Different Speed
In this arena we will process weeks every hour and days every 12 minutes. Keeping the 1:5 ratio. This was requested by quite a few players, so here it is!
Patrol / Patrol & Defend
2 new ship/fleet actions have been added, "Patrol" and "Patrol & Defend".
Patrol allows you to command your ships/fleets to fly on a predefined route and scan for activity.
Patrol & Defend does the same thing, only once an enemy is detected it will automatically activate a Follow & Attack order against the detected enemy. Once the enemy has been destroyed the ship/fleet will return to the route and resume patrolling.
These 2 new commands rely on routes. which you can simply draw on the map. Assign any ship/fleet to it and multiple ships can patrol the same route with just a few clicks.
Routes can be edited directly on the map, any ships/fleets on that route will auto adjust.
New Wiki
Although we have an in-game tutorial. More documentation is needed. Many aspects are only explained roughly or not even touched in the in game tutorial.
Our new wiki will be a place where players can get more in-depth information on how Ferion works.
You can find it here : https://wiki.ferion.com/
Writing documentation requires a lot of work, so we'll update the wiki as time allows us. If you wish to help then simply contact us on Discord!
Battle Simulator
In the command screen you can now find a battle simulator, where you can build fake fleets and planet defenses and let them fight against each other with the goal to have a better idea of what your fleets are capable of defeating.
