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.
