* TractorBeam: A pulling (and pushing beam) are available as subsystems. Largely pointless, but they can be used to grapple onto enemy stations and pull them out of orbit, or send enemy ships catapulting out of the system
* [[{{Two-DSpace}} 2-D Space]]: Planets will always be along the ecliptic plane, but stars are all at different "heights" along the Z-axis, and player ships can fly in any direct - holding down a button while giving a movement order will allow you to order them to fly up or down as they move to their destination. Attacking from ''above'' a system is effective, as you likely will not come into range of any enemy orbital defense stations.

* SpaceStation: Player designs usually fall into either "Defense Platform" or "Dry Dock". Space stations armed with weapons have the advantage of being ridiculously hard to kill, and Dry Docks don't have the labor requirements to build ships (or other stations) like planet based shipyards do. It's also possible to build refinery or trade docks. Refineries will take Ore from the planet, and refine it to Metal, Electronics, or Advanced parts, allowing the planet to focus entirely on just mining out the ore. Trade Docks will simply take material from the planet and put it into the "Galactic Bank", which any planet with a Space Dock can get materials from.

Research has a massive focus in ''Star Ruler'' - you unlock subsystems by researching its specific upgrade (i.e. researching Energy Weapons will help unlock lasers). However, when a subsystem is first researched, it's usually weak - you need to continue to research in that field to make it more powerful.
