Expeditions

Expeditions are a system of tasks for tracking a satellite that is falling out of orbit. The satellite was inhabited by scientists who were developing blueprints; when the craft was damaged, these blueprints ended up scattered across the expedition locations. The player sends out reconnaissance to these points to gather information about the satellite and find the surviving blueprints — without leaving the base. Each expedition runs for a set time, runs in the background, and on completion gives out a random set of trophies.

There are five main points in total, lined up into a story chain — from Outpost to Launch Site. Each next one unlocks only after the previous one is completed, and the further down the chain, the more expensive the launch and the more valuable the loot. Daily Recon (Outpost) stands apart — it's free, doesn't belong to the chain and is available once per day on cooldown.

How it works

The player picks an available expedition and presses "Launch". The launch costs EXP (except for the free daily one), after which the expedition starts running on a timer. Only one expedition can be running at a time. Throughout you can see progress in percent and how much time is left. When the timer hits 100%, the expedition can be claimed.

Rewards

Each expedition fills from a few to five trophy slots, drawn randomly from its own pool. The higher the level of the point, the higher the tier of the loot: early expeditions mostly give base blueprints, later ones — blueprints for weapons, armor and explosives of the top tier. Every pool always has a small chance of a jackpot regardless of the level. Additionally, on claim there's a 5% chance to refund the EXP spent on the launch.

Storage

Received trophies don't go straight into the inventory but into the Storage. From there each item can be either taken into the inventory or exchanged back for EXP — so unwanted loot is converted into currency for the next, more expensive expeditions.
