Frequent questions

Factions

Is there any bonus / boost during the first X hours of departure? Any protection?

Yes. The factions are protected during the first week of play. They can not be attacked by any player.

Bases

I have no resources to manufacture, what do I do?

The most direct way to obtain resources is through mining. But in the case of not having the resources that we need on the planet, or being too few, we can resort to trade with other players or the Star Network of Commerce. For more details, see Commerce.

What is the difference between the life support modules and the habitats?

Life support modules expand the capability of a ship's base or crew. The habitats, however, provide space for settlers, who are the civilian citizens who are going to live at our bases and who pay us for it money through taxes.

I have run out of base space, what can I do?

Bases can increase their space by installing base extensions. However, it is a technology that takes some time to investigate. At the beginning of the game it is easier to build new bases. The outpost should be the first option to investigate.

Combat

A base has guns but has no garrison troops. Can it be invaded by a troop transport?

Yes. If the invasion option is selected in the attack base order, the fleet will release its troops without being exposed to the fire of the base cannons. If there are no troops defending it, the base will be occupied without casualties.
