. This is added to a table and can be found here for reference:
The value of the $STARSHIP token in the playerâs wallet will decide in which tier they will sit and consequently which ships will be allocated. The rarity of the ships will be checked and updated when the player logs into the game and will be updated based on the current data, as per the link above.
A fleet consists of three ships. At the start of each phase, an additional fleet will be given to the player. The table below shows the rarity of each of the three ships in each fleet. For example, players who started in Phase 1 will have two fleets (6 ships) when phase 2 starts. If their wallet has a Starship token value between $100-$249.99, they would have two rare ships and four uncommon ships (one rare and two uncommon in each fleet).
*This is limited to the top 20 wallets that hold the most Starship Token.
Starship consumption and trip duration per rarity
All game values depend on two factors and are calculated as a multiplier for Kyanite Gas Consumption per Parsec:
$KYANITE Price: check in Alcor
$KYANITE Circulating Supply
Sheet 2. Data about the value of the Starship fleet depends on Kyanite Gas consumption and trip duration. Data can vary depending on $KYANITE circulant supply and price.
Kyanite Gas ($KYANITE) Consumption Formula
Consumption Kyanite/trip = (Total Consumption) * Parsec
Component NFT consumption bonus depends on all NFT components with consumption bonus NFT equipped in the Starship.
Trip Duration per Parsec Formula
Duration (min)/parsec = (60 * Rarity Multiplier - Components NFT Speed Bonus ) * Parsec
The total component NFT speed bonus depends on a combination of all of the component NFTs that have a speed bonus that are equipped in the StarShip
Player Rewards Formula
Each time a player travels to a planet, this formula calculates the reward based on the distance from the Space Station, the sum of Starship and component NFT consumption and the sum of Starship and component NFT mining bonus per parsec.
Mining Reward = Parsecs *( ((Mining Capacity*) + (Consumption * 2)) * rewardmod)
STARSHIP AND COMPONENTS NFT EFFICIENCY
Each Starship and component NFT will affect the total value in the game. Better rarity offers a better reward on mining or improvement in Starship speed value.
Sheet 3. Data about the Starship efficiency value.
Data can vary depending on $KYANITE circulant supply and price.
Sheet 3. Data about the Components NFT value.
Data can vary depending on $KYANITE circulant supply and price.
Component NFT staking values
Hangar with a Full equipped Legendary Starship.
Testnet resources will vary.
Each slot can be equipped with an NFT purchased in sale packs or on the marketplace at AtomicHub. Once all eleven slots on the starship are complete, two things will happen:
The starships will be able to be deployed from the space station to mine planets; if the planet is not owned it can be conquered for an amount of $KYANITE.
Kyanite Gas ($KYANITE) can be passively stacked if the starship remains idle in the space station; that is, receive a certain amount (see below), depending on the level of NFTs held. Once the claim action is done (once per hour), the player cannot receive anymore Kyanite until the next 60 minutes.
Sheet 4. Staking values based on $KYANITE actual price. Data can vary depending on $KYANITE circulant supply and price. *Disruptor Cannon (Starship Attack Bonus) and Proton Shield (Starship Shield Bonus) will be available on Phase 3.
Staking Forumula
Each Starship Staking Power is calculated based on the sum of all its attached component NFTs.
PLANETS
Overview
When sending ships on missions to planets, there is the option to mine the planet and, if the planet is not owned, to buy the planet.
Each galaxy contains a space station and 10k planets. There are 10 planet types. When a new galaxy is created, the planets are created based on the probability set out below:
Conquer a planet
If a player lands on an unconquered planet, the player's staked Kyanite is used to acquire the planet's NFT. The cost will depend on the current multiplier that is in place. The current multiplier will depend on the current value of the Kyanite token. The base value is the max kyanite pool of the planet and this is multiplied by a factor of X.
The current cost to claim a planet is 500% of the planetâs maximum pool. This value is manually changed when required.
Mine a planet
The amount of Kyanite a player can mine depends on their total storage capacity. 5% of the value of the mined Kyanite goes to the space station owner. If a planet is already owned, another 5% goes to the planet owner.
Transfer ownership of a planet
As planets are NFTs, planet owners can sell their planets on the marketplace. Once the planet is sold, the 5% commission will move over to the new playerâs starship account
Planet Pool size
Each planet has a Max. Kyanite Pool that will be replenished daily at 12am UTC, if a planet is owned. Unowned planet pools refresh every 10 years.
Missions
Each starship has 11 component slots, which are initially empty. The starships are in-game assets and are not NFTs. Each of the 11 slots need to be fitted with a vital component (NFT) that is required for the starship to be able to leave the space station and start a mission.
Each mission has a cost in Kyanite to complete a roundtrip to the desired planet. The cost is proportional to the distance between the starting point and the planet. The greater the distance, the more it will cost.
The different starships can be based at different space stations. The planets that the starship can travel to depend on which space station the starship is docked.
Each starship will need to be sent out separately. The player will have the choice of where to send the starship, assuming enough Kyanite is staked within the game
When sending starships to complete a mission, the console will show information about the planet, including whether it has been mined that day and if it is owned. If the player decides to send their ship to an unconquered planet in order to purchase it, they must get to the planet before any other prospective buyers. Planet purchases are therefore not guaranteed, as another player may purchase it before you arrive.
Note: information such as Kyanite Gas consumption costs and rewards is still in development. A finite pool of Kyanite Gas may exist on planets to prevent bot mining spam.
NFT PACKS
There are currently 5 different packs that are available on Atomic Hub marketplace. WAX can be used to purchase these. When new packs go on sale, they can be purchased for a set price. However, when these either sell out or the sale period has elapsed, they can be bought from players via Atomic Hub:
Phase 1: Emergence - Standard Pack
Phase 1: Emergence - Extended Pack
Phase 1: Emergence - Blackhole - Pluto Alliance
Phase 2: Unity - Extended Pack
Phase 2: Unity - Standard pack
Phase 2: Unity - Sticker 5-pack
Phase 2: Unity - Sticker 10-pack
Phase 2: Unity - Catalyst 5-pack
Phase 2: Unity - Catalyst 10-pack
Phase 1 (Emergence) and Phase 2 (Unity) Packs
The table shows the drop rate of the different rarities; there is a difference between the standard and the extended packs.
Phase 1 - Pluto Alliance Collection (Blackhole)
Promotional illustration for Phase 1 Pluto Alliance BLACKHOLE Collection.
StarShip and the Pluto Alliance share a common goal: Bring NFTs to the masses.
The Pluto Alliance and StarShip partnership aims to increase awareness and adoption of NFTs through a series of campaigns to encourage users to experience the advantages of NFTs and make acquiring them simple and fun. In the coming weeks, the Pluto Alliance and StarShip promotions will invite their communities and would-be investors to step into the realm of collectible and play-to-earn gaming NFTs.
For starters, The Pluto Alliance will receive a customized space station in the StarShip play-to-earn NFT game. Players will gather at these stations to prepare their fleets and chat game strategy, NFT pulls and current game events.
A pre-sale and sale was completed on the 15th November 2021 where a limited number of packs were sold. These can now only be bought on the secondary marketplace. The packs that did not sell at the time were burned.
Link to the now ended NFT drop: https://wax.atomichub.io/drops/85295
Each account was able to buy a maximum of 10 packs. During the sale, 162,912 packs were sold and the remainder (24,588) were burned.
Each pack contains NFTs that can be traded within the Wax Network. The sale or auction of an NFT has a series of fees that are charged directly to the NFTâs seller.
Phase 2 (Unity) - Catalyst 5 and 10 packs
Component NFTs
Overview
StarShips require components (NFTs) to be staked in-game. Without them, their Starships are unable to be sent on missions. Each component has a series of characteristics to make it unique and offer different bonuses that affect the game.
There are currently 11 different types of components (with an additional two to be added in Phase 3) and they come in several levels of rarity (with the more exclusive components providing better in-game statistics).
Flight Control Chair
Cooling System
High-Power Thruster
Secondary Thrusters
Holo-Computer
AI System
Life Support
Shield System
Kyanite Storage

Space Stations
Overview
The Space Station is the nexus of the Starship NFT Game. It is the center of each Galaxy. All players must be in a Space Station in order to manage their fleet and stack Kyanite Gas. Players have the choice to move their ships between Space Stations.
Discover a new daily quest, upon completion of which you will receive a Kyanite Gas bonus and a chance to get a free NFT. The daily quest is global and, once completed, cannot be repeated on another Space Station (to be added in Phase 2).
Players could receive benefits, such as discounts on products that the owner sells outside of the Space Station. This will vary depending on the Space Station owner and will be at their discretion (to be added in Phase 2/3).
Starship NFT Game is a social game. Being in contact with other players to share information or to challenge each other to a race to conquer a planet will be a lot of fun! As such, players have the ability to chat with other participants.
Players can also purchase NFT packs on their favorite Space Stations and hype or tease other players with what they get (to be added in Phase 2/3).
Benefits of owning a Space Station
A Space Station within the Starship game is the starting point for all players to discover new planets. On the launch of the game, only 100 Space Stations (with custom design) will be available.
Space Stations Features:
4 limited custom NFTs (Holographic, Gold, Silver and Bronze). 1 mint per rarity.
Central emblem personalized with the details of the brand. A core element that funnels Kyanite Gas through the entire Space Station.
Color scheme based on the corporate colors of the brand or influencer.
Reach 10,000 planets in the Space Stationâs radius.
Space station owners will receive 5% of all Kyanite Gas mined by every player that takes off from their Space Station.
Audiovisual place for commercials shown on video in loop.
A place for the brand's business that allows linking to a website external to the game.
Own an exclusive category on the StarShip NFT Discord Server with text and voice channel.
How to own/purchase a Space Station
To enquire about owning a Space Station, contact the Starship NFT Game team by email: game@deploystarship.com
Space Station NFTs could be sold on the marketplace however the current design would remain.
Road Map in detail
PHASE 1: Emergence
Live Public Alpha
Phase 1 marks the start of the public live game, when anyone can start playing the game. During this phase there will be many changes to refine gameplay and UI, resolve bugs and implement other elements based on player feedback and to continue making the game more user-friendly, stable and sustainable.
Game mechanics
Game mechanics will be adjusted during this phase based on feedback from both the players and the developers. This is important to improve gameplay and to make the game sustainable in the future.
First fleet
When creating an account during phase 1, the player will get a fleet of 3 ships. At the start of each phase, each player will get a new fleet if they have an existing account before the next phase starts.
These ships will be the same variety of the current fleets and will change dynamically in line with the current value of StarShip held in the playerâs wallet.
Space Stations
This phase will start with three Space Stations and more will be added before phase 2 starts. Each galaxy contains one Space Station at its center, along with 10,000 planets.
The in-game chat room will be added, which will be specific to each Space Station.
NFT drops
When players send ships on missions, an NFT drop will be implemented, giving those ships a chance to receive an NFT.
Combine your component NFTs
This amazing tool allows players and collectors to combine their NFT to produce upgraded NFTs. This allows players to get higher rarity NFTs without requiring an additional purchase on the marketplace.
For example, if you hold eight common engines, you can blend them to upgrade to one uncommon engine. The amount of NFTs used in the blending process will vary.
The blending feature was released at the end of Phase 1. Currently this is done out of the game on the neftyblocks site: https://neftyblocks.com/c/starshipnfts/blends/super/
Although this feature will be available out of the game to start with, it is planned to bring it within the game in Phase 2/3. Kyanite can then be used as part of this transaction/blend and will make Kyanite Gas more useful in the game.
Verified and whitelisted status for âstarshipnftsâ on Atomic Hub marketplace
To support the integrity of the project and protect players by ensuring that they buy from authentic accounts, the official StarShip collection will have verified and whitelisted status on the marketplace.
PHASE 2: Unity
Community goal
In the beginning of this phase, all players work together to complete a long-term progress bar. When the Hyperspace Engine is complete, players will be able to travel to any planet in the universe from any station that has activated a Hyper-Gate.
This campaign has no time limit, but depends on a player's contribution to complete the challenge. When the campaign is over, all players will be notified in-game and on social media of the big event, which will lead to Phase 3: Defiance.
Progress bar graphic reference.
New fleet
A new fleet (3 ships) will be added to the player's inventory - this is only relevant for accounts that were created before phase 2 begins.
These ships will be the same variety of the current fleets and will change dynamically in line with the current value of StarShip held in the playerâs wallet. Additionally, new players may be able to purchase the additional fleet for $KYANITE later in the phase.
PHASE 3: Defiance
FTL Campaign
The FTL Campaign is built! Players can join a new journey to discover a new unexplored galaxy with new planets to conquer. Starships also need to be made aware of the traveling wormhole.
Update your Starships
New component slots in each starship allow players to stake and accumulate more Kyanite Gas for new NFTs. Traveling through wormholes is dangerous, but thereâs nothing a Fontarisâ engineer canât do.
Graphic reference of travel inside a wormhole.
Beginning of $50,000 worth of Bitcoin hidden in a planet campaign
With the construction of a large FTL engine, players have the opportunity to conquer strange and unusual planets. A great exploration campaign begins when players have the chance to win $50,000 worth in Bitcoin.
In the interface, the winning player is immediately notified.
The Starship staff will contact the player in order to send the grand prize to their Bitcoin wallet.
Weekly Chest Event
All players in a Space Station can participate in a free weekly Chest Event with the possibility of receiving an NFT or a major Kyanite Gas Bonus after completing a progress bar. This progress bar is completed with the amount of Kyanite Gas stacked in each Space Station. Each player can simply visit as many Space Stations as they want in order to participate in this event.
New fleet
A new fleet (3 ships) will be added to the playerâs inventory - this is only relevant for accounts that were created before Phase 3 begins.
These ships will be the same variety of the current fleets and will change dynamically in line with the current value of StarShip held in the playerâs wallet.
PHASE 4: Annihilation
Dangerous areas graphic reference. Players will be able to see which areas of the galaxy are under attack.
They can venture to rob enemy ships or avoid them.
Preparing for War
A strange broadcast has been received at an emergency beacon in the new galaxy. The encoding is unknown; it is not natural, but artificial. We may not be aloneâĶ Can someone exist outside of Fontaris? Destroyed starships have been found in some sectors of the galaxy. Players must ready their fleets to prepare for the impending war.
Weapons and shields
Weapons and shields must be added to each starship. You will no longer travel alone. They can attack your fleet at any time. A new tier of NFTs will be available.
Planet NFTs
Planets are under attack! Defend your planets and prevent aliens from looting your resources. Players will be able to add defense NFT components to their planets to ward off enemy forces. When a battle is lost, the planet will receive a Kyanite Gas production penalty for 24 hours.
Campaign: War Mode (PVE Events)
During war events, players will be able to see their starship being attacked and looted if they don't defend it.
Players take the risk of traveling to other planets to receive rewards (Kyanite). Note: if the battle is lost, the playerâs starships will NEVER be destroyed and there is no risk of losing NFTs. The Starship returns to the Space Station where a penalty of Kyanite Gas staking is imposed.
Players will receive a warning on their mission control panel showing which areas of the galaxy they are most at risk of being attacked. Players can risk sending their fleets to loot enemy ships or they can travel to areas with no signs of attack.
War quests
Space Station leaders need more help for StarShip explorers. New quests will be added in Phase 4 with the possibility of obtaining NFT components, such as weapons and shields.
New fleet
A new fleet (3 ships) will be added to the playerâs inventory. This is only relevant for accounts that were created before the start of Phase 4.
These ships will be the same variety of the current fleets and will change dynamically in line with the current value of StarShip held in the playerâs wallet.
