Summary
The Relay Station is a Dark Fog structure build and deployed by the Space Hive. It serves as the bridgehead between Hive and Planetary Base and is able to deploy a Core Driller which consecutively constructs a Planetary Base after arrival on a planet. Since it is the foundation of the Dark Fog's growth, the destruction of Relay Stations that currently occupy a planet is paramount to declaring full scale war to the Space Hive, leading to rapid increase of their threat-meter. The Relay Station sends vessels with matter from the Planetary Base to the Hive, and receives in turn energy from the Hive for the Planetary Base.
Trivia
- Relay Stations hovering above the Planet are considered upper air targets
- Each Relay needs 10 minutes and 10.800 matter to be built by a Space Hive and 5 additional minutes to fully charge with energy. Then it will attempt to occupy a planet.
- Once a stationed Relay has at least 10.900 matter, a supply ship containing 6000 matter gets sent to the Hive.
- If the destroyed Core Driller is either filled with Foundation or occupied by a Geothermal Power Plant, the Relay will leave.
- Relays prefer to settle on planets with lower player presence.
