In depth
Tachyon features a free form mission structure, furious space fighter warfare, innovative new weapons, and the most incredible large-scale objects ever seen in a space game. You play one of the best mercenary space-pilots in the Sol system, Jake Logan, featuring Bruce Campbell as the voice of your character. Tachyon features a two-sided storyline that allows you to join as either a part of GalSpan Mega-Corporation or one of the Bora Rebel Settlers.
Exploration-based adventures are made possible through a vastly detailed universe and open-ended mission structure. There are gigantic space stations and colonies for you to explore while you search for rare resources and other items to help you on your quest. You will fly a variety of distinct space ships each with its own cockpit and unique combat characteristics and you can upgrade your ship with a variety of weapons and equipment at any time. Intelligent, non-scripted AI scans unknown ships, assesses threat levels, and prioritizes multiple armament types -- laser, torpedo, and missile-based weapons, to engage you in some of the most furious space combat sequences ever.
