It does not allow you to start from here when trying again from scratch. There are also Hidden Cities.įleet HQ: Conquering a fleet HQ and landing there for the first time creates a checkpoint that allows you to continue the campaign from there if you fail or abandon the run. These are: Fleet HQ, Fuel Depot, Faster Repairs, Rare Parts, Reinforcements, Intel. The latter is useful if you want to bomb them and if they have exposed topsides, but they start loading their weapons and shooting at you just as quickly as in a normal battle, so don't get too cocky - you will have less than ten seconds of undisturbed shooting at them.Īs I mentioned, every city has a special perk. But since the only enemies equipped with advanced sensors are very powerful ones, you most likely can't beat them with small and fast ships anyway.Ī sudden strike means that, if you win the battle, the alarm is not raised and your position thus not revealed to all nearby enemy fleets and the enemy are landed at the beginning of combat. You can flip a bunch of switches to calculate the chance of a sudden strike if the enemy has infrared or radar, but this is mostly pointless The only way to successfully hit an enemy equipped with these advanced sensor is by using a very small and very fast ship. The probability of successfully performing a sudden strike is displayed on the lower right corner of the UI for the ships you have currently selected. If you manage to attack them before they raise the alarm, you get a sudden strike. Once they spot you, they try to raise the alarm, which takes some time. This means that they notice you only when you enter visual range.
Garrisons get stronger the further north you go, but they (almost?) never contain ships with sensors, neither radar nor even infrared. They have a low strategic range, which means that they cannot leave their city to pursue you across the map, but they will try to intercept you when your position is revealed close to the city. They will however repair any damage sustained, although very slowly. Garrisons consist of a number of hostile ships that do not respawn. Some cities trigger random or story events when landing and some contain Tarkhans, who are potential allies. Every city has a garrison and a special perk. The northernmost cluster surrounds Khiva, your ultimate goal. The randomized map shows cities occupied by the Gathering, roughly clustered into groups of cities surrounding one fleet HQ per cluster. Let's start with explaining the stuff on the map. This displays a map and a bunch of instruments surrounding it. So, let's start with the strategic layer.
