Far Company

Co-op space shooter

Far Company is a PC co-op space shooter for one to four players, with a solo option. You run a carrier and its fighters through a hostile sector, taking jobs and fighting your way toward the hunters’ flagship. The crew splits ship duties: one person can helm the carrier, another man the main gun, while others launch fighters or head outside to work on the hull.

The hunters stay five minutes behind you, so route planning has a clock attached. On the sector map, you choose between raiders, salvage, convoys, outposts and traders. Some locations have named hunter aces waiting. Each run ends at the flagship, which uses a tractor beam to pull in your carrier. You then breach the ship, overload its core and escape before it goes.
