HullBreach



Planet Rotater Welcome to the official website for HullBreach Online, the first browser-based space MMORPG for the Nintendo Wii! HullBreach Online supports, not only the Wii, but any Web browser that can use the HTML canvas object (without additional control enhancements) by making use of the powerful Wii Opera SDK, a JavaScript library originally made just for this game!

Join the other 4346 members by taking part in the galaxy of HullBreach Online! Since the game is and always will be free to play, there is no reason to say no to that.

Check back to this website periodically for updates. I will use this blog to both explain in-place game elements and to reveal newly added abilities and features.

Currently the HullBreach Online accounts are being integrated with games and software at http://wiioperasdk.com so that one login allows all the great and upcoming software to be seemlessly used.

Galactic Database
Galactic DatabaseThe Galactic Database is a resource made available on this website for any players wishing to see what is available in HullBreach Online. This database lists locations, ship classes, character professions, carge types, mission types, and NPCs. For each of these categories, there is a short description of the item chosen from the AJAX-populated list. If applicable, default statistics also show.

The Galactic Database is a great tool for those wishing to see what is left to explore in the HullBreach galaxy. Unfortunately this resource cannot show who is currently inside the game. For that... another tool is available.

Asteroid Mining
In addition to completing missions and trading goods, another way to make a quick credit is Asteroid Mining. Asteroids litter the galaxy with resources just ready to be taken and sold at trading posts.

Each space object holds unique properties that require precise sensor calibrations to study. Thus, before mining can take place, the ship must be able to determine what - if anything - exists in the object. Scanning is not necessary, but it can sometimes give a little insight. If the prerequisites are met, mining is conducted by pressing the Mining button from the location menu.

The probability to hitting something good depends on the location. Sometimes the ship may obtain nothing but chiselled space debris (which holds little value to traders and eats up cargo space fast). By taking a little time to search, valuable products may be uncovered. All mined goods can be sold at Trading Posts, but remember each trader deals in different products.

So is mining only limited to asteroids? Well, it's probably best to avoid inhabited planets since the natives don't take a liking to space pirates.

Bynar 0000/0001
Bynar 0000/0001The Bynar system, of sector Kappa Kappa, consists of two planets of identical size whose orbits around each other match with the length of their days. Bynar 0001 has a retrograde orbit.

Over the eons, the tidal pulls between the planets have caused identical continents to form on both, just mirrored. The ocean currents and wind currents are mirrored as well. It is believed that the peculiar orbits originated from a time when this solar system may have had one larger planet that was shattered by an impact of immense proportions. Over time, gravity formed the two halves into spheres.

Bynar System

Once inhabitants of the planets decided to pursue different industries and crop growth, trade began to boom between them. Before that point, identical development on both planets made trade irrelevant. Very few interstellar traders visit one planet and not the other due to the benefits (and warm welcomes) extended by both.

Aquarius
AquariusThe entire surface of Rho Theta's Aquarius is covered in brackish water. In some regions, land is visible under the vast ocean's surface. These fishing hotspots make the bulk of the planets food trade. The remainder of trade comes from various weapons that are tested in the deep waters after being constructed under extreme water pressures.

There are several large cities on the planet. Many are mobile, floating on the surface of the water; while others are self-contained in large domes at the ocean floor. The latters are so deep in the water that no one except the Aquarians know of their locations.

The general Aquarian is a devious business tycoon, using shrewd speech to convince sales to almost anyone. In fact, they brag about how they profit from both sides of conflicts by selling weapons at marked-up prices... Then during post-war rebuilding, they sell food and water to the distressed people.
