Tachyons Server Hosting, Explained

What is Tachyons?

New to Tachyons?

What is Tachyons?

Tachyons is a multiplayer spaceship simulation roguelike, where you and your friends take roles as crew on a space ship, battling your way through a randomly generated galaxy, fighting off pirates and alien threats. Fly as one crew on a single ship, or split up across several ships and form a fleet. Board and hijack enemy ships or take them apart for valuables, hack their systems and face a randomized boss on every run.

One Ship, One Crew.

Pilot, fight the guns, fix breaches and put out fires together.

Board and Hijack.

Storm enemy ships, take them over or strip them for parts.

Why rent a server?

What is Tachyons Server Hosting?

A Tachyons dedicated server keeps your galaxy online without a PC left on at home, so your crew can play whenever they like. With Physgun the server installs itself, checks for a new Tachyons version each time it starts, and saves the universe as it runs. You tune universe size, hazards, respawns and combat in the config editor, run the game's commands from the console, and get full file access over SFTP and SSH.

Always Online.

Your galaxy stays up when you log off, so your crew can jump in any time.

Your Rules.

Set the size of the universe and how hard space hits back.
