General[]
Planetary Cargo Fleets carry Helium-3, Mineral Ore or Antimatter from resource fields to Processing Complexes owned by the VEGA Federation inside the same planet. Higher level fleets also have a chance of containing a blueprint fragment.
Each cargo fleet is labelled with its resource colour (yellow for Helium-3, blue for Mineral Ore, purple for Antimatter) and its level (shown next to its name in brackets). Higher level fleets drop more resources but are also more challenging to defeat.
Resource fields are located all around the planet, with each resource field being categorized in a specific 'Tier' which determines the levels of fleets that can spawn from it at any given time. The Helium-3 and Mineral Ore fields have the following tiers: [Tier 1 (1-5)], [Tier 2 (7-13)], [Tier 3 (15-20)], and [Tier 4 (23-27)]. Antimatter resource fields instead exist as [Tier 3 (15-20)], [Tier 4a (23-25)] and [Tier 4b (27-30)].
Helium-3 resource field.
Resource fields show a number - the level of the next fleet that spawns from it - and a timer below the field that shows how long until the next fleet spawns.
Cargo fleets of levels 1-17 wait in resource fields until the next fleet launches before heading towards the Complex.
When defeated, any excess cargo that does not fit in your fleet's cargo hold will drift on the map for 45 seconds, allowing you (or other players) to collect it with another fleet.
