Pirate Battlestation

From Jumpgate Evolution Wiki

[edit] Pirate Battlestations

• Battle Stations are massive. When close to one, it will be difficult to see your ship at max zoom and the entire station may not fit in your view.^{[citation needed]}
• Battle Stations are spawned by unchecked pirates in a sector. They can be destroyed by a group of players. A Pirate Base is a much larger scale battle. Think of it in terms of Raid content.^[1]
  • Of particular interest is that, when compared to the , the battlestation does not have a Dock/Launch bay indicated anywhere in the design.
  • If you leave pirates unchecked in a sector for too long, they will build a battlestation. ^{[citation needed]}

There are certainly missions and scenarios that work for both. The battlestations that we’ve shown so far can be taken out by a wing of pilots, however as you go further into the game, you are absolutely going to want to bring a few more friends along. Also in terms of PVP, we want to plan out some HUGE battles. Those will be perfect scenarios for squads to take on.^[2]
