Mines/Starbases

from Sins Forums

I'm actually embarrassed to say this but I'm in the middle of my first game of the Entrenchment Beta and I can't, for the life of me, find where I can lay down mines and create a starbase.  I see the Research tab for Security (Vasari) and I've researched some "Starbase Upgrades" but I don't know how I actually going about creating them and also laying down some mines.

 

Sorry for the ridiculous question.

 

Thanks!

No problem. I dont have entrenchment, but I think there is a ship that constructs starbases. and minelayer frigates lay mines, am I correct?

On the Security research tab, you can research a ship called the Ruiner, from which you can deploy mines.  It's pretty high up-tier 5, I think.

Also on the same tab, you can research the starbase construction tech, given to Jarun Migrators(the colony frig).  Build a colony frig and then use the deploy button on the interface(next to the "colonize" button) to deploy the base where you choose.  This is tier 3.

Don't forget that mousing over the research icons gives you a description of what that research does....shouldn't be too hard to find the right ones.

I know exactly what you mean Raptor.

 

I think my problem was I'm using my Cap ship to colonize in the early game and didn't build any colony frigs.

 

Thanks!
