Find wormholes for quick travel or use your Corporations warp beacons to get back to your home base fast.

Corporations control the Aquila system. Join a Corporation and claim sectors as your own, build auxiliary buildings to support trade, mining, or defense efforts. Corporations can set wages that are paid out to players based on the corporation's income from its owned sectors. Wage wars against other corporations or create alliances to band together and support trade.

Become a miner and head out across the Aquila system to gather ores, there are over 20 types of raw ores to discover and trade. Loot and salvage wrecks for equipment and research fragments, or deconstruct whole wreaks to gather raw minerals.

The Aquila system has two markets, the main market provided by AQSEC and TITAN where players can buy and sells all kinds of goods, you can even make a profit shipping goods between sectors based on real-time demands ( Have the corporations not built enough orbital farms, then ship some food! ) The Black market is a player to player market allowing you to sell anything you own, maybe you have crafted some decent weapons, or you want to sell an old ship?

The Missions system in AQ2 is not a simple fetch quest system, dynamic missions with branching paths as well as hand-crafted stories are all possible. Find new contacts throughout the Aquila system for new missions, or even get clues to hidden missions from scanning wrecks and other more exotic things you might find.

Ships can be customized with a variety of weapons and fittings. Shields, Armor, Engines, Power generation, and AI chips are just some of the core fittings. Ships can also be equipped with stealth generators, anti-missile point defense, and even status projectors like the shield hardener allowing you to buff your allies. Larger ships can also be equipped with fighter bays. Turrets are customizable even further with turret modifications and ammo, adjust your turrets by sacrificing damage for increased range. All turrets, fittings, and ammo can be crafted or purchased on the market.
