A derelict capital ship drifts slowly across the Orion. At its core stands a flag. Capture it for your faction to trigger a free-for-all loot drop.
① CONQUER THE GREY FLAG
The flag starts GREY with its 60s timer locked. Your faction must have at least 3 ships inside the ring and out-number every rival by 3 or more. Hold that majority for 10 seconds to seize the flag.
② HOLD FOR 60 SECONDS
Once seized, the flag turns your faction colour and the 60-second drop timer starts counting down (it never increases). Keep control until it reaches zero and the loot drops.
③ DON'T LOSE IT
You lose the flag (it returns GREY) if either: the whole ring stays empty for 10 seconds, or a rival faction out-numbers you and you fail to claw back to an equal-or-greater count within 10 seconds.
④ THE LOOT
Crypto (banked only when you fly it home), raw materials, and — rarely — equipment scatter across the ring. Anyone can grab it, allies and rivals alike.
The scoreboard (top-left) tracks how many captures each faction has completed this event.
Every ship we fly today was shaped by the pilots who took the time to report a bug, suggest an idea, or just tell us what didn't feel right. That time is the one thing we can never give back — so this is us saying it mattered.
