NewTypes

About

NewTypes lets you build and command your own spacecraft in a strategy-heavy simulator. You manage resources, design ship layouts, and navigate challenges like fuel shortages and alien encounters. Missions range from simple cargo runs to complex exploration tasks. The interface is clean but dense with options for customizing ship modules and crew roles. The game supports VR headsets alongside standard keyboard play. While the 2018 release date means it predates newer space sim trends, its focus on logistics and ship customization still draws a niche audience. Community forums note it’s lighter on story but strong on repeatable mission design. Best suited for players who enjoy methodical planning over action-driven gameplay.
