Vertical logistics from orbit
Nichts fährt aus einer Halle: Stationsmodule wie Truppenfeld, Uplink oder Orbitallabor werden im Orbit gefertigt und mit [TAB] an die Station angebaut, Gebäude für die Karte fallen als Kapsel in die Bauzone. Jede Bodeneinheit wartet nach der Produktion in den Abwurf-Reihen und fällt per Klick, als ganze Reihe oder am Sammelpunkt ihres Landefelds - mit Forschung überall dort, wo eigene Einheiten gerade hinsehen. Die Wirtschaft fliegt: Frachtfähren tragen halb so viel wie andere Sammler, brauchen aber keinen Weg; ein Frachter bringt die Ladung vom Frachtterminal hinauf zur Station.
Almost all of it sits behind research: every production building offers one combat unit to begin with, everything else you unlock in the tree.
3DThe Beacon Carrier is the Orbitals' MCV: it carries a folded Landing Beacon and unfolds it on the spot. Heavy, slow, unarmed - and the only rescue when the last beacon falls.
3DThe Bastion Walker is the Orbitals' heavy mech and the most heavily armored unit in the ground roster. Anchored (deployed) it becomes a field position with more range - mobile it is just a slow target.
3DThe Breach Walker is the Orbitals' demolition mech: ram shields, short-barreled gun, armor 23. Against buildings and walls it deals many times its damage, against units it is merely tough.
3DThe Field Technician is the Orbitals' repair truck: an aura that repairs vehicles and mechs nearby. It does not heal infantry and positions itself behind the front line on its own.
3DThe Cargo Ferry is the Orbitals' flying harvester. It ignores cliffs, walls, and traffic jams, but carries only half of what other harvesters do and, at 60 hit points, is the most vulnerable economic unit in the game. Four can unload at the Cargo Terminal at once; out of combat it slowly self-heals.
3DThe Orbital Bomber is the Orbitals' bomber: it drops a carpet of cargo containers that burst on impact. Slow, vulnerable, but devastating against buildings and dense formations.
3DThe Grav Net is the Orbitals' mobile flak: a vehicle that slows and damages aircraft with gravity pulses. It has no weapon against ground targets.
3DThe Grav Gunner is the Orbitals' flak infantry: its gravity shot hits only aircraft and leaves behind a zone that slows them down. It cannot fire at ground targets.
3DThe Grapple Mech is the Orbitals' tank-buster: an armored walker with two guided-missile rails that reliably cracks light and medium tanks. It hits infantry poorly, and its effect tapers off against super-heavies.
3DThe Lift Ferry is the Orbitals' transport - flying. Five infantry aboard, over any terrain, and if it is shot down the passengers bail out.
3DThe Hunter Mount is the tank destroyer of the Orbitals: a rigid barrel in a casemate, no turret. It outranges every other ground vehicle of the faction and punches straight through medium and heavy tanks, while its effect tapers off against experimentals. Flank it and you have won - barrel and hull both turn slowly.
3DThe Hunter Walker is the Orbitals' infantry hunter: fast, machine gun on the left, CLAW on the right - it grabs a soldier, crushes him after a second and hurls the body into the next rank. At the refit beacon it takes a gatling or a precision rifle (range 235).
3DThe Landing Capsule is not a buildable unit: it exists for the last two seconds of a drop as an airborne target. Shooting it down destroys the cargo - the owner gets half the cost refunded.
3DThe Landing Tank is the Orbitals' battle tank and the faction's only ground unit with medium armor. It arrives in pairs per capsule - drop a wave and you get pairs.
3DThe Landing Fortress is the Orbitals' titan: a flying battle block with FOUR independent turrets that each pick their own target. When it is destroyed, the crew bails out - four Stormlanders keep fighting.
3DThe Orbital Hammer is the Orbitals' experimental artillery: every {cd} seconds a shell from orbit with a {blast}-pixel blast radius. Range {range}, so below siege towers - it needs cover, not distance.
3DThe Orbital Fighter is the Orbitals' interceptor: fast air superiority against other aircraft, with a hull MG also useful against ground targets. It lands at the Orbital Port to reload.
3DThe Relay Mech is the Orbitals' artillery: a walker that calls down orbital shells in a high arc. Blind at close range, deadly against dug-in positions and infantry clusters.
3DThe Scout Trike is the Orbitals' reconnaissance unit and their cheapest body: three wheels, an open frame, a twin machine gun. It sees further than any of their ground units except the Target Marker and outruns anything that could chase it - against armour it achieves nothing.
3DThe Jump Mech is the Orbitals' light scout mech: fast, far-sighted, with a light rail gun. The entry point into the mech field.
3DThe Storm Colossus is the Orbitals' experimental unit: a super-heavy tank with twin rail cannons that comes down entirely as a capsule. The landing impact stuns everything nearby.
3DThe Stormlander is the Orbitals' basic infantry. It lands on thrusters: for the first three seconds after leaving the capsule it fires at half again the speed. Cheap, numerous, thinly armored.
3DThe Storm Walker is the Orbitals' line mech: medium cannon, armor 18, slow. It carries the front while the Grapple Mech and Relay Mech work behind it.
3DThe Thermite Launcher is the Orbitals' area weapon: a burning thermite cloud that catches a whole rank of infantry at once. Against armour it achieves almost nothing - it is the answer to numbers, not to steel.
3DThe Vacuum Pioneer is the Orbitals' anti-tank infantry: a guided weapon against vehicles and mechs, nearly useless against infantry.
3DThe Target Marker is the Orbitals' scout: very long sight range, no weapon. Around its marker, dropped capsules land with a shorter warning time - it is the one who sets up the wave.
3DThe Troop Field trains the infantry. Finished squads wait in the Landing Beacon's Orbital Reserve and are set down by drop - Stormlanders land with thruster boost and fire faster for the first few seconds.
3DThe Relay Beacon extends the build zone with a second landing circle. Buildings can only be dropped where a beacon has surveyed the ground.
3DThe Ground Relay is the Orbitals' siege turret: it directs orbital fire at distant targets (range 360), but has a blind spot up close (200). Getting in close is safe.
3DThe Landing Beacon is the Orbitals' command center. It marks the build zone that buildings drop into as capsules, and it holds the Orbital Reserve: every finished ground unit waits here in orbit until it is dropped in with a click. If the last Beacon falls, the link to orbit is gone.
3DDer Detektorturm ist ein Anti-Stealth-Sensor: er enttarnt getarnte Feind-Einheiten (Phantom, Geist, Schemen und andere) in einem weiten Radius, sodass deine Einheiten und Türme sie sehen und beschießen können. Selbst unbewaffnet - ein reiner Aufklärungsbau gegen die Tarn-Meta. Benötigt ein Radar.
3DThe Shipyard Link opens orbit to heavy cargo: it unlocks the Storm Colossus and is a prerequisite for the Orbital Shipyard.
3DThe Mech Field builds the Orbitals' two mechs: the Jump Mech as a scout, and the Bastion Walker, which anchors into a field position. Both are dropped, not driven out.
3DThe Grav Anchor is the Orbitals' flak: it drags aircraft down with a gravity field - every hit leaves behind a zone that slows flying craft. It ignores ground targets without research.
3DThe Orbital Port is the landing site for Orbital Fighters and Orbital Bombers. Aircraft arrive by normal approach like anywhere else, not from the reserve.
3DThe Kinetic Rod is the Orbitals' superweapon: a tungsten rod that drops vertically from orbit after a brief targeting phase. The impact hits everything nearby, then leaves a glowing afterglow zone that damages anyone who walks into it. No missile, no flight - just a point and five seconds of warning.
3DThe Orbital Shipyard is the Orbitals' titan hall. It assembles the Landing Fortress - a flying battle block with four independent turrets that falls from orbit like everything else.
3DThe Solar Array feeds the orbital station first - that is where assembly and resupply come from - and distributes the remainder to the facilities on the ground. It has no turbine and no reactor: a field of mirrors that takes nothing else down with it when destroyed. Each upgrade adds another row of panels.
3DThe Uplink is the Orbitals' radar - and the gateway to drop research: with "Forward Landing", units can land anywhere friendly units are currently looking.
3DThe Rail Pile is the Orbitals' cannon turret: an accelerator driven into the ground that punches through tanks at range. Slow, hard-hitting, power-hungry.
3DThe Cargo Terminal is the Orbitals' refinery and has FOUR landing pads: four Cargo Ferries unload at once, each in five seconds. In exchange the ferries carry only half the load of other harvesters - the throughput comes from the pace, not the payload.
3DThe Sentinel Pod is the Orbitals' MG nest: it drops fully built from the sky (12s), runs without power, and fires fast against infantry. Cheap, available instantly anywhere in the build zone.
3DThe Cargo Depot increases storage capacity. A container stack under the beacon - cheap, iron only, no power draw.
3DThe Orbital Lab researches the Orbitals' tech trees: cargo logistics, the drop chain, unit classes, and defensive installations.
3DDas Trägersegment ist reine Struktur: es produziert nichts und lagert nichts, sondern verstärkt die Orbitalstation. Jede angrenzende Zelle trägt danach mehr Gewicht - erst damit lassen sich die Flügel über und unter der Mittellinie mit schweren Modulen bebauen. Selbst ist es leicht und hat vier Anschlüsse, es ist also der Verbinder, an dem die Station weiterwächst.
3DThe Vehicle Field produces ground vehicles and the flying economy: Cargo Ferries, Lift Ferries, and the Beacon Carrier. Ground vehicles go into the Orbital Reserve and fall as a capsule.
3DThe Orbital Dock repairs vehicles and mechs. The Orbitals salvage no wrecks and do not self-repair - the Dock is their only way to recover damaged materiel.
3DThe Target Mirror is the Orbitals' sniper turret: a mirror array that focuses orbital light into a precision beam. Hits almost every time, but needs time between shots.
Nothing found.
