Territory Capture is an alliance-wide activity where alliances compete for control of special territories in space that grant powerful buffs and benefits.
The safeties are off during Territory Capture. Teamwork, coordination, and strategic planning are essential for success. Alliances must balance between direct combat and speed-based tactics to secure points and hold control.

Strategy Overview

  • PvP Approach:
    Use your best ships with a strong PvP crew for direct confrontations and node control.
    • Ideal for eliminating enemy ships on nodes or countering enemy PvP fleets.
  • Speed Approach:
    Use your fastest ships with a speed crew to outrun opponents and maximize time in the contested system.
    • Useful for scoring points by remaining in-system, covering nodes with minimal repair costs, or acting as bait (e.g., distracting enemy Sarcophagus ships until reinforcements arrive).
