Topics covered: Pirate Ship Scan Generation & Tier Selection Options

A targeted radar scan generated by the Galactic Observatory. Consuming a scan pinpoints and spawns a Pirate Ship directly in proximity to your planet.
Tier Selection
When using a Pirate Ship Scan, you can choose which tier of Pirate Ship to spawn. The maximum selectable tier is determined by your Galactic Observatory building level (Tier 1 at level 1, and higher tiers unlocking at levels 5, 11, 14, 17, 20, and 23).
How to Use
- Open your Backpack and click on the Pirate Ship Scan.
- Select the desired target tier from the popup selector.
- The Pirate Ship appears on the Galaxy Map near your base coordinates. Dispatch your war fleet to destroy it for bounty resources, speedups, and commander experience.
