Corporate objects -- Dyson Spheres and Outposts -- are built by the entire corporation on free stars of the Galaxy. The more Corporate objects are built, the larger the territory of the corporation becomes. The larger the territory, the more planets can be located on it and get some bonuses!
There’re quite a lot of details in the mechanic of corporate objects and territories, so let’s talk about them step by step.
- Only the CEO, Co-Founder or the CSO of the corporation can choose a star to start the Corporate object construction.
- Construction of an object requires some resources and a fleet. The more fleet is at the object, the faster the construction proceeds. Participants of the construction process will receive a reward corresponding to their contribution.
- A complete Dyson Sphere gives invulnerability to planets within the solar system of its star. Beware, the solar system is smaller than the territory that the Sphere captures.
- Spheres increase the available limit for the construction of Outposts — you cannot build an Outpost if at least one Sphere has not been built.
Outpost limit — 3 Outposts per 1 Sphere. - Outposts are cheaper than Spheres in construction, but they occupy less territory and do not provide an invulnerability bonus.
At the same time, they cannot be built just anywhere in space — the territory of the new Outpost must be adjacent to the territory of the corporation.
If, after construction of the Outpost is complete, someone destroys the adjacent corporate object and strip the corporation of the adjacent territory, thus severing the territorial connection, the Outpost will become inactive (—> will not give you the territory anymore).
- Enemies cannot teleport to the corporation's territory.
But if a person leaves the corporation, they will remain on its territory! - An attack on an enemy Corporate object is possible if your territory shares borders with it, which means you cannot immediately attack the Corporate object in the center of the foreign turf: first you need to "pinch off" the Corporate objects in front of it + build up your own borders close to it.
- After a successful attack, the object will begin to gradually collapse. It can be repaired if the CEO (or the Co-Founder) stops the destruction. If not to do this, it will explode when its durability reaches 0 “health points”.
- To make territory management processes easier, there will appear a new tab in the corporation menu where you can oversee the ongoing conditions of every corporate objects and captured support facilities.
