Outposts
Description
An Outpost is a generic Starbase that has been built from a Transport Vessel and can be placed anywhere in the map within a 100k range from another starbase, however they cannot be within a radius of 23k from another starbase. This is part of the Outpost update.
Outposts are normally created to get closer to the Mega Base or to the opposition. They are also known to spammed in Economy servers due to the high resource collection
Appearance
The Outpost looks exactly like a Starbase.
Creating an outpost
An outpost can be built by a leader of a Faction in exchange of the current selected starbase's resources. Building an outpost costs 25k silicate, 5k carbon, 4k iridium and 1k uranium. When selected a Transport Vessel will fly to the selected spot (very slowly due to the Transport Vessel's lack of a warp drive) and once arrived will start spinning in place for around 20 seconds before spawning a new starbase.
An outpost cannot be named and will instead will take the name of Outpost-(random letter followed by a 2-digit integer)
