FAQ

How do I get Flagship Parts? (especially Basic Organic Matter)
Next to rewards from missions and boxes by hunting pirates. The level of the pirates is relevant for the possible loot.

There are lots of people whom need Basic Organic Matter.

I.e. Level 5 pirates drop basic materials necessary to upgrade the Flagship for Rank 3.

Flagship Materials Selection Crate 3 contains basic Organic Matter as a choice.

When using an item and reaching a cap (at level 20 / 40 / ...) is the exceeding experience lost?
No. it's not.

As soon as you reach the next Rank it could happen that you get some level ups by the exceeding experience.

I lose all the time a lot of ships. Is this normal?
No it is not. Attack pirates with an overwhelming force. 4 : 1 better 10 : 1.

It is possible to select the level of the pirates in Functions / Find Pirates.

There is a slider which can be moved.

The level recommended by the game is far to high to be profitable.

Why can't I attack pirates?
Sometimes the starting point is placed in a non neutral sector (which is a bug).

You can't attack pirates in a territory owned by an Alliance (except you are part of the Alliance or have a treaty).

But you can jump your station into another sector (there is an item valid till level 5 for a free jump).

Where do I get gas / gel?
You can produce gas OR gel. Not both and it depends on your sector.

Each sector has Regional Special Resources. Check the Galaxy Map and click on your sector.

Don't get confused by the symbols on the Galaxy Map shown below a planet.

Some of my resources show a minus. How can I keep them all in plus?
You can increase the resource gain by research and leveling up the facilities.

But keeping them all in plus isn't possible.

Buy resources by trading or shut down factories.

Do boosts stack with Speed Ups?
Yes. A 25% boost can be used to decrease the time by 25%.

Then a 1 hour Speed Up (of any type) will decrease the time by a full hour.

I used a Speed Up but it seams not to count. Is this a bug?
Use the generic Speed Up.

Research Speed Up, Shipbuilding Speed Up, Repair Speed Up don't count.
