Tachyons
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
Ever wanted to play FTL with your friends, as a team, in a coop multiplayer run?
Well basically Tachyon is a multiplayer version of FTL.
But with it's own engine, logic, mechanics and of course some additional features - like being able to leave your ship for example.
Also the game is made to be quite a bit mod-able, so you can create your own multiplayer adventures.
You can host your own local server for a private coop game with your friends. Or you can host an MMO server to roam around hundreds of thousands of sectors with other space pilots.
Tachyon is currently a WIP, so the amount of content is going to grow.
But at the same time all releases are very stable and contain minimal amount of bugs.
