When you initially activate an acceleration gate and “slide” into the plex, you will arrive within 2.5km of a “beacon” in space. | When you initially activate an acceleration gate and “slide” into the plex, you will arrive within 2.5km of a “beacon” in space. This beacon should be visible on your overview as you land, if not, adjust your overview settings to display it, as this is a key factor in plex combat. | ||
Any ship entering the plex will also arrive within 2.5km of this beacon – there is no way to warp in at range. The exception is | Any ship entering the plex will also arrive within 2.5km of this beacon – there is no way to warp in at range. The exception is large-sized plex, which have no acceleration gate, and therefore can be warped to at range as with any normal cosmic object | ||
The beacon is key to fighting in a plex, as it means that when inside a plex, you know exactly where an enemy ship will enter. Likewise, when entering a plex where an opponent is already within, they will have positioned themselves knowing where you will appear. This always gives a slight advantage when fighting to the ship which is already inside the plex, and | The beacon is key to fighting in a plex, as it means that when inside a plex, you know almost exactly where an enemy ship will enter. Likewise, when entering a plex where an opponent is already within, they will have positioned themselves knowing where you will appear. This always gives a slight advantage when fighting to the ship which is already inside the plex, and a large part of the various trategies for frighting in a plex is based around this mechanic. | ||
