Space Combat

Space Combat

Collect ten gold bricks to gain entry to the Resolute’s hangar, which is located off the generator chamber. Here you may use special panels to summon the various starships you’ve unlocked by progressing through the game. Examine each ship you’ve unlocked and decide whether you’d like to purchase it.

The hangar features a command console, just like the one on the bridge. Use this console and select the Systems menu option. It’s not immediately obvious, but a special space combat mission is now available at every system you’ve visited thus far!

Select any planet from the Systems menu to engage hyperdrive and travel there. Then call down a suitable ship for the space combat mission at hand. Use the following table to determine what sort of firepower you need for each challenge.

General Strategies

Board your ship to fly out into space. Track a yellow marker to locate a gold brick that floats around between the Resolute and the Invisible Hand. Repeatedly shoot the gold brick to begin the system’s unique space combat mission.

In all space combat missions, your goal is to collect a certain amount of studs in just a few short minutes. Different weaponry is needed to mine studs from whatever targets are made available (enemy ships, space creatures, debris, etc.). The following table gives a quick description of each space combat mission and tells you what sort of firepower gives you the edge.
