About this game
As deep space mission control auxiliary, you are in charge of the implementation and management process of the RECOG project. With a care package from Earth, you are to build an industrial complex as the first line of defense against the enemy RECOGs. Dig deep in the landscape to uncover precious minerals and oids in order to create your stronghold. Fortify your defenses with an army of starships, equipped with special abilities and weaponry to protect that all-important industrial landscape. Be conscious in your decisions and prioritize the construction wisely. For the more advanced you become, the enemy RECOGs will revise and react accordingly.
This not your ordinary real-time strategy game.
It is about understanding the mind of an enemy who learns and adapts to your playing style in order to crush you.

No tutorials? There seems to be some confusion.. Yes there is! Mission Control Auxiliary Defense Guide Beginner, Completed Mission Control Advanced Guilde Advanced, On going Informal Completed, not really tutorials. Why not in beta branch? Version 1.1.4 Phoenix in the Production branch suffered from serious problems that appeared after we applied a patch we received for the Engine in order to fix Load Time Degradation. At the moment it was brought to our attention, the August Revision contained many other improvements and we decided to release the August Revision in the Production branch for this month.

The first request happens on Cycle 14. Note: For those of who who are already way past that, It will begin on the Next Cycle. In order for Central to perform the Exchange all the Components will need to be placed in the same Storage containment unit furthermore it will need to be exposed with no Non-Walkable cells above it all the way to Depth 130. Central will send beams from time to time to your exposed Storage containment unit scanning the content and then performing the Exchange. The first Request is 4 Components. Each time a Request is fulfilled the next one is increased by 1 to a maximum of 48. After a Request is fulfilled the next one will come in 2 Cycles. The more Components are traded the more, and better, Fragments you will obtain. The Request will expire in 5 Cycles. Each time a Request is failed the next one is decreased by 1 to minimum of 4. After a Request is failed the next one will come in 3 Cycles. You can access current Request next to the Event Log Window icon. Note: A visual will appear should there be a current Request from Central. RECOG A.I Improvements: Combat: RECOGs with work better together when trying to breach an Ambush/.
