Solar Vengeance Strategies: Expansion The key to winning SV6 is to expand quickly and start generating Resources from other StarSystems. Here we'll explain how to expand quickly and get your production machine churning out Resources at a rapid rate. When a new game starts, you may or may not see StarSystems in the Scanner range of your Capital. In this case, we have several StarSystems visible:
Once we know what's in our neighborhood, we will build WarShips to conquer the nearby StarSystems. To conquer a StarSystem, a WarShips needs enough Weapons to penetrate the StarSystem's Shields. For example, Caliads above has 3 Shields, so we need a WarShip with 4 Weapons. To see exactly how many Shields a StarSystem has you may need to click on it. Since these StarSystems are relatively close, we can build low-Engine WarShips to conserve Resources. Also, if one of the StarSystems had many Shields, build multiple WarShips to conquer it instead of a single large WarShip. This will also conserve Resources at your Capital. For example, if a StarSystem has 11 Shields, build 3 WarShips with 4 Weapons each instead of 1 WarShip with 12 Weapons. Now the WarShips are ready to go ...
Next, give each WarShip a Target order by clicking on it and then clicking the StarSystem it should target. Here are the WarShips advancing after they've all been given Target orders:
See, we now have a nice group of StarSystems producing Resources for us. And Caliads has 16 Scanners that allow us greater visibility into the cluster, and reveals the details of the StarSystem Ossa. Ossa has 13 Shields, but it's a high Value 20 StarSystem, so we want to grab it quickly! I would build 2 Weapon 5 and 1 Weapon 4 WarShip to conquer Ossa.
Notice that conquering the nearby StarSystems still left 88 Resources at the Capital! If you don't have any StarSystems nearby when the game starts, build some Weapon 5 or 6, Engine 10 WarShips to scout the nearest StarSystems. When you arrive, conquer them with your scouts if they are valuable enough. If they are low value, create smaller WarShips to come and take these StarSystems and send your scouts to the next closest StarSystems. |
