The ability to participate in Armadas that your Alliance has started is available for all levels, but to start an Armada, the Armada Control Center is required. To build it, you need to be at Operations Level 23!
Armada Tactical cores are also required to build and upgrade the Armada Control Center. They can be purchased in the Alliance Store with Uncommon Armada Credits (earned through participating in Armadas started by your Alliance).
To learn more about how to join an Armada take a look at our  >>guide<<.

General info:
  • Any Officer who provides a debuff (like Hull Breach, Burning, Critical Hit Chance Reduction, etc) can be crewed by only one player, and the debuff is applied to all the players participating in the Armada. For example, one player uses a Hull Breach Officer and all Armada participants get an increased chance for a critical hit.
  • Hull Breach: When an Armadahas a hull breach, it will increase the critical hit damage of player ships within the Armada.
  • Burning: When burning is applied, it reduces Armada hull health by 1%. Eg. If burning is applied for 100 maxed rounds, then the armada will be defeated.
If you're using the one of the generic crew’s above, replace Khan with one of the officers below.
  • Any Officer which provides a Buff to yourself (like Morale, Shield Regen, Increased Self Crit Chance) applies only to the player using them.
  • Using multiple Debuff Officers will not stack results. Coordination is key, discuss the crew you'll use and align with your Alliance!
  • What about the spoils? Armada Loot is divided based on Ship Power. For example, if five players participate in the Armada and they have relatively similar power, the loot is divided equally. If four people are equal, and one player is stronger, the highest ship power will get a larger portion, and the rest will be divided equally.
  • Any abilities that multiply loot gained (Officers/Ship Abilities) are applied after the loot division by ship power is completed.
