A Stasis Field is a protective, impenetrable field that envelopes a ship when its shields have been depleted. In order to prevent the destruction of the ship, the ship goes into stasis right before hull breach. Stasis fields are deadly to life forms, so the pilot must be ejected from the ship in an escape pod. If an escape pod is not equipped, then the pilot is killed by either the vacuum of space or the stasis field, depending on how unlucky they are. After this happens, the player becomes a Spirit. In either case, the player can reclaim the ship once it has left stasis.
Both player ships and Bots can use stasis fields, and every ship has the capability to use one. AI and Wild Bots on the other hand do not have stasis fields and are lost forever once destroyed. The same is true of Fighters, though Drones can now be repaired once destroyed.
Types of Stasis
|
Heavy Stasis |
Light Stasis |
A stasis field exists in one of two states: heavy stasis, where the ship cannot be interacted with as the Shields regenerate, and light stasis, where the stasis field is lowered and the ship can be reclaimed. After being killed, a ship always goes into heavy stasis first. Heavy stasis appears blue and will remain for as long as it takes the shields to recharge, or until 5 minutes have elapsed - whichever is shorter. Following heavy stasis, the ship enters into light stasis and can then be reclaimed. Light stasis appears yellow and the pilot can dock their escape pod or spirit by getting close and pressing the R key. A prompt will appear, asking the pilot if they wish to reclaim the ship where it lay, or have it towed to the nearest applicable galaxy.
Additional Information
Here are further details on the nature of stasis fields and how they work:
Bot Stasis
Bot will enter into stasis when killed the same way as a player ship. Once a bot has entered light stasis, it can be reclaimed by targeting it and pressing the X key and clicking Leave Stasis. Bots in stasis will continue to take up Remote Control slots and will still appear in the player's Possessions tab. Also through this tab, bots can be told remotely to leave stasis or to be destroyed permanently.
