The Omicron Hive - Arachnids with a hive mentality, their civilisation was a primitive one until they were contacted by the reptoid race known as the Dhilani. This warlike race almost annihilated the species before the Omicrons surrendered to enslavement. Working under their new masters the arachnids quickly learned the secret of metal working and higher technologies. They built giant spaceships deep within the earth of their homeworld, safe from the prying eyes of the Dhilani. The rebellion against the Dhilani overlords happened swiftly, the earth opening up and spewing hundreds of Omicron spaceships which fought the Dhilani craft viciously as they tried to escape. Thousands of Omicron lives were lost to the reptoid's superior weaponry but the Queenship escaped to deep space, searching for a new home and ready to defend themselves against any interlopers.

Faction unique traits

• 20% cost reduction on small ships.
• 10% cost reduction on capital ships.
• Techbase constructors have 5 minutes preparation time.
• Troop transports and stealth bombers have a mini-AC turret.
• Bomber functions differently to normal:

  • Bomber can drop mines.
• Teleports and refineries combined into one station, the Tele-refinery.
  • TeleRefinery has light armour class.
• Shipyard:
  • Medium class:
    • No frigate available.
    • The devastator is available at medium class.
    • It's skyripper can be used to eliminate minor stations with relative ease, but is quite weak when used against techbase hull.
  • Heavy class:
    • No cruiser available.
    • Advanced devastator available instead. It has two skyrippers instead of one.
    • Battlecruiser does not mount anti-base missiles, but can mount anti-ship missiles and mines.
    • The battlecruiser has 3 gunmounts instead of one. The primary gunmount can mount the A-B Omega cannon.
  • Super heavy class:
    • Battleship does not mount anti-base missiles, but can mount anti-ship missiles and mines.
    • The battleship has 2 gunmounts instead of one.
    • The battleship has skyripper turrets, is a large rip receiver, and relays the lead indicator.

Faction unique tech

• TeleRefinery - light base that is teleporter and refinery
• Hammer turret - an antibase weapon, mounted on bombers (replaces SRM AB)
• Omega cannon - an antibase weapon, mounted on Battlecruisers (replaces Nuke)

Ideal settings

• ??? As the faction has not been released yet, the best settings for a "real" game have yet to be determined.

Faction strategies

• Opening strategy
  • To keep your initial income rolling you may want to push the teleref and use it in its refinery capacity. This will leave you without a home rip however, and you may want to consider getting a carrier.
  • Because their techbase cons take 5 minutes to prepare, you will want to begin partialing investment into early as possible.
