Your targets for battle are the valuable
resource nodes scattered across the
worlds as enemy colonies. Your first
colony is safe from attack at all times, but
once you venture off planet be wary of
who is around you!
Resource Nodes can be Raided and Captured: '
Raiding: After defeating the guards, you steal a large volume of resources and return home.
Capture: After defeating the guards, your fleet remains at the node and you can create a trade route to constantly gather the resources.
Enemy Colonies can be Assaulted and Obliterated:'
Assault: If you can defeat the enemy garrisons, you can establish a trade route to steal resources from the enemy. You must hurry though as their allies will be quick to counter attack!
Obliterate: Allows your fleets to attack the enemy colony directly and damage their buildings. You will need the most powerful weapons to accomplish this effectively.
