Your first colony
- Follow the in-game starter objectives to build an Ore Extractor, Solar Reactor, Orbital Shipyard, Orbital Hangar and Hyperspace Relay. Starter objectives supply specific Ore and ship rewards.
- Place a structure on an unlocked construction pad. The Command Nexus governs the number of permits and each normal structure's upgrade ceiling. Base building explains placement and queues.
- Queue Scout hulls in the Shipyard, then place available ships around an AI base before launching the first raid. The first completed hull grants a five-Scout starter wing.
- Use the World Map for Frontier AI battles, discoveries, Awakening Expanse campaign bases, and Alliance activities. World Map guide explains the regions.
3D controls and menus
Drag to orbit the camera, scroll or pinch to zoom, and use the on-screen reset control to recenter the view. In battles, deploy ships before launching. On mobile, drag the galaxy map to pan; the Key button opens its legend. The graphics gear beside zoom controls lets you choose a quality setting.
