Tactical Mode [Guide]


The game has a way to control the situation in battle or when landing on the planet - "Tactical Mode". In it, we ending to be just a “Man with a gun” and become a commander, we can control the modules on the ship, manage our sol-diers, control a mining dron, inspect the battlefield, etc.

For activate "Tactical mode", we need to go to the bridge of the ship and activate the module - “Bridge”. After that, the entire battlefield will go into a holographic projection and we will be able to control everything as in RTS games.


For select a group of our soldiers, you need to hover over them cursor and click [Left Mouse Button], or select them with a frame by holding the left mouse button and dragging the frame, highlighting the soldiers. After that, without removing the selection, we can send them to a point or to a module by pressing [Right Mouse Button].


For give order to board of a group from several marines, select them, send them to the "Marines Module", then se-lect the module and press the "Launch Capsule" button (capsules can be of different capacities).


Further, when the capsule docked with the enemy, it would weld out the Airlock and drop off the marines. To observe and control the boarding process, you can switch to the enemy ship in Tactical Mode.

Resource Mining [Guilde]


You can mine resources on the planets using the "Mining Drone". In order for you to have a drone you need a special module - "Planetary Mining Module". It will contain a drone. To manage drone you need to go into Tactical Mode from the ship’s bridge, select Mining Module, launch drone and select drone.

The drone has several commands - “Return to the ship” and “Unload ore”.
In order for the drone to start mining, you need to send it to the ore mine from the Tactical Mode.

Then he will start digging and as soon as he fills his body with ore, he will go to the ship to unload. After that, he will be to repeat the mining process until it is stopped or the ship’s hold is full.

By the way, ore takes up a lot of space in the hold, and in order to efficiently mine and sell it, it is recommended to take a ship with a large hold.
In the future there will be many different drones for the extraction of various resources, as well as mining in space from an asteroid

Landing on the Planet [Guide]


The planet - is an important game object, which is separated into several types of locations: static (cities, villages, ba-ses, etc.) and dynamic (forests, mountains, swamps, etc.).
You can landing on any planet. Each planet is unique and has its own landscape and climatic conditions. For example, somewhere hellish cold, somewhere heat, and somewhere there is no oxygen. Remember that when the character leaves the ship on a dangerous surface, he will begin to take damage if he does not have resistance to this type of condition (f.e., a crew member without a helmet will not be able to walk on the airless moon).


Also remember that there are planets where it is safe, hostile, and disputed, where represented both the forces of the Earth Federation and for example, pirates.


Another important point: on the planets there may be resources that can be mined (for example, ore). You can also find a container with resources or a module somewhere in a location.

Using system map [Guide]


Hi all!
In "Spaceship Commander" the galaxy consists of stellar sectors, such as Orion Setor. Sectors - this is groups of star systems between which there are hypergate routes.
Inside the star system, the player can travels through the System Map where he can work with interactive objects: planets, ships, containers, gates, etc. And then, depending on the object, choose an action, for example: landing on planet, start a dialogue, join a battle, etc.
