How extended shielding works

in

Ground Defenses

If your base has Deflection Shields, they will add shielding to all ground-battery defenses (from barracks to photon batteries)

The math behind it is:

total of shields divided by total of area

shields = deflection shielding * 5
area = sum of all battery levels * 5

limited to a maximum increase of 3 shielding per battery.

For a simple example, if a base has 1 barracks, 1 laser battery, 2 ion battery and 1 deflection shields, then:

(1+1+2)*5=20 area
1 deflection=20 shielding (add 5% to each shielding tech level you have)

so each ground defense would get 1 extra shielding.

Base Owner Orbiting Ships

To the orbiting ships the bonus is similar, divide the total number of units you have by the p.shields or s.shields

1000 ft
1 level of p.shields

24*5 / 1000 = 0.12

if you have shielding tech 20, it would give double that shielding to your fighters.

Shielded units will have their shielding increased.

Players protection

in

A player is fully protected over his bases if his level is under 40% of the aggressor level, in an empty astro that protection no longer apply

If you attack a player 40% above your own level, you lost the previous protection for 72 hours

Any bases under 2 days old cannot be hit

If an account go inactive for 7 days, and ain't under vacation mode, anyone can hit his bases

Inactive players will have his bases coords revealed in the Locations tab under his profile page for his alliance leadership after 7 days, his alliance members after 14 days, and to all users after 21 days

30 days inactive and free account turn BORC

Increasing the base economy

in

You can increase your bases economy by building the following structures:

  1. Crystal Processor
  2. Economy Centers
  3. Spaceports
  4. Empire Center

Also those structures will give you more economy:

  1. Habitat Zone
  2. Orbital Base
  3. Shipyards
  4. Orbital Shipyards
  5. Metal Refineries, Robotic, Nanobots and Automated Factories
  6. Biosphere Modification
  7. Tele-Transport Pod

The most impressive structure to economy is the Spaceports. It gives only 1 economy to level 1, but each next level will increase to match its level, like 2 to level 2, 3 to level 3, etc.
So Spaceports level 5 will give you 1+2+3+4+5=15 econ.

What is hot

in

Outer-core is a very fun space game, we continuously add new great features, check the forums for our latest improvements and what we are planing to do next.

Here is a glimpse of the game resources:

Empire at the empire page you can visualize what your bases and starbases are doing, what are been built, produced and researched.

Base Production your bases can build over 30 type of ships

Production Center in the production center you can produce new ships from all bases at once! All in the same page. You can also use math or wildcards (k = 1000, m = 1000000), like this 3k/2 will build 1500 ships

Ships Great ships that will spice up your fun and add lots of strategy to your game such as the Gateship, increasing your fleet speed with 100%, The Holoship and Cloak ship, tricking the enemy scanners by increasing or decrising your fleet size, The Defense Ship, sharing their shields with smaller ships and the Repair Ship, which will fix any damage sustained during battles.

Maps The flight path has gradient colors reflecting your fleets speed!

Systems This is one of the hundreds of the game solar systems

Structures You can build lots of interesting structures like telepods, solar satellites and orbital research labs.

Defenses Base defenses aren't passive, you can fire them against enemies fleets within the system! If someone lands anywhere in the system, you can fire lasers or drones to cripple him/her. Your alliance members will also get defense benefits from your batteries.

Techs Great technologies such as automated repair, cloaking, teleportation and stellar cartography!

Commanders You can have secretaries and ministers, ministers will enhance all of your bases or fleets, while secretaries will only enhance the base they're stationed on.

These are just some examples, join us and have a great time Wink
