Could you build this?

No Building or porting a full 3D space combat game engine to WebAssembly/Native with Godot or custom C++ requires deep 3D graphics, flight physics, and game engine architecture expertise.

What it would actually take: The stack involves Godot engine or C++/OpenGL/Vulkan targeting Emscripten and native targets. The core challenge involves implementing 6DoF space physics, custom asset parsing/decompilation of original binary assets, procedural planet/starfield rendering, and real-time audio synthesis. It demands veteran game developers with graphics and engine recreation experience.
