Repülések áttekintése
Információ
A repülés az egyik legfontosabb dolog a játékban, amelyen keresztül a játékosok interakcióba lépnek. A repülések olyan hajócsoportok, amelyek elhagyják az otthoni bolygót azért, hogy egy másik bolygóra, Napra vagy aszteroidára utazzanak, hogy egy adott küldetést teljesítsenek. Minden repüléshez legalább egy hajónak kell lennie, hogy egyáltalán létezzen. Minden repülés, kivéve az űrutazásokat és naptámadásokat, amelyek sebességgel motiválhatóak.
12 féle repülési típus van, amiket egy adott bolygóról lehet indítani:
- Szállító - a hajókat gazdasági nyersanyagok (fém, ásványok, gáz) vagy törmelék szállítására küldik ugynannak a játékosnak egy másik bolygójára vagy törmelékére (csak) egy másik játékos bolygójára;
- Kémkedési - kémhajókat küldenek egy másik játékos bolygójára információkat gyűjteni;
- Támadó - hajókat küldenek egy másik játékos bolygójára, hogy lerombolják a flottájukat, ellopják nyersanyagaikat, lerombolják épületeiket vagy az egész bolygót.
- Állomásozás - ships sent to another Planet or the Team planet, they stay at the destination when they arrive, they don't return;
- Gyarmatosító - colonizing ship sent to a field where there is no Planet, to create one;
- Újrahasznosító - recycling ships sent to a field where there is Scrap in order to collect it;
- Kalózkodás - pirating ships sent to another player's Planet to steal economic resources or Scrap;
- Aszteroidabányászat - recycling ships sent to an Asteroid to collect gas or Scrap;
- Naptámogatás - ships sent to an attacked Sun in order to get in the way of enemies trying to acquire Crystals;
- Űrutazás - ships sent on a pointless trip so they would get away from the Planet.
- Renegát kémkedés - spy ships sent to Renegade for gathering information.
- Renegát támadás - ships sent to Renegade location for gathering of Upgrade points.
Also there are some specific flights that can be sent only from a Team planet:
- Csapattámadás - ships sent to another Team planet to destroy their fleet, steal resources, destroy building levels or even destroy the entire Planet.
- Csapatkalózkodás - pirating ships sent to another Team planet to steal economic resources or Scrap;
- Naptámadás - ships sent to Attack a Sun in order to acquire Crystals;
Repülések jellemzői
Flights have the following characteristics (they are all determined by the player and the info they input when sending the flight):
- Target - these are the coordinates the ships are sent to; all Flights except the Space trip have a target;
- Mission - this is indicated by the type of Flight; different Flights have different missions;
- Flight time - this is the amount of time needed for the ships to reach their target; when sending a Flight to the same coordinates as the ones the fleet leaves from flight time is always 20 minutes regardless of ship speed and Sciences that increase ship speed (these flight times are reduced only by Motivation or if the game Universe is accelerated; they can be increaced if the player reduces the pace of the flight); the maximum flight time of a Space Trip is 11 hours 59 minutes (in one direction);
- Fuel - all flights need fuel for the ships; the amount of fuel needed is based on the distance to be traveled (except for the Space trip, where the fuel consumption is always 100 Gas)
- Ships - this is the amounts and types of ships sent on the Flight;
- Amount of flights - there is a limitation on the amount of Flights that can be in progress simultaneously, the limit depends on the level of the science Radar systems; see below;
- Return - all flights return automatically when they reach their target and fulfill the mission (except for Spy flights, which must always be recalled manually and Stationing flights which don't return at all). Every flight can be recalled before it reaches its destination if this is done the Flight doesn't reach the destination and doesn't fulfill the mission. Note that the Sun support flight can't be returned when there are less than 10 hours left until the Sun attack flight arrives.
- The "Fleets" menu provides you complete information about your recent Flight activity. You can also use it to begin a new mission.
- The Flight table provides information about your Flights.
- You can see the starting coordinates, the target coordinates, the arrival time, the return time, the mission type.
- If you clicking on the mission type link, of one of the Flights you sent, a pop-up window will show the count and types of the Ships sent.
- If you click on the mission type link of a flight sent to you, you can see the amounts and types of ships sent only if you have researched level 10 of the Espionage science.
Limit on amount of Flights simultaneously in progress
There is a limit on the amount of Flights that can be in progress simultaneously. The limit depends on the level of the Science Radar Systems. At level 0 you can send just one Flight.With every additional level the limit of Flights sent at the same time increases by 1.5.
This means that at level 6 you will have 1+6*1.5=10 Flights but at level 7 you will have 1+7*1.5=11.5 => 11 Flights.
Note that Espionage flights, which are in progress (the spy ship is actually flying to or from the Planet) are counted regarding the aforementioned limit.
Espionage flights, in which the Spy ship is at the enemy Planet, waiting for a report to be requested, are bound by another limit, connected with the Radar system science. The amount of such flights that can be active simultaneous is equal to:
(LRS + 1) * 1.5 * 4
Where LRS is the level of the science Radar systems.
