The Oracle is a special building that allows you to see fleet movements of nearby planets. This fusion-powered device can only be built on moons, and each scan of a planet costs 5,000 hydrogen. Scans are done from the galaxy page, or the scans page, which only moons have.
- The Oracle shows all fleet movements except harvests and colonization.
- Unlike a probe, you do not receive a notification if a player uses the Oracle to scan your planet.
- The Oracle may only scan a planet and the Hephaestus class roving attack platform, never a moon or debris field. It shows all fleets going to or from the scanned planet or Hephaestus class roving attack platform, however harvest missions will not be seen.
Impact on Fleetsaving
Because the Oracle can see most fleet types, there are only a few ways safe to fleet save if one is in your area.
- Any mission between moons and debris fields. Because the Oracle can only scan planets, any mission launched from a moon that goes to a moon or debris field is safe. For instance, deploys or transports sent from one moon to another. Harvests sent from a moon are also 100% safe.
- Harvest missions are safe from an Oracle.
- Colonization missions are safe.
- Recalled missions are safe.
Range and Costs
The range of the Oracle depends on its level and is:
Range = (Oracle Level)2 - 1
Costs:
| Level | Ore Cost | Crystal Cost | Hydrogen Cost | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 20,000 | 40,000 | 20,000 | 0 (same solar system only) |
| 2 | 40,000 | 80,000 | 40,000 | 3 Solar Systems Away |
| 3 | 80,000 | 160,000 | 80,000 | 8 Solar Systems Away |
| 4 | 160,000 | 320,000 | 160,000 | 15 Solar Systems Away |
| 5 | 320,000 | 640,000 | 320,000 | 24 Solar Systems Away |
| 6 | 640,000 | 1,280,000 | 640,000 | 35 Solar Systems Away |
| 7 | 1,280,000 | 2,560,000 | 1,280,000 | 48 Solar Systems Away |
