A plea... Deanna and I have been running this site since 2008 and lately we're seeing a big increase in users (and cost) but a decline in percentage of users who donate. Our ad-free and junkware-free download site only works if everyone chips in to offset the revenue that ads on other sites bring in. Please donate at the bottom of the page. Every little bit helps. Thank you so much. Sincerely, your Older Geeks: Randy and Deanna Always scroll to the bottom of the page for the main download link. We don't believe in fake/misleading download buttons and tricks. The link is always in the same place. Pioneer v2026-02-03 A realistic open-source space adventure and trading simulator. Pioneer is a realistic, open-source space simulation game inspired by classic titles like Elite, where you explore a vast procedurally generated galaxy set in the year 3200. Starting with a small ship and limited credits, you can trade goods, accept missions, mine asteroids, bounty hunt, explore star systems, or simply chart your own course through thousands of star systems modeled with believable astrophysics. Pioneer emphasizes realism, featuring Newtonian flight mechanics, detailed star systems based on real astronomical data, seamless planet-to-surface transitions without loading screens, and a dynamic economy. Every star system is uniquely generated, complete with space stations, factions, and political systems that influence missions and trade opportunities. Features: Massive procedurally generated galaxy with thousands of star systems Realistic Newtonian flight model and orbital mechanics Seamless transitions from space to planetary surfaces Trading, mining, exploration, combat, and mission-based gameplay Dynamic economy influenced by system politics and factions Multiple ship types with upgradeable equipment and weapons Realistic star maps based on actual astronomical data Mod support and active open-source development community Supported operating systems: Windows 10, Windows 11 Linux Supported languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Polish, Japanese, Chinese Changes: v2026-02-03 02-03-26 Major changes and new features Animate thruster flame (#6204) Add system lawlessness rating to sector map (#6265) Add context-based station economic industries (#6199) Cargo Run custom risk message (#6192) New mission: Find person (#4746) Advice module - Three new advises (#6234) Calculate star colors using Planck's law (#6210) Added 'About' button in Main Menu (#6145) Assassination - minor string improvements and code refactor (#6218) UI of system view reworked (#6173) Improve the follow modes for too far ranges (#6190) Show the return location in the mission list, if available (#6200) UI: target radial support hyperspace clouds (#6180) UI: rework target scanner display (#6181) Redesign Sector Map interface, allow jumping from Sector Map (#6148) Add System and Trade Route Bookmark Interface (#6154) ECM crime - Don't allow ECM use near stations (#5916) Show main mission parameters for regular scoop missions (#6279) Increase the probability of being intercepted by pirates (#6248) Make ships translatable (#6103) Several new tweaks to tame the police (#6128) Add tooltip for pump down buttons on info view (#6193) Allow custom systems to override randomly-generated ones (#6238) Support 'custom_only' key in station.json file (#6153) Bugfixes / Tweaks Fix crime record error on loading saved games (#6268) Fix mapping missions not "failing" if overdue (#6258) Fix Planet layer flicker on zoom, FOV->Radians before Frustum (#6121) Fix bugs in fixed division (#5698) Only add systems once in system search function GetNearbyStarSystemsByName (#6244) Add trailing newlines to model files (#6243) Fix correct temperature display units (#6239) ConfigParser: fix read-past-end-of-string (#6246) Fix payment for delayed Scout mission (#6250) Fix icon for find missing person (#6250) Reduce number of find missing person adverts (#6250) Fix station staff face - only set stationSeed from one place (#6236) Prevent spiky asteroids in random systems (#6209) Correctly capitalize names of goods (#6252) fmt::arg("unit", counter.unit) causes crash, hard code counter.unit (#6256) Fix missing station manager in the lobby of Torvalds station (#6224) Fix wrong station message at starting in space (#6220) Fix game slowdown after jettisoning A LOT of cargo (#6139) Fix crash when weapons fired (#6203) Prevent invoking SDL_PauseAudioDevice when it's already paused (#6156) fix: select correct star for hyperspace target after route planned (#6158) fix: crash in info screen (#6176) SecondHand equipment market: add clearer error messages (#6159) Fix/minor fixes: (un)muting settings, saving settings, UI events, etc. (#6175) Fix hyperspace fuel cheat (#6129) Explore system on game start (#6132) CrewContracts - add onUpdateBB, to spawn new crew with time (#5596) Formatting fixes (#6058) Fix crash jettisoning in player Economy & Trade window (#6276) Fix duplicate faction home systems (#6278) Fix use-after-free with multiple custom system redefinition (#6274) Fix infinite galaxy, remove visible density "blocks" in sector generation (#6273) Pre-release bugfixes, see below (#6282) Fix Equipment rewrite: Market allows to buy yet installed equipment repeatedly (#6182) Fix No warning, confirmation, or criminal charges for selling an occupied passenger cabin (#5954) Fix Unexpected thruster flames on the ship view in the "Ship information" tab (#6272) Fix Input mappings are ignored on master (#6262) Fix Rotation damping and Cruise mode share key mapping (#6263) Fix Crash to desktop when landing on a procedurally generated planet (#6118) Changing seed for Impression to avoid station being partially underground (#6283)      This download is for the Windows version (very bottom of page).
