Tactics & Strategy | Basic Play Guide | Your Ships
 Initially you will only
have the default fighter, which is far from adequate, it is just a converted
survey ship as used by the Aegis in its normal research role. As soon as
you have some raw materials it’s time to think about better equipment
and then later creating new bigger hull designs.
You must
always be careful to maintain a balance between the three resource-sinks
Research, Construction and Repair. If you spend all your resources on
any one then the others will suffer. Imagine taking a beating from the
enemy only to find the Aegis has run out of resources and you cannot repair
your ship!
 |
If any ship is destroyed then the escape pod
launches, you must get back to the Aegis as quickly as possible. |
 |
The Runabout is an off the shelf converted
survey ship, if you have no custom hulls you can always access one
of these standard fighters. |
 |
The Prowler is a major upgrade to the
survey ship; the port nacelles carry extra weapons pods. |
 |
The Avenger is a completely new design;
although it carries the same number of weapons it can take the more
advanced larger weapon upgrades. |
 |
The Devastator is the ultimate one-man
fighter. Its six weapon pods can carry top of the line weapons. |
