Exploration

In Ferrus: Commissar, you are in possession of a starship that lets you travel from locale to locale. It in and of itself is a location, too - albeit a small one.

When you arrive at a location, you are able to move around there via a variety of paths, discovering new locations as you go and filling up your map. Each locale is balanced out to have a multitude of "restricted access" areas, and public access areas. As the player is exploring Federal space, all locations adhere to Federal security laws and thus the player will need to be able to either bypass these or meet the prerequisites.

Each location also has mass transit, allowing you to go to different areas.

Often times while exploring, the player can find loot, story bits and side quests to do aside for following the objectives of their main quest.
