by Fernando Diaz / Articles, SpaceBourne 2 / 05 Feb 2022

In SpaceBourne 2, it’s essential to protect your system from hostile incursions to maintain your turf and progress throughout the game. This comprehensive guide offers step-by-step instructions and strategies for effectively defending a system in SpaceBourne 2.

Spotting an Assault

Monitor the right hand side panel on your display, as it’ll give you a heads-up if any of your stations are under siege. When you spot an attack, head to the menu and check the specifics, such as the attacker’s identity, the targeted station, and the assailant’s firepower.

Gearing Up for Defense

Firstly, you’ll need to assign squads to counter the adversaries. If you’re dealing with low-level foes, use the technique discussed in one of our prior guides to prevent higher-level systems from targeting you. To assign squads, simply add them individually, ensuring the green bar on your screen shifts increasingly in your favor. Make certain you have ample forces to repel the invaders.

Confronting the Enemy

Once your defense squads are set, you have a couple of options: either let your squads battle the enemy solo or head to the assaulted system and lend a hand in the skirmish. To back your squads, click on the map icon in the menu, which establishes a path to the system under siege. Next, proceed to the Stargate to access the system.

Entering the System

Upon arriving at the besieged system, open the system map to pinpoint the combat objective. Choose the target and make your way to the station. Be aware that your ship’s velocity may be impacted if it’s currently overburdened.

Joining the Fray

As you near the conflict zone, you’ll spot various sectors and hostile vessels engaged in battle. Dive in and assist your troops in repelling the attackers. During the skirmish, you might collect valuable items dropped by vanquished foes.

Keeping Tabs on Your Troops

Stay vigilant about your squads’ performance, particularly if you have low-level combatants among them. If your greenhorn fighters are struggling, think about leveling them up before tackling tougher tasks.

Triumph and the Aftermath

Once you’ve vanquished the enemy forces, you’ll have emerged victorious and safeguarded your system. You can opt to let your troops manage future assaults autonomously or continue to back them in combat.
