Combat in Holosim lets you engage enemy fleets in contested areas. It’s a turn-based system where fleets exchange attacks until one side withdraws or is destroyed.
How to start combat
Move your fleet to the target sector: fleets must be in the same sector as the enemy.
Open the Command menu: click on the sector, then select Command.
Select your fleet: choose the fleet you want to use in combat.
Click “Attack”: then select the enemy fleet you want to target.
Combat exchange: both fleets deal damage. Enemy counter-attacks happen automatically.
Cooldown: after each attack, you must wait for your fleet’s attack power to recharge before firing again.
Combat mechanics
Shields (SP) regenerate automatically over time.
Health (HP) can only be repaired at a starbase with toolkits, or by using toolkits in your fleet’s cargo.
Ammunition is consumed each time your fleet attacks.
The outcome depends on fleet composition, ship types, and preparation.
Where you are safe
Fleets are not attackable while docked at any starbase, inside faction safe zones, or while warping.
Fleets are vulnerable while idle, sub-warping, or mining in medium-risk zones.
