StarSystems
Capturing StarSystems is the key to victory in Solar Vengeance. StarSystems produce Resources that you use to build StarShips, Shields, and Scanners.
Capitals
You can identify a Capital StarSystem by the diamond surrounding it. If your Capital is conquered, you are eliminated from the game.
StarSystem Value
The number preceded by the "V" to the upper left of the StarSystem is its Value. The StarSystem Value determines how quickly it generates Resources.
Shields
The concentric green circles surrounding a StarSystem are its Shields. Shields protect a StarSystem against enemy attack.
Scanners
You will see the Scanners of the StarSystems you own as large dashed circles. Any enemy StarShips (that are not cloaked) within the Scanner radius will become visible to you.
Resources
The value preceded by "R" to the upper right of the StarSystem tells you how many Resources are currently available there. You expend Resources building StarShips, Shields, and Scanners.
Tech Multiple
Every Star Lord has a Tech Multiple, and you can see yours at the bottom of the game interface. Tech Multiples begin at 1.00, but will increase if you build TechShips. The rate at which your empire generates Resources is increased as your Tech Multiple goes up.
