Vertical logistics from orbit
Nichts fährt aus einer Halle: jedes Gebäude fällt als Kapsel in die Bauzone, jede Bodeneinheit wartet nach der Produktion in der Orbitalreserve ihres Landefelds und wird per Klick abgeworfen - mit Forschung überall dort, wo eigene Einheiten gerade hinsehen. Die Wirtschaft fliegt: Frachtfähren tragen halb so viel wie andere Sammler, brauchen aber keinen Weg und laden auf vier Landepads gleichzeitig ab.
Almost all of it sits behind research: every production building offers one combat unit to begin with, everything else you unlock in the tree.
The Beacon Carrier is the Orbitals' MCV: it carries a folded Landing Beacon and unfolds it on the spot. Heavy, slow, unarmed - and the only rescue when the last beacon falls.
The Bastion Walker is the Orbitals' heavy mech and the most heavily armored unit in the ground roster. Anchored (deployed) it becomes a field position with more range - mobile it is just a slow target.
The Breach Walker is the Orbitals' demolition mech: ram shields, short-barreled gun, armor 23. Against buildings and walls it deals many times its damage, against units it is merely tough.
The Field Technician is the Orbitals' repair truck: an aura that repairs vehicles and mechs nearby. It does not heal infantry and positions itself behind the front line on its own.
The Cargo Ferry is the Orbitals' flying harvester. It ignores cliffs, walls, and traffic jams, but carries only half of what other harvesters do and, at 60 hit points, is the most vulnerable economic unit in the game. Four can unload at the Cargo Terminal at once; out of combat it slowly self-heals.
The Orbital Bomber is the Orbitals' bomber: it drops a carpet of cargo containers that burst on impact. Slow, vulnerable, but devastating against buildings and dense formations.
The Grav Net is the Orbitals' mobile flak: a vehicle that slows and damages aircraft with gravity pulses. It has no weapon against ground targets.
The Grav Gunner is the Orbitals' flak infantry: its gravity shot hits only aircraft and leaves behind a zone that slows them down. It cannot fire at ground targets.
The Grapple Mech is the Orbitals' tank-buster: an armored walker with two guided-missile rails that reliably cracks light and medium tanks. It hits infantry poorly, and its effect tapers off against super-heavies.
The Lift Ferry is the Orbitals' transport - flying. Five infantry aboard, over any terrain, and if it is shot down the passengers bail out.
The Hunter Mount is the tank destroyer of the Orbitals: a rigid barrel in a casemate, no turret. It outranges every other ground vehicle of the faction and punches straight through medium and heavy tanks, while its effect tapers off against experimentals. Flank it and you have won - barrel and hull both turn slowly.
The Hunter Walker is the Orbitals' infantry hunter: fast, machine gun on the left, CLAW on the right - it grabs a soldier, crushes him after a second and hurls the body into the next rank. At the refit beacon it takes a gatling or a precision rifle (range 235).
The Landing Capsule is not a buildable unit: it exists for the last two seconds of a drop as an airborne target. Shooting it down destroys the cargo - the owner gets half the cost refunded.
The Landing Tank is the Orbitals' battle tank and the faction's only ground unit with medium armor. It arrives in pairs per capsule - drop a wave and you get pairs.
The Landing Fortress is the Orbitals' titan: a flying battle block with FOUR independent turrets that each pick their own target. When it is destroyed, the crew bails out - four Stormlanders keep fighting.
The Orbital Hammer is the Orbitals' experimental artillery: every six seconds a shell from orbit with a 55-pixel blast radius. Range 300, so below siege towers - it needs cover, not distance.
The Orbital Fighter is the Orbitals' interceptor: fast air superiority against other aircraft, with a hull MG also useful against ground targets. It lands at the Orbital Port to reload.
The Relay Mech is the Orbitals' artillery: a walker that calls down orbital shells in a high arc. Blind at close range, deadly against dug-in positions and infantry clusters.
The Scout Trike is the Orbitals' reconnaissance unit and their cheapest body: three wheels, an open frame, a twin machine gun. It sees further than any of their ground units except the Target Marker and outruns anything that could chase it - against armour it achieves nothing.
The Jump Mech is the Orbitals' light scout mech: fast, far-sighted, with a light rail gun. The entry point into the mech field.
The Storm Colossus is the Orbitals' experimental unit: a super-heavy tank with twin rail cannons that comes down entirely as a capsule. The landing impact stuns everything nearby.
The Stormlander is the Orbitals' basic infantry. It lands on thrusters: for the first three seconds after leaving the capsule it fires at half again the speed. Cheap, numerous, thinly armored.
The Storm Walker is the Orbitals' line mech: medium cannon, armor 18, slow. It carries the front while the Grapple Mech and Relay Mech work behind it.
The Thermite Launcher is the Orbitals' area weapon: a burning thermite cloud that catches a whole rank of infantry at once. Against armour it achieves almost nothing - it is the answer to numbers, not to steel.
The Vacuum Pioneer is the Orbitals' anti-tank infantry: a guided weapon against vehicles and mechs, nearly useless against infantry.
The Target Marker is the Orbitals' scout: very long sight range, no weapon. Around its marker, dropped capsules land with a shorter warning time - it is the one who sets up the wave.
The Troop Field trains the infantry. Finished squads wait in the Landing Beacon's Orbital Reserve and are set down by drop - Stormlanders land with thruster boost and fire faster for the first few seconds.
The Relay Beacon extends the build zone with a second landing circle. Buildings can only be dropped where a beacon has surveyed the ground.
The Ground Relay is the Orbitals' siege turret: it directs orbital fire at distant targets (range 360), but has a blind spot up close (200). Getting in close is safe.
Der Bunker ist selbst unbewaffnet, kann aber mit bis zu 5 Infanteristen besetzt werden (Rechtsklick, wie beim Transporter): Jeder Insasse feuert mit seiner EIGENEN Waffe aus den Schießscharten heraus - +40% Reichweite, dafür etwas weniger Schaden. Wähle die Besatzung nach dem Feind (Schützen gegen Infanterie, Panzerabwehr gegen Fahrzeuge). Die Insassen sind unangreifbar, solange der Bunker steht - fällt er, sterben sie mit. Benötigt eine Kaserne.
The Landing Beacon is the Orbitals' command center. It marks the build zone that buildings drop into as capsules, and it holds the Orbital Reserve: every finished ground unit waits here in orbit until it is dropped in with a click. If the last Beacon falls, the link to orbit is gone.
Der Detektorturm ist ein Anti-Stealth-Sensor: er enttarnt getarnte Feind-Einheiten (Phantom, Geist, Schemen und andere) in einem weiten Radius, sodass deine Einheiten und Türme sie sehen und beschießen können. Selbst unbewaffnet - ein reiner Aufklärungsbau gegen die Tarn-Meta. Benötigt ein Radar.
The Shipyard Link opens orbit to heavy cargo: it unlocks the Storm Colossus and is a prerequisite for the Orbital Shipyard.
The Mech Field builds the Orbitals' two mechs: the Jump Mech as a scout, and the Bastion Walker, which anchors into a field position. Both are dropped, not driven out.
The Grav Anchor is the Orbitals' flak: it drags aircraft down with a gravity field - every hit leaves behind a zone that slows flying craft. It ignores ground targets without research.
The Orbital Port is the landing site for Orbital Fighters and Orbital Bombers. Aircraft arrive by normal approach like anywhere else, not from the reserve.
The Kinetic Rod is the Orbitals' superweapon: a tungsten rod that drops vertically from orbit after a brief targeting phase. The impact hits everything nearby, then leaves a glowing afterglow zone that damages anyone who walks into it. No missile, no flight - just a point and five seconds of warning.
Die Mauer wird als LINIE gebaut: 1. Klick setzt den Anfang, dann ziehst du die Mauerlinie und ein zweiter Klick baut sie; mit Shift+Klick setzt du einen Knick und baust weiter. Jedes Segment beginnt bei nahezu 0% HP und wächst über einige Sekunden hoch - eine frisch vor den Gegner gesetzte Mauer ist also erst verwundbar. Sehr hohe Panzerung (Beton): Kleinwaffen kratzen kaum, erst Belagerung knackt sie. Blockiert Wege und kanalisiert Angriffe. In eine Mauer lassen sich Tore und Türme setzen, die das Segment nahtlos ersetzen.
The Orbital Shipyard is the Orbitals' titan hall. It assembles the Landing Fortress - a flying battle block with four independent turrets that falls from orbit like everything else.
The Solar Array powers the Uplink, the Lab, and other facilities. It has no turbine and no reactor - a field of mirrors that takes nothing else down with it when destroyed.
The Uplink is the Orbitals' radar - and the gateway to drop research: with "Forward Landing", units can land anywhere friendly units are currently looking.
The Rail Pile is the Orbitals' cannon turret: an accelerator driven into the ground that punches through tanks at range. Slow, hard-hitting, power-hungry.
The Cargo Terminal is the Orbitals' refinery and has FOUR landing pads: four Cargo Ferries unload at once, each in five seconds. In exchange the ferries carry only half the load of other harvesters - the throughput comes from the pace, not the payload.
The Sentinel Pod is the Orbitals' MG nest: it drops fully built from the sky (12s), runs without power, and fires fast against infantry. Cheap, available instantly anywhere in the build zone.
The Cargo Depot increases storage capacity. A container stack under the beacon - cheap, iron only, no power draw.
The Orbital Lab researches the Orbitals' tech trees: cargo logistics, the drop chain, unit classes, and defensive installations.
Das Tor wird wie die Mauer als LINIE gebaut (1. Klick Anfang, 2. Klick Ende, Shift für Knick) - so breit, wie du es brauchst. Es lässt deine eigenen Einheiten passieren: Jedes Segment versenkt sich im Boden, wenn eine eigene Einheit nah ist, und bleibt zu, sobald ein Feind daneben steht - deine Mauerlinie bleibt also durchlässig für dich, aber dicht gegen Angreifer. Setzt du es über eine bestehende Mauer, ersetzt es die Segmente dort. Sehr hohe Panzerung wie die Mauer; jedes Segment wächst beim Bau von ~0% HP hoch.
The Vehicle Field produces ground vehicles and the flying economy: Cargo Ferries, Lift Ferries, and the Beacon Carrier. Ground vehicles go into the Orbital Reserve and fall as a capsule.
The Orbital Dock repairs vehicles and mechs. The Orbitals salvage no wrecks and do not self-repair - the Dock is their only way to recover damaged materiel.
The Target Mirror is the Orbitals' sniper turret: a mirror array that focuses orbital light into a precision beam. Hits almost every time, but needs time between shots.
Nothing found.
