Research options include Enhanced Sensors for 500 RU, which allows the 'Ping' ability, and EMP for 1500 RU, which allows the 'EMP' ability.

Interceptor Squadron

The Interceptor Squadron is designed for anti-fighter combat. It has a speed of 325, an attack value of 36, and costs 500 RU for 5 craft. Each craft has 150 hit points and is armed with 1 x Kinetic AutoGun locked forward. Research options include Level 1 Engines for 300 RU, increasing speed to 407, and Level 2 Engines for 500 RU, increasing speed to 488.

Tips
  • Scouts are essential for early reconnaissance and can disrupt enemy formations with their EMP and Sensor Ping abilities.
  • Interceptor speed can be significantly improved with engine research, making them more effective at intercepting faster enemy craft.
  • Bomber research into Improved Bombs can cripple capital ships by targeting their subsystems.
  • The Elite Bomber Squadron is a powerful, albeit situational, reward for completing a specific objective in Mission 2.
