Galaxy Ownership
See Basing for similiar topics.
Players with an active subscription can stake and claim Wild Space galaxies. Unowned galaxies can have active PvP or PvE (if claiming AI empire galaxies), but once owned, only the threat of termites (which *will* occur) provide a real risk requiring kits to be properly geared/auged and players to be properly skilled.
This system is novel and different from the system of yesteryear with HQs and outposts and owned space does not have to be contingious to a team's borders.
Unowned system can only have attached kits, and unattached CnCs. Drones are only allowed in owned galaxies.
To claim a system, a T16 Kit "CnC" ownership kit must be deployed within 2,000 distance of a sun by a player on a team. This special ownership kit is a Command and Conquer Kit (purchaseable at Building Academy Entrance for 4B).
This will aggravate any AI empire base kits to be hostile to the kit and kit owner (but not other team members).
Ensuring your Command and Conquer kit is fully healed/geared is often crucial when there is galaxy contests.
Deploying the kit then requires the player to succesfully construct the "Nullification Generator Build" in the construction tab ideally as soon as possible. It requires 10,000 Sentient Chatbots and 10,000 Steel Girders so ensuring you have sufficent infrastrcture via ExE kits is crucial.
There is an additional equipable Nullification Generator Construction Support that once equiped and fed 300 Fusion Cells every 10 minutes will speed up the ownership construction process, which spawns healing drones that heal the CnC and orbit 7,500 distance from the CnC.
Although you cannot build unattached kits besides the CnC in a unowned galaxy, you can risk building attached kits to setup your infrastructure that later will be protected from PvP once ownership is done and maintained.
Once the "Nullification Generator Build" is completed, ownership might be delayed until the server's 10 minute tick fires. Once owned, the galaxy in the galaxy map will be circled by a white circle.
The quickest ownership can be done is around 100 minutes or 1 hour 40 minutes. Without the ownership booster drones, it takes 180 minutes or 3 hours.
If there are multiple team's CnCs racing for ownership in a system, the first one past the post wins and any other non-teamed kit will be abandoned/destroyed.
After ownership is done, 100 Fusion Cells/10 Minutes or 14400 Fusion Cells a day to maintain onwership. This should not be done manually as a best practice, and any bot that feeds the the CnC should take care to source from the same galaxy (all galaxies are guaranteed to have enough Nuclear Waste to support ownership) or another galaxy that does visit any unowned galaxy to avoid PvP.
If at any point in time the CnCs fusion cell tick occurs and there is not enough fusion cells or if the CnC kit is destroyed by termites/starvation, galaxy ownership will be lost (warnings will propogate in team chat), with a small safety cushion of time determined by how long the galaxy had previously been owned (up to 3 days, and initially an hour of buffer time).
Special "LACS" prefixed galaxies exist and cannot be owned, but provide a source of Goop which may be used to enchance extraction speed by 25% if fed to a CnC with the properly equiped factories/industry or feed as inputs into special Colony Commodities.
