Battlefield Overview #
The battlefield is displayed in the center of the screen and contains several types of objects. Asteroids and outposts positions start known but enemy ships and projectiles will only be displayed while within sensor range.
Asteroids #
Asteroids are hunks of ice and rock that are actively being mined by the outpost.
- Block sensors and hide what behind
- Break apart into smaller asteroids when damaged
Outposts #
Outposts are automated mining stations that are integral for controlling a sector. Capturing them is the primary way to gain influence. All outposts begin as neutral objects but can be captured, granting access to their sensors and influence.
Dust Clouds #
- Block sensors but do not block movement
- Incoming and outgoing projectiles leave dust trails
- Dust cloud cannot be destroyed
