After completing the story, Colonial warships will stop jumping in, and there will only be three waves of Okkar ships.The Okkar that jump in after taking too long in a zone can drop fuel and occasionally credits, but otherwise they won't drop anything.Crafting consumables and secondaries and using them while pausing is very useful in fights.Stay calm - panicking will often get you killed.Mines will often spawn in scrap fields and near derelicts - if you're in a tight location, scout around with the action freeze to look for any nearby mines you might trigger.Prioritize comm hubs if there is one in a zone - they will often reveal containers or other loot you may not have seen without them, as well as letting you prioritize more rewarding parts of a zone.You don't have to kill every single enemy, but you miss out on possible rewards.Don't be afraid to use consumables and secondary weapons in fights - faster battles usually means less damage taken.If playing in Hard or Hardcore, make sure to manage your time well, so you don't get interrupted by the Okkar.The turrets can be quite dangerous while exploring such a confined area, but it is possible to use action freeze to scout ahead for them. These are only found guarding the derelict colonial stations. When these appear, the unique track Armada of Annihilation will play. The turrets can drop various resources, but no credits. The nine beam turrets on the ships can all be destroyed, but it is very difficult to do so. Warships have a health bar, but are unable to be destroyed completely. These four ships are only seen in use by the player-controlled clone, other clones, and the major characters the player comes across in the main story.Īfter three waves of the Okkar invasion after spending too much time in a zone, several massive Colonial Warships jump in. The Colonial Fleet manufactures the four ship types that the player can use in each run the Colonial Interceptor, Colonial Scout, Colonial Gunship, and the Colonial Sentinel. A trick to know if the room with the special container has a subroutine is to move around to outside of the room and look through the cracks in the damaged walls for the large blue hologram.Ĭolonial Fleet Ships Player ships

The locked doors are opened with Access Keys, which can drop from elite enemy ships. However, not all stations with Special Tech Containers have subroutines. These large derelict stations almost always contain a Subroutine, along with a Special Tech Container, locked behind a red-colored hatch. There are also hazardous rogue lasers and gas leaks which can deal severe hull damage.

Most are unguarded except some by minefields, but the less damaged stations have intact security systems, which can include shield generators, turret defenses, and drone stations. There are several different designs - some are nothing but a skeleton, others are more solid and intact. There are many damaged and derelict Colonial space stations scattered throughout the DMZ, abandoned or heavily damaged as a result of the Colonial-Okkar War. Remains of Colonial forces are seen all over the sectors, but encounters with Colonial enemies are rare, due to the peace treaty between the Colonials and the Okkar not permitting them access to the Demilitarized Zone.Ĭolonial Structures - Derelict Stations Īn in-game screenshot of a very damaged derelict station
