Play

Everything that happens out in the zones: what you gather and fight, how you get around, how you hold territory — and how you play with (or against) other players.

In the field

• Gathering — Scanning, harvesting ore and plants, and collecting resources from zones. Catalogs: Ores · Plants.
• Combat — Fighting, damage types, interference, alarms, kill reports, and SOS. Also: NPCs & PVE hunting — ranks, weaknesses, spawn types, TAPs, tactics.
• Missions — Field missions, agents, and terminals. Full table: Missions.
• Movement & zones — Zones, docking, queues, teleports, spark jumps, and gates. Also: Exploration (artifacts and relics) and Proximity probes.

Bases & sites

Corporate and endgame play: holding territory, outposts, and the intrusion mode.

• Power base stations — PBS structures: deployment, connections, territories, effects, and feeding. What you can deploy: Deployables.
• Outposts & SAP — Outpost ownership, stability, and the four SAP activity types in open-PvP space.
• Intrusion — The intrusion mode: NPC sites, SAP items, defense thresholds, facility upgrades, and stability.

With others

Playing together and in parallel: group play and communication.

• Groups — Corporations, alliances, and gangs (fleets): membership, roles, hangars, documents, votes, and the bulletin board.
• Social — Communication and reputation: mail, chat channels, friends, standings, the yellow pages, news, and polls.
