Mission recommendations

There is no time limit! We encourage all our crew members to take whatever time they need for their assignments, explore carefully, and enjoy the vastness of deep space.

You will be split into two shift crews on the station - the day crew and the night crew. Make sure you know if you're day shift or night shift before starting, as you will need to pick your shift!

If playing over video chat, we highly recommend headphones to avoid conflicting sounds(or having one person with sound on, and everyone else's muted).

Important technology stuff

Our assignment comms require a desktop browser. They will not work on your primitive mobile/tablet devices.

The communication protocols for Research Station Alpha work in Chrome, Firefox or Safari and Edge. Please ensure your browser is up to date and DO NOT use incognito mode..

We are always working to improve our comms, but they may occasionally freeze up. Simply click on the green 'Refresh' button at the right of the screen to get them back online!

You WILL need to enable scripts and pop-ups in your browser.

If you close your browser, your progress will be stored - but do NOT clear your browser cache!
