Starfleet Commander Hired Guns comes with Conquest speeds (one-third the flight and build times of Starfleet Commander Original), and introduces new missions, new quests, new ships, new techs, new buildings, new territories, and new mechanics.

Ships and Defenses

In Hired Guns you’ll not only find six new ships in the game, but you’ll find new methods of acquiring and building and ships. The first notable change you’ll find is that some ships belong exclusively to certain races to build.

Human players can build the following ships on their planets:

Icon regen solar satellite.png Icon stealth probe class.png Hermes class.png Solar satellite.png Artemis class.png Atlas class.png Apollo class.png Zagreus.png Charon class.png Hercules class.png Dionysus class.png Poseidon class.png Carmanor.png Gaia class.png Athena class.png Triton.png Prometheus class.png

Alien ships can exclusively be built on Alien Space Docks, or must be stolen with Triton Class Recyclers from NPCs or other players.

Krug ships: Mantus.png Empusa.png Typhon.png Hades class.png Thanatos.png
Urcath ships: Vortex.png Curetes.png Moros.png Ares class.png Roaming planet.png
Seekers ships: Magnon.png Erebus.png Cirrus.png Pallas.png Zeus class.png


Note that the ship types are slightly misleading. Urcath and Krug NPCs will spawn with any ship types regardless of race, and Seekers NPCs in Hired Guns spawn with no ships at all.

Contestable Territories

You can capture one Territory from each planet at a time. While the Territory is in your possession, the benefits of that Territory are linked to the planet that it is connected with. If you lose possession of a Territory and then regain the same type of Territory, you’ll still have the building level and tech level benefits that you previously obtained. Territories will have some Territory specific buildings.

Battle Mechanics

Hired Guns does not award any DSP for attacking inactive players or NPCs.

Newbie Protection

Hired Guns uses the same newbie protection rules as Starfleet Commander Original. This means you have absolute protection until 1,000 RSP. From 1,000RSP to 250,000RSP you can only be attacked by players with 20% to 500% of your RSP value. After 250,000RSP you are open game.

Other Mechanics

This Universe has no moons and no moon unique structures. Therefore, no Oracles, Lunar Docks, or Warp Gates exist in Hired Guns.

There is no soft cap on mines. Hired Guns uses the same mining formula as Conquest.

Vacation mode is available.
