New Feature: Crystal and Resource Tapsites!
Seize Control of Tapsites to get Free Crystals and Resources!
Commander!
New advancements in satellite detection technology have led to the discovery of new Resource harvesting locations known as Tapsites!
Tapsites are new places on the Map which may contain Uranium, Titanium, Credits, Crystals, or Bioplasma. Unlike Deposits, the number of Resources you may gather from a Tapsite depends on the overall carrying capacity of the Defensive Troops you have stationed there.
You will need BOTH Offensive and Defensive Troops to Capture a Tapsite, but Defensive Troops will NOT engage in the battle. All surviving Offensive Troops will be automatically returned to your Bunker. If you successfully Capture the Tapsite, Defensive Troops will start gathering Resources there. The number of Resources that they can gather depends on their carrying capacity. The more Defensive Troops you send, and the bigger their carrying capacity, the more Resources you can collect!
If your Troops are defeated, and an enemy takes control of the Tapsite, all surviving Troops will return to your Sector with all the Resources they were able to collect.
You will be able to view your captured Tapsite’s information under the “Tapsites” tab at the Command Center.
By Attacking or Capturing these Tapsites, you can get free Resources, Crystals, Experience Points, Tournament Points, and/or Points for the Rankings!
Be advised:
- You must build the Radar in your Sector in order to detect Tapsites.
- You must build the Air Field in your Sector in order to Recon Tapsites.
- You may only send Reinforcements to your own captured Tapsites.
- You may NOT send Joint Attacks to Capture or Attack a Tapsite.
- If you send Offensive and Defensive forces to Attack (not Capture) a Tapsite, all Troops will participate in the attack. It is therefore not recommended to send Defensive Forces on Attack missions.
- Initially, you may capture a maximum of 3 Tapsites, indicated by the number of "Harvesters" you possess. To Increase the number of Tapsites you may capture, visit the Tech Nexus and upgrade "Maximum Deposits and Tapsites" to Level 30.
Good luck, Commander!
