Discovery #6 - Summoning

The ability to summon ships to where the Discovery is located is a very fast way of getting to locations. This can be used to:
1. Quick swap mining nodes (summon ship back to base, Jump Discovery back, Summon mining ship to node) - (Use Pan/Klaa crew on Discovery for very fast impulse for this trick)
2. Quickly taking back a mining node
3. Recall all ships for a base move
4. PvP war
5. Territory Takeover

*Summoning to special space does not get around the token requirements


As the Discovery ship gets upgraded, the cost to jump gets improved. This can also be enhanced by using the proper crew.


The best crew to use for the Discovery is based around the Jump and Summon ability.

Discovery #5 - Strength in Numbers

This event benefits from alliance coordination to find the bonus system quickly. It is a really fun event, but cannot be played whenever you want, it has a set schedule.

*This event is no longer running, as it required players to schedule their times to compete in STFC.


Discovery #4 - Research

On Arc 2 of Discovery, some research has been added to the Galaxy section. This research improves the Discovery ship abilities (Mycelium Efficiency, Warp Range, Impulse Speed, and Summoning Ships). This research will require Spore Drive Components, which will get rewarded more for players participating in events (Hint Hint). The ability to Summon Ships will not get unlocked until Mycelium Efficiency is maxed out, and it is locked to LVL30 or Higher players.

EDIT: Both Efficiency and Impulse MUST be max before Summoning can be unlocked.

Discovery #3 - Refinery

How to get more material for Jumps as well as parts to upgrade the ship.

Each side has a 22h cool down

Everything starts with the Discovery Refinery Tokens, which is gained by participating in events. The holdup for upgrading the Discovery and improving the cost efficiency as the ship is tiered up is Spore Drive Components. These parts are sometimes attainable in the Event Store, again, requires player participation in events to gain loot.



Discovery #2 - Anomalous Phenomena Events

This event when originally released was ran for 15 minutes at the top of the hour. Now when these events are available, it doesn't have the time restriction, other than the day it is available.

Two different types (Look at event, grab crew, and Jump to system quickly to score points):
Hostile grind
Material Gather





Discovery #1 - Ship Intro

This ship has the ability to skip the warp time and zap straight to systems (later summoning of ships as well). It costs a new material per jump, and the ship doubles as a mining ship for that material as well.

When mining Mycelium Spores:
Maxed Horizon: 20625/h
LVL5 Discovery: 27500/h

With 10of10 on either ship, 800 nodes are cleared in less than 1 min. When Discovery gets leveled up, mining rates go up, so using the Discovery is more efficient, and the added benefit of Jumping to the systems.
