Walkthrough
Upon warping to the site a popup appears saying: |
---|
Previous explorers have commented that one of the gates requires a passkey. Alternatively, it can be bypassed by convincing the commander to unlock it. The overseer guards the Starbase Control Tower vigorously. |
You will arrive at an ancient acceleration gate.
First Pocket
There are three options for unlocking the Acceleration gate to the next room.
- Destroy each wave until the fourth wave, and destroy the Corelum Militant Commander
- Approach the Acceleration gate, which sets off the alarm and spawns the fourth wave, skipping waves 2 and 3, and destroy the Corelum Militant Commander.
- Unlock the Acceleration gate by having a Serpentis Silver Tag in your inventory (the tag is consumed).
Attack the Corelum Scout to trigger the next wave.

Tower wave is triggered by attacking the Starbase Control Tower. It will not spawn if the Gate Wave is already destroyed.

Smuggler Gate Operator: Intruders! Defend the gate! A distress signal is sent when the Starbase Control Tower is attacked! Hostile reinforcements are incoming! A group of Core activists have jumped through the stargate to defend the Starbase Control Tower! |
Gate wave is triggered by attacking the Smuggler's Gate. Shooting at the gate will also trigger tower wave if it has not been triggered already.
The gate wave consists of one large group by the gate and three smaller groups scattered around the site. Once all groups are in range the incoming dps can be too much for t1 cruiser.

Core Militant Overseer: Imbeciles. I'm surrounded by imbeciles. I spent a fortune on this place and you can't even defend it from some rag-tag outsiders. Pfft! I deal with you all after I mob the floor with these pests. The overseer has come to defend the stargate. Prepare for a fight. |
The commander wave is triggered by destroying Supervisor's Guardians (in the Gate Wave).

As the dust disperses, you receive a transmission from someone claiming to have had some rather intimite relations with your sister and that he is waiting for you a few jumps away, to see what you are going to do about it. Despite the fact that you have no sister that you know of and the guy sounds like he has been drinking more than just Quafe, you feel a certain temptation to go and see what this is all about. |
