EVACUATE!!!
Evacuation game-play is real-time once you have built your colony deck (by selecting your Origin, ship, crew and, probably, passengers or cargo) and investigated and altered your generated crew. The station is under attack and you can decide when you want to leave – but, if you stick around too long, you WILL be blown to pieces. It will be an intense experience!
To escape, you just have three things to do:
- fix/upgrade your hyperdrive,
- load fuel, and
- press the LAUNCH button.
But escaping with an empty ship does you very little good. You can have people and cargo already loaded and/or you can escort passengers and load cargo crates from the station. Both station survivors and station cargo have random value – but there are some very special prizes among them.
The more you stay, the more random starting resources you can get. But, it also means the more damage your ship will take and the better the chance you will be destroyed. It should be obvious that destruction ends your current game (and won't get you any Legacy Rewards.)
