Fleets has 4 types of advanced outposts, which you can create by upgrading a basic outpost.
- Mining- Gather resources not only from the hex the outpost is on, but surrounding hexes as well.
- Research – Greatly boost your empire’s research rate.
- Shipyard – Constructs ships much faster than a normal outpost.
- Fortress – Create automated senty guns in all neighboring hexes, allowing you to effectively seal a border.
Anyone trying to get to me has to go through three lines of sentry guns.

Fortress outposts… kinda remind me of… aggressive mines

Inigo, fair point, I suppose that depends on how strong they are and how easy they are to detect before being shot at that might differentiate them.

Fleets will be a different game. You won’t lose your entire months earnings if you die on an aggy mine.

well that’s no fun.

Agreed. How am I supposed to bash LoF now… ?

Tsk, such negativity guys. It just means you have to put EXTRA effort into blowing up a month’s worth of income on random aggies! Comittment these days, it’s a joke!

Aggies just aren’t what they used to be… I remember when you only needed 1 stack!

Speaking of which, will it be possible in fleets to lay down mine fields in your territory or even enemy territory?
June 2, 2010 at 6:20 pm
No, there are no minefields in Fleets.
