Pirate Ship Scan

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

  1. Open your Backpack and click on the Pirate Ship Scan.
  2. Select the desired target tier from the popup selector.
  3. 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.
