== Gameplay == The Noctis galaxy, Feltyrion, is approximately 90 thousand [[light-year]]s in radius, approximately 45,000 more than the [[Milky Way]]. With the exception of landing on some world types (being [[gas giant]]s, Substellar Objects, and—''although these have been made landable in NICE''—unstable worlds), this galaxy is entirely open to be explored. Billions of worlds can be explored despite the [[Computer program|program]]'s relatively small size, due to its content being generated [[Procedural generation|on the fly]]. The Noctis universe contains several types of planets and 11 types of stars, noted in-game with an S in front of the number of the star. === Types of stars in Noctis === * S00: A [[Stellar classification|yellow star]] that is suitable for [[life]], such as [[Earth]]'s [[Sun]]. * S01: A [[blue giant]] star. * S02: A [[white dwarf]] star. * S03: A [[red giant]] star. * S04: An orange giant star such as [[Pollux (star)|Pollux]]. * S05: A [[brown dwarf]], not really a star but more of a Substellar object. * S06: A grey giant star, no real-life examples are known of this type of star yet, but along with some S05 "stars", may provide [[lithium]] ions that your stardrifter uses as [[fuel]]. * S07: A blue dwarf star, similar to a [[Neutron Star]]. * S08: A [[star system]], not particularly common in Feltyrion but quite common in the [[Milky Way]]. * S09: A young star that is still a system in formation, similar to [[Vega]]. * S10: A runaway star that has escaped the [[gravitation]]al pull of Feltyrion, usually ancient and similar to S03 stars ([[red giant]]s) except usually lacking [[planet]]s. * S11: These are [[pulsar]]s. === Types of planets in Noctis === Substellar objects: giant worlds, larger than gas giants, that emit heat and are sometimes failed stars similar to S05 systems. [[Gas giants]]: Giant planets that consist of gas and can harbor many moons, similar to [[Saturn]] and [[Jupiter]]. [[Quartz]] worlds: Worlds that, as the name would suggest, have a surface consisting mainly of quartz. They are medium-sized and carry a pure [[oxygen]] atmosphere. No world like this is present in our [[solar system]]. Thick [[atmosphere]] worlds: Medium-sized planets that have a rocky surface and an extraordinarily thick atmosphere in the tens of Felysian Atmospheres. [[Temperature]]s can vary widely from planet to planet of this type. Two examples of this type of world would be [[Venus]] and [[Titan (moon)|Titan]]. Felysian worlds: Medium-sized planets that are suitable for, and in many cases contain, [[life]]. These are usually found orbiting S00 stars but can also be found around S03 stars and others depending on which version/mod of Noctis you may be using. These planets are similar to [[Earth]]. Thin Atmosphere worlds: Worlds that are about medium sized, rocky, and have a much less prominent atmosphere, such as [[Mars]]. Dusty, no-atmosphere worlds: These are worlds that are small, rocky, and lack any significant atmosphere, such as Earth's [[Moon]]. Craterized, no-atmosphere worlds: Worlds that lack a significant atmosphere and are also marked with numerous impact craters, such as [[Mercury (Planet)|Mercury]]. Unstable worlds: Internally hot, [[Volcano|volcanically]] active worlds. These worlds are unlandable in the standard versions of Noctis, but in certain versions of NICE, landings for these worlds are being implemented. These worlds are similar to [[Io (moon)|Io]], one of the [[moon]]s of [[Jupiter]]. The Noctis universe notably lacks [[black hole]]s since it is based on the [[Wave Theory of Field]], a model of physics that doesn't provide for the existence of such entities. This model is also the basis of the stardrifter's [[faster-than-light]] drive. It is a drive fueled with [[lithium]] ions predominantly harvested by "scooping" for lithium while orbiting S06 stars, using a device that seems to work like a [[Bussard Ramscoop]], and operates by creating a maximass (another feature of the Wave Theory of Field) that expands space near the stardrifer, creating a wave for the drifter to "ride" upon. The drive is operated by selecting a target, and either engaging the drive, or in the case of a planet, beginning a fine approach. Manual control is not available in Noctis IV, but is planned for Noctis V. The stardrifter itself has a hull made out of [[quartz]], which can be made opaque by polarizing it, or left to be transparent (or rendered entirely invisible if NICE is being used). The hull needs no maintenance from the player, and it is assumed that the landing pod gathers resources for maintenance while landed on a planet, and that maintenance operations are done automatically with no involvement from the player. The stardrifter can store 120 [[gram]]s of [[lithium]] [[fuel]], which is sufficient for journeys totalling several thousand [[light-years]].
