Questions about the Deploy Constructor

Post by Gronith »

I there anywhere to figure out what each thing you can build actually does? I have skimmed the manual but haven't found much. I seen a video on youtube explaining the mining probe and sensor station but that is it. Any help on this would be appreciated Thank you.

P.S. I am loving this game so far I'm about 10hrs in.

In addition to the summary in the instructions ( https://www.starwraith.com/evochronlega ... me.htm#504 ), this video likely provides more details you'd be interested in: https://youtu.be/4IdWHDf-5Nc#t=06m32s (starting at 6:32 and a transcript is available at the link in the video description)

Glad you're enjoying the game.

A couple notes on deploying:

1. If you plan to do one or more of the quests, most likely you'll be required to deploy specific modules at certain locations. In such a situation, accuracy is paramount ... so it's a good idea to make use of the readout which you'll see on the right-hand side.


2. Probably the most potent module you can deploy is this one, described in the instructions linked above:
A jump caster lets you travel very long distances to a specified point in space up to 1000 sectors away. The jump caster is linked to your ship's navigation system, so you simply select/enter the destination you want to travel to in the navigation console first. Then deploy the jump caster in the build console to construct it. Flying through the center of the jump caster will then take you to the selected destination.
