Outposts

Outposts are battle stations which can be used in other systems as long as there is sufficient activity within the system. It is marked by a symbol of a ship in the System Map.

Activity in a system is determined by the oupost progress percent counter in the top left-hand corner of the screen. outpost progress is increased by mining (either individually or through Mining Ships), killingAI (PVE), or other players (PVP). Once the Outpost Progress reaches 100%, an Ouptpost will automatically jump into the system. Note that the maximum value for outpost progress is 300%.

However, there is a auto-drain per minute. As soon as outpost progress

drops down 100%, the Outpost will jump out. Enemy outposts can be forced to leave the system upon successful destruction during battle.

If the outpost is forced out of sector due to damage, the side owning the outpost will have their Outpost progress value replaced with a countdown for Outpost repairing.

It is possible for both factions have their respective outposts in a single system. This is shown on the system map with a split color circle.

Following an update in March 2014, Outposts now come in three versions, the regular outpost (which has 30,000 hull points), the upgraded version (which has 35,000 hull points) and fortified (which has 40,000 hull points).

System control now ranges from level 0 to 10. When an Outpost first enters a system it will be a regular outpost, it takes until around level 4 for the outpost to be upgraded. Additionally after level 1, the outpost will acquire sentry platforms surrounding it to make them harder to kill. These sentry platforms have automated weapons and come in light (7,500 hull points), medium (10,000 hull points) and heavy (15,000 hull points). The weapons on the platforms do more damge as the size increases.

As levels increase, the outpost will get 1 new sentry platform until it has 4 starting with light sentry platforms. Once it has 4 light sentry platforms, as levels increase after that it will replace the light sentry platforms with medium sentry platforms, and once 4 medium sentry platforms are reached replace the medium sentry platforms with heavy sentry platforms. By level 10, the system should have a fortified outpost bordered with 4 heavy sentry platforms surrounding it. The sentry platforms have weapons on them which add to the firepower of the Outpost. Regardless of the size, the sentry platform has 3000 energy.

Docking With Outposts

Outposts can be docked with by pilots for running maintenance for their ships and to restock supplies. The distance for docking is within 999M. Pilots who "die" during battle (i.e. be rescued during search and rescue operations) respawn inside an outpost, either in the system they were defeated in (if their faction outpost is available), or in the nearest system.

The following NPC can be found within the Outpost:

• Outpost Quartermaster (Colonial - Supply and Maintenance Officer)
• Number Eight (Cylon - Outpost Supply Coordinator)

Pilots may choose to do the following by interacting with the NPC:

• Buy/sell items, salvage, and loot
• Install/uninstall systems
• Upgrade systems
• Restore ship and system durability
• Change ship assignment
• Purchase/advance ships
