Starshatter™ represents the next generation of space combat simulation games. Starshatter™ extends the gameplay concepts of the classic sims by combining fighter and starship combat in a single game. Starshatter™ also integrates elements of real-time-strategy games by allowing fleet commanders to direct the battle on a tactical level.

* Small Frigates are used for air defense. They can shoot down enemy fighters and torpedoes with rapid fire plasma cannon and interceptor missiles.
* Destroyers are attack platforms that can engage enemy ships one-on-one or in small groups.
* Cruisers are the backbone of the fleet's attack capability. They carry devastating firepower that can effectively engage any size target; even a military battle station.
* Carriers are the cornerstone of the fleet. They deliver fighters and strike ships to the scene of action, and they coordinate the entire battle plan.
