Game summary

Tactical fleet combat with modular spaceships. Engineer spaceships, compose fleets and command them in in real time battles. All ships are completely defined by their module composition. Achieve victory with briliant command on the battlefield or by engineering it into your fleet. RTS-style battles with up to dozens of ships per side. Fixed fleets, doesn't include building of units or resource management mechanics. Ships are made of and entirely defined by their modules. The modules such as generators, thrusters, weapons, armor etc. form the structure and define the behavior of the ship. Ships can have anywhere between 5 to over 1000 modules. Ship and level editor. You can not only create new ship designs and battle challenges but edit all existing ones using in-game editors. No-cheating Newtonian physics. All movement is driven by forces from thrusters and other actuators, and there is no friction or dampening. Ships and other objects are simulated as rigid bodies with accurate collision geometries and inertia. Per-module damage model. Ships can get partially disabled and split in two. The damage model also includes armor penetration and ricochet calculations. Ship resource system. Most modules have a single function such as power generation or heat dissipation. The resource system gathers, stores and distributes resources such as electricity, heat and fuel between modules on every frame.

Play Battlefleet Engineer on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Battlefleet Engineer on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

Battlefleet Engineer installation steps for Mac
