As the name suggests, PvE is an acronym for 'Player versus Environment'. This class of gameplay involves human players (also known as 'Mercenaries' by in-game NPC officiers) battling against AI-controlled ships, turrets, accompanied with some other objectives in-game, such as cargo escorting and (to boost rewards) bonus sub-missions including destroying a specified target or retrieving multiple objects in an environment.
A team of 4 pilots<ref>В Number of pilots to complete the battle may differ.</ref>. Each pilot can slot up to 4 ships but only take one ship into battle per stage.


==Stages==
*Missions for ranks 1-17 have multiple dynamic difficulty levels from 1 to infinity. Players initially have access only to the first difficulty level. Subsequent levels will become available as you progress through the previous ones. Enemies in the missions become stronger with each level. Mission level is selected by players on the ship selection screen. Players are also able to get stronger as part of the PvE missions, by buying their own special bonuses that only work in PvE.
Each mission is broken into several phases<ref>Usually the mission is divided into 3 phases</ref>.  
After each stage all ships are repaired as "New" and restocked with ammo.
Stages can offer ' special conditions '. For example, constant restoration of a shields to all ships and/or hull repair.


==Recovering a downed ally==
*'''A certain mission can only be selected by a commander of squad of 4 pilots. Single pilots can go to one of 2 current random missions.'''
PvE is a mode that does not offer an auto-respawn upon destruction of a ship unless the current stage objective is complete and another stage is about to begin. If your ally's ship is destroyed, you can recover it. For this purpose it is necessary to fly up to the wreck of his ship and purchase a duplicator with GS<ref>Galactic Standards - Currency purchased in game</ref>, or by using a duplicator from your inventory.
If you are destroyed, you can recover your ship by purchasing a duplicator with GS or by using a duplicator from your inventory.
Keep in mind that once all the individual player's ships picked for a certain stage are destroyed, the mission will end up a failure.

==Characteristic features==
===Team Size===
By default, a team of 4 pilots are selected, using ship ranks as the Matchmaking factor. The number of pilots required to start a Mission may differ in certain cases, such as during high matchmaking times, the Matchmaker will select 3 or even only 2 pilots are required to start a Mission, the absent pilots compensated by allied AI-controlled ships (no change in difficulty).
 
===Stages===
Each mission is typically broken into several phases. Usually, the mission is divided into 3 phases, but can vary from each Mission. Some missions do not offer stages and is replaced by varying waves of enemies.
 
===Respawning upon Destruction===
If your ally's ship is unfortunately destroyed, you can recover it, assuming he/she hasn't initiated the "Reconstruction" of his/her ship. To respawn him/her manually, you will need to approach the wreck of his ship and interact with it. If you are destroyed, you can also recover your ship, but no more than 5 times [Tip: Premium ships can respawn once for free]. In the worst-case scenario, all players' ships will be destroyed. At this point, the screen will flash red, saying "WARNING: No live players. The mission will end.". After the timer runs out, the mission will result in a failure.

Cybers never posed a serious threat, but recently scouts in one of the zones in Solaris system discovered an unidentified object resembling a radar installation for long-range signature scans. We have data that allows us to believe Cybers are behind this. Family agents are watching them, trying to understand exactly what the Cybers are studying with this installation. Given the situation, the family cannot afford a large-scale attack on this outpost, but suspects that the information collected by the Cybers can be very valuable.

|Mining rig is a key object bringing profits to its owners. It's not just an important part of the sectors resource base — it is also used as an outpost. Cartel forces have been trying to capture it for a long time to reap the credits and move deeper into Federation zones. Finally, when the Federation sectors were invaded by Aliens, the Cartel seized the opportunity to capture the station together with a cargo ship, and started building up defenses. Losing the station means undermining the Federation's economic potential in the nearby systems, affecting the fight with Aliens. This is why regaining control of the station is an important mission trusted to the mercenaries.

During the invasion, the Aliens attacked the Cartel flagship — it was seriously damaged, yet still retained combat capability... The Cartel is repairing the Dreadnought to continue the attack.

Since all the Federation fleet forces have been sent to defend the systems from the invasion, it is vital to prevent the Cartel from restoring the dreadnought and using it to continue attacks on our positions.

Intro

As the name suggests, PvE is an acronym for 'Player versus Environment'. This class of gameplay involves human players (also known as 'Mercenaries' by in-game NPC officiers) battling against AI-controlled ships, turrets, accompanied with some other objectives in-game, such as cargo escorting and (to boost rewards) bonus sub-missions including destroying a specified target or retrieving multiple objects in an environment.

  • Missions for ranks 1-17 have multiple dynamic difficulty levels from 1 to infinity. Players initially have access only to the first difficulty level. Subsequent levels will become available as you progress through the previous ones. Enemies in the missions become stronger with each level. Mission level is selected by players on the ship selection screen. Players are also able to get stronger as part of the PvE missions, by buying their own special bonuses that only work in PvE.
  • A certain mission can only be selected by a commander of squad of 4 pilots. Single pilots can go to one of 2 current random missions.
  • All pilots completing PvE missions get a special valuable resource “Insignia”.
    • The earned Insignia can be used to enhance your defences and power in PvE missions.
