alright. thanks for the clarification. i've got one more question though:
1 - will it ever be possible for alien structures to warp in?
i know it was said that incursion would be fleet based but what kind of invasion force (alien or otherwise) doesn't set up some kind of forward base?
*note* this could potentially be a workaround for alien fleets dropping resources
Yup the aliens are attempting to setup a hive for their Queen. The plan is to construct hives for them to breed and take over the Galaxy.
First step is Incursion. Second step once the hives are in place: assimilation / destruction.
Out task is simple: Get rid of them
Basically this is the first step. In the future we should see several alien buildings, planets etc.
