Enemy installations arrive at the archipelago this update. Installations are a new way to encounter enemy AI in larger numbers than ever. Installations are groupings of up to 7 forts, outposts, or airships that spawn across the map randomly. The difficulty and rewards for defeating installations rise based on the mass of ships allied to the ship that spawns it. Rewards for defeating an installation can be claimed from resources caches marked in your HUD and are distributed to all allied teams.
1.12.9
