🔭Domination expeditions
Domination Expeditions are the next step after discovering a star in Galaxy Dust Online. They allow players to take control of stars, enabling resource mining, territorial control, and strategic advantages within the galaxy.
How to Initiate a Domination Expedition
Prerequisite: You must have previously discovered a star through an Exploration Expedition.
Access the Expedition Menu:
Navigate to the Expedition section from the main menu.
Select Domination Mode:
Choose the Domination option.
Choose the Star to Dominate:
Select the star you have discovered and wish to dominate.
Assemble Your Expedition Group:
Prepare a fleet equipped with ships, astrobots, tools, and consumables suitable for domination and mining.
Deploy the Expedition Group:
Send your group to the selected star to begin domination.
Mechanics of Domination Expeditions
On-Site Domination:
Your expedition group will remain at the star, actively dominating and mining resources.
Resource Production:
The amount and type of resources mined depend on:
Galaxy Cluster (GC): Different clusters yield varying resources.
Dominion Class (DC): The class of the star affects resource quality and quantity.
Mining Tools: The tool equipped influences mining efficiency and the types of resources collected.
Dominating Influence:
The more stars you dominate within the same Star Cluster, the greater the stat boosts you receive. These boosts enhance your fleet's effectiveness and influence in the cluster.
Duration:
Domination lasts for a maximum of 24 hours.
After this period, your fleet will automatically return to your base.
Travel Time:
Each star has a travel time based on its distance and your fleet's speed.
Plan accordingly to account for the time it takes to reach and return from the star.
Benefits of Domination Expeditions
Steady Resource Income:
Continuous mining provides a periodic influx of resources throughout the domination period.
Strategic Advantage:
Controlling stars strengthens your territorial influence and resource dominance.
Loot Acquisition:
The loot obtained is influenced by your mining tools and the specific characteristics of the dominated star.
Stat Boosts:
By dominating multiple stars in the same cluster, you gain cumulative stat boosts that enhance fleet capabilities and production efficiency.
Tips for Successful Domination
Optimize Your Fleet:
Include a balanced mix of ships and astrobots capable of sustained operations.
Ensure your fleet has adequate defenses in case of encounters with hostile forces.
Equip the Right Tools:
Select mining tools that match the resources available in the chosen GC and DC to maximize yield.
Monitor Asset Durability:
Assets with low HP (10% or less) risk being lost if destroyed. These can become lootable by other players using QMPs.
Plan for Travel Time:
Consider the total expedition time, including travel to and from the star, to effectively schedule your operations.
Risks and Considerations
Hostile Encounters:
Be prepared for potential attacks during the domination period, which could jeopardize your fleet and resources.
Asset Loss:
If your fleet is destroyed, you lose all collected resources and may risk losing assets left with low HP.
Fleet Maintenance:
Regularly check and repair your fleet to maintain optimal performance during extended expeditions.
Domination Expeditions are a crucial aspect of expanding your influence, securing resources, and gaining strategic control in Galaxy Dust Online. The added benefit of dominating influence encourages players to strengthen their presence within star clusters, making domination a key tactic for success in the galaxy.
