In Lift Off, players will build their own space agency, compete for milestones in space travel, send up the first satellites, mine asteroids, build orbital trading posts, and land on new planets. More complex missions have bigger payoffs but will require more work. Technologies in life support, fuel, and oxygen will also need to be developed prior to missions to improve their chances of success. Lift Off is expected to release in Spring of 2019.
