Every aspect of the ship is upgradable and customizable the closest analog that I’ve come across would be Spore’s ship customization, but on a much larger scale. The ship that you control is something that we dub as the ‘‘command ship“ and it’s something that progresses from a small cruiser (imagine the Normandy SR-1 from Mass Effect) to a dreadnought that becomes the center of your empire/democracy. Maximillian Kovtun: The most distinguishing feature of our game is the player’s ability to switch between a third person spaceraft view and a grand RTS viewpoint at will. Rashid Sayed: Tell us a bit about how players can upgrade and customize their space ship? This shared vision is what united us into one studio and it’s how Space Pioneer came into existence. I’ve personally played many games that are set in space and yet none of them accomplished what I wanted to see from a space sim. Maximillian Kovtun: Each member of our team has a vision for what they want to see in a space sim. Rashid Sayed: Where did the idea for Space Pioneer origin from? What will the space ship be like and how does exploration work in the game? How does it fare next to other space sims, especially with games like Star Citizen on the horizon? Most importantly, can we wipe out all life in the space station? Find out below. GamingBolt spoke to Space Enigma Studios founder and director Maximillian Kovtun along with cosmonaut and creative director Aleksandr Lazutkin about Space Pioneer. It’s quite simple in concept, sure, but deceptively complex in its treatment – and make no mistake, there’s a healthy amount of war happening as well. While most space simulations have us flitting about the galaxy, annexing planets and battling inter-galactic pirates, Space Pioneer is more about exploring the nearby celestial bodies and establishing a sustainable life. The engine had its first hot-fire test in December 2020, with a 50-second duration ground test run.It’s not every day you come across real cosmonauts trying to make a space game, but that’s exactly what Space Enigma Studios is trying to do with Space Pioneer.

It is intended to be the main engine for the Tianlong-1 launch vehicle. Tianhuo-3 (TH-3) is a keroxox liquid-bipropellant rocket engine with 30 tonnes-force (66,000 lbf) of thrust. Tianhuo-2 (TH-2) was developed subsequent to Tianhuo-1, with the first hot fire test of the engine was in early 2020. Tianhuo-1 (TH-1) was the initial Space Pioneer rocket engine, with hot-fire ground testing completed before 2020. Tianlong-1 is a kerosene- liquid oxygen ( kerolox) fueled vehicle using the Tianhuo-3 engine, with a payload capacity to low Earth orbit exceeding 3 tonnes (6,600 lb). Both launch vehicles and liquid rocket engines are being designed for reuse. Space Pioneer is developing reusable spaceflight technology rather than the traditional expendable rocket technology developed by the national governments of every spacefaring nation prior to the 2010s, including China. The funds will be used to complete initial development of the Tianlong-1 reusable launch vehicle, a kerolox-propellant vehicle with a payload capacity to orbit exceeding 3 tonnes (6,600 lb), during 2021–22. The company secured US$30 million venture capital funding in a pre-B funding round in July 2021. This was followed in September with a "multiple hundreds of millions of yuan" ( ¥millions RMB) Series A capital raise. In April 2020, the company raised US$14 million in order to complete development of its 30 tf (66,000 lbf) liquid rocket engine Tianhuo-3, which had begun igniter hot fire tests in 2019. The company completed two funding rounds in 2019, including a ZJU Joint Innovation investment, to continue liquid bipropellant engine development of the Tianhou series of rocket engines. Space Pioneer was founded in 2015 by Kang Yonglai
