Phases of the Game

Expansion/Tech research - Stabilized mid game


Expansion/Tech rush

This phase lasts between the initial con placement and until the map is more or less solidly staked out with sector control established in most places. Here, the most important thing is to aid your team's expansion and economy while stunting your opponent's.

  • Spot enemy cons early and organize assaults on them to prevent them from going where they want to go. Get them to rip home or plant early if you can't destroy them.
  • Spot enemy miners and keep them from mining as much as possible.
  • Defend your own cons as they head out. A good nan can make the difference between a brand new station or just a dead con.
  • Defend your own miners by blockading alephs leading to your mining sectors as much as possible. If the enemy breaks through and hides then move to a per-miner style defense.
  • Set up more probes to allow your team to spot bomb runs, cons, miners, and enemy attack groups going after your own miners. Remove enemy probes that do the same.
  • Support team actions such as bomb runs against enemy bases.
  • Collect tech that matches your chosen tech path.

Stabilized waiting game

This phase doesn't always occur, but it's essentially when both teams have equal midrange tech and the map is more or less split equally between them. Basic bombing runs consistently fail for both sides, so there's nothing to do but wait for better tech.

  • Waiting for better tech? Prevent the enemy from getting it. Kill enemy miners.
  • You won't get tech if you have no miners. Protect your own.
  • Keep probe nets up to ensure that those bombing runs of the enemy continue to fail.
  • Remove their probes so one of your bombing runs can succeed.
  • Collect cashboxes to nudge your team's research along.
