• Play with up to 125 pilots in the same arena simultaneously!


• Choose or make your own personal or squad banner to fly with.



• Easily customizeable for the modding, skinning, and mapping communities.


• One download
  gives you dozens of different zones (8 SSS Zones + others you can add)
  to choose from with different objectives and styles of play.


• Alpha Zone
  — otherwise known as Alpha zone, is one of the two original zones from
  1996. It was designated as a zone for new players to get a grip on the
  basic elements of flying. No objective, just fly around and
  kill....master your ability to control your ship is the main objective
  of Alpha.


• Chaos/League — This is the first of
  the SSS megazones and comprises many different game arenas into a
  single zone. The hope is that all SSS zones can someday share the same
  roof. The breakdown is as follows:





• Chaos Zone
  — (Main Arena) This is where Subspace all began. Also known as Chaos
  Expert; it is a natural progression from Alpha for more experienced
  pilots. The goal is to kill and not be killed. Fly lone-wolf, in a
  swarm, or on a turret to compete in the bi-weekly Reset Winners
  Competition, the biannual Pilot/Squad Rankings, or just for the hell of
  it. There is also a weekly Chaos League event with dozens of squads
  competing simultaneously as well as a monthly solo pilot tournament.


• Dueling Zone
  — This is a hybrid zone comprising a large free-for-all dueling arena
  and many leagues in subarenas. Dueling zone focuses on bare-knuckle
  one-on-one fighting There are is also a Gladiator (3v3) League, Dueling
  (1v1) Ladder, and a 2v2 Dueling League.


• Premier League
  — Premier League (three skill divisions) 4 versus 4 competition is
  considered by all to be the highest level of team combat competition in
  Subspace/Continuum. Practices are held throughout the week with dozens
  of matches taking place every Sunday. Matches are 45 minutes long and
  each of the 4 starters (and their subs) get 3 lives. A sophisticated
  ranking system is employed that tracks stats such as assists, damage
  efficiency, clutch kills and chokes.



• Gladiator/2v2 Leagues
  — Gladiator is 3v3 league. Both these leagues are variants of Premier
  league but are faster-paced and more geared towards individual skills
  and/or close-range combat.




• Warzone CTF
  — Alpha/Chaos zone with a twist. It is a capture-the-flag type zone
  where teamwork comes into play a lot more often. There are two teams
  and your team must get all 8 flags and hold them for 60 seconds for the
  win.


• A Small Warzone — This zone isn't
  technically SSS settings but the premise, speed, and balance of ships
  are all close enough that many SSS pilots are known to play here. The
  goal of this zone is the same as Warzone CTF but there are more than
  two teams competing and only 5 flags to capture, but the catch is that
  each pilot can carry only one flag.



• Turf Zone Arizona — This zone is similar to Warzone, but
  more defense-oriented. There are 200 stationary flags that you have to
  control. The more your team owns the more points you get. The radar system
  even shows which teams control which areas.


• Powerball Zone
  — Warbirds vs Javelins in the Subspace version of Soccer. Pick up and
  pass the powerball from one end of the arena to the other while evading
  deadly enemy attacks to score goals for your team.


• Hockey Zone
  — A refreshing change from pure killing zones, Hockey Zone has unique
  settings that emulate NHL-style hockey, facilitating the ability to put
  innovative moves on your opponents. The zone emphasizes teamwork in a
  6v6
  battle to score more goals than your opponent as they try to stop you.
  Although the zone is mainly hockey, it is the home of all sports in
  Subspace. It is also the home to some ultra-competitive leagues.
