Shiptest is an open source fork of Space Station 13 that replaces the traditional single-station gameplay with multiple player-controlled ships. Instead of being confined to one station, players can design, operate, and explore with their own ships in a shared space environment. The repository contains full source code, assets, and maps to host or develop servers. Shiptest introduces new mechanics around ship construction, navigation, and resource management, creating a sandbox that emphasizes exploration and collaboration. Its modular design allows for diverse playstyles, from engineering and trade to combat and survival. The project is actively updated by its community, pushing SS13 gameplay in a fresh, experimental direction.
