How missions work

Every fleet leaves on one mission. Mission Control checks the fleet, the target, the research and the fuel before launch, and the mission checks its target again on arrival.

Attack

Send armed spacecraft against another commander's settlement or a pirate stronghold. Weapons, armor and the defenses stationed at the target decide the battle.

Type · Friendly Fleet · Stays at the destination

Colonize

Found a new settlement. The Colony Ship and everything it carries stay to build the colony.

Coordinate Attack

Open a rally for armed fleets against one target. Your fleets and your friends' fleets fight it together.

Destroy

Late-game demolition with capital ships. Settlement and planetary targets suffer different destructive effects.

Deploy Portal

Carry a jump portal kit to an empty point in deep space and build a portal there.

Extract Resources

Send Mining Vessels to collect resources from a world, a moon, battle wreckage or a rogue comet.

Spy

Learn what a target holds before you commit to it. The report records the target's spacecraft, defenses, resources and buildings when the fleet arrives.

Stand by

Station a fleet at your own or a friend's settlement so it defends it against attacks.

Supply Portal

Refuel one of your jump portals so it stays online.
