About Squadrons
A Squadron is the group layer of the game. On your own you can only push your own numbers, and a squadron adds progression nobody reaches alone:
- Buildings that boost every member while they battle, gather, craft and explore
- An Armory of items the members lend each other
- Space Stations, claimed systems and the bonuses that come with them
- Squadron dungeons and the Battlefield, both of which need a group
You can found your own squadron or join an existing one, either by applying or by being invited.
Remember
Squadrons hold 10 members on the web realm and 8 on Steam, the leader included. The Academy building raises that limit.
What the squadron asks from you
Two things feed everything a squadron builds, and both come from its members:
- Donations. Resources, credits, cosmic dust and stellar tokens that any member can hand over.
- Taxes. A percentage of what members earn, taken automatically as they play.
Everything the squadron owns is paid out of that pot: buildings, Space Station parts, claims and upgrades. A squadron with no income does not progress, no matter how many members it holds.
Claiming systems
A squadron that builds a Space Station can park it on a system and claim it. Claiming gives your members better drop quality inside that system, extra income and XP everywhere they play, and access to the station upgrades.
It also denies something to everyone else: while your squadron holds a system, members of other squadrons lose their Barracks and Amplifier bonuses while gathering or battling in it.
