Expeditions

The crew of the Daedalus can embark on expeditions to foreign planets. These expeditions are intended to restock the ship with resources as well as discover various fruits and alien artifacts. Nevertheless, expeditions are not to be taken lightly and some precautions must be taken before one can explore a planet.

To launch an expedition, you first must Find a Planet with the help of the Astrophysics Terminal on the Bridge. The planet can be shared in any chat channel; its text description provides all essential information (required amount of fuel, direction, and sectors) necessary for the trip.

Preparation

Travel

1. A crew member must put the correct amount of Fuel into the combustion chamber in the Engine Room.
2. The current Commander (or someone possessing the Hacker Kit) must turn the Daedalus in the correct direction and initiate the journey from the Command Terminal on the Bridge.

While the ship is traveling toward or orbiting the planet, the entire crew has access to its scan from the Astrophysics Terminal, and scans are less costly if all sectors have not yet been revealed.

 

Launch

In orbit, a planet is visible in the background instead of the simple starry sky of infinite space.

• Once in orbit around the planet, members participating in the expedition must gather in Icarus Bay and equip the various items needed for exploration. Attention: Being in Icarus Bay automatically registers you for the expedition.
