In this Space Nation Exploration Ship Guide, we will introduce the unique mechanics, gameplay, and potential exclusive rewards of the exploration ship.

The Bering X-Pathfinder Edition will be added to the game in the upcoming update. Space Nation has opened up a new exploration gameplay and mode for all captains to experience. The important function of the exploration spaceship in the current version is to find abnormal chips. These chips can be used to open various unique instances and obtain generous rewards from them. This article will help you understand how to play the detection mode and quickly find the chips. First step, equip your spaceship The exploration ship can install two special components: the wave-particle detector and the analyzer, with the DYNE I analyzer provided directly with the ship in the form of a bound part. You can use the manufacturing system to spend a small amount of resources to build the Spark2000 detector produced by the Sparktech company and install it on the ship.

The detector will allow you to find abnormal signals in space and discover abnormal point coordinates.

The DYNE analyzer will faithfully record these coordinates in the chip.

Second step, resupply Both the detector and the analyzer have their own energy consumption. The detector needs to be replenished with energy in the dock after being used for a period of time before it can be used again. You need to consume the “Blade Energy Unit” to replenish it, and the energy unit can be made with basic materials in the manufacturing system. The analyzer will consume computing power when you write chip data, and the computing power will automatically replenish at UTC 00:00:00 every day. When the ship’s computing power is insufficient, you will not be able to obtain abnormal chips. You can easily check the remaining energy or computing power of these two parts on the ship’s HUD.

Third step, find the anomaly Anomalies are scattered throughout the universe. If your spaceship is equipped with a detector component, you will be able to find traces of anomalies through the HUD. The detector will highlight the direction of the anomaly in blue arc on the HUD. When you aim at an anomaly, you can get the approximate distance of the anomaly.

Through the star map and HUD, you will be able to easily find the area where these anomalies are located. When you get close enough, you will receive a found anomaly prompt. At this time, you can activate the function of the detector to find the approximate location of the anomaly coordinates. Then, you can try to approach the anomaly and use the detector function again to try to capture the coordinates.

Fourth step, get the chip If you are lucky enough, you can directly get the chip coordinates. But usually, you need to explore several times in an area to discover the hidden anomaly coordinates. When you successfully capture the anomaly coordinates, the analyzer will automatically record the coordinate information and encapsulate it in the chip.

Exclusive parts Wave-Particle Detector:

  • The Wave-Particle Detector is an exclusive part of the exploration ship. Through scanning records, it can reveal the specific points of abnormal space for you;
  • The Wave-Particle Detector needs to consume energy points (Energy Points) to scan records. You can charge it by using the Blade Energy Storage Group.
  • You can manufacture the Blade Energy Storage Group at the production workbench in any space station.
  • Spark2000 Detector
  • Electromagnetic wave-particle detector produced by Sparktech. Employing cutting-edge electromagnetic grating to collect information, this device can easily find warp points within nearby surrounding space and record this information for later use.
  • Blade Energy Unit
  • An energy storage device that replenishes energy points for the Wave-Particle Detector, featuring a ring-shaped blade structure capable of autonomously accumulating energy from the particle flow in space. Each time it can replenish 25 units of energy for the detector component. Analysis Chip Encoder
  • The Analysis Chip Encoder is a special instrument installed inside the exploration spaceship that can read the data generated by the Wave-Particle Detector and record it in the exploration chip.
  • When you find an abnormal space using the Wave-Particle Detector, you can use the Analysis Chip Encoder to analyze it. If you’re lucky, you can get the resources contained in the abnormal space;
  • Note: The computing power quota of the Analysis Chip Encoder will be replenished daily. Please make good use of it.
  • DYNE I
  • This DYNE Company innovation is the first generation of multi-dimensional analyzers capable of being carried by spacecraft. It can process a multitude of exploration data, making this groundbreaking multi-function analyzer the most practical and flexible spaceship load analyzer in human history. Using this multi-dimensional analyzer will consume a lot of computing power. When the computing power limit is reached, you will need to wait for the cooldown to automatically replenish. Introduction of the chip You can obtain three types of chips through exploration gameplay, corresponding to different difficulty battle instances. In addition to the 3 types of difficulty, the chip also has 3 quality distinctions. The higher the chip quality and difficulty, the more rewards you can get. Next, we will introduce the battle instance information contained in these three chips.
  • Origin Exploration Chip Echoes of the Trenches You’ve discovered an ancient battlefield in the distant stars. It’s a wasteland, where the once trenches are now only deep scars, proving the brutality of the war that once took place here. These trenches echo with the past among the silence of the stars; you can almost hear the soldiers’ roars, the rumbling of war machines, and the silence following the end of the battle.
  • Sequence Exploration Chip Calls from the Lost City Your spaceship floats in the vast space, where a large space city appears before your eyes. This city has been eroded by time beyond recognition, yet you can still feel its former glory. Silent streets, deserted squares, everything is calling out to you, trying to tell the lost stories. You float in space, feeling the emptiness and oblivion of this city, listening to its calls from the past.
  • Dimension Exploration Chip Whispers from the Rust City You’re walking through an abandoned industrial area, in a city full of rust. Abandoned factories, ruined conveyor belts, discarded robots all whisper about the city’s decline. You can hear the wind whispering in the empty lanes, carrying fragments of countless stories, making people imagine its past prosperity and present desolation. You can hear its whispers in every corner of the city, as if revealing its secrets to you. Use of the chip After you successfully obtain the chip, the chip will enter your backpack. You can open the backpack to view the chip by pressing the [B].
  1. First step, use the chip In the backpack, select the chip and click [Use] to start the task that guides the entrance to the abnormal space. You can only open 1 chip task at the same time.
  2. Second step, follow the task guidance to the entrance of the abnormal space *We strongly recommend that you drive a battleship into the abnormal space. Because there are a lot of enemies in the abnormal space, exploration ships and mining ships have difficulty attacking and defending them effectively.

3. Third step, enter the abnormal space and complete the battle challenge in the space After you enter the abnormal space, a time-limited battle challenge begins. You need to defeat as many enemies as possible within the specified time. When the time is up, the system will settle the rewards based on the number of enemies defeated. NOTE: The chip instance can be challenged 5 times a day. The number of challenges will be refreshed at UTC 05:00:00 every day.
