Siege Stations

The siege station "AsteriFuelDepot", as viewed on the dynmap.

Siege Stations are pre-generated regions in space, that can be captured by nations through military force. A ship of 6,500+ size is required to capture one; this can either be a sufficiently-sized Medium Freighter, or an Attack Frigate.

There are 24 siege stations on Horizon's End, spread across the space worlds Asteri, Regulus, Sirius, Ilios, and Horizon. Stations can be sieged by any nation during their siege window (see "Sieging" section below); however, doing so was typically considered by most nations on the server to be an act of war prior to the removal of perks from them, and thus was typically reserved for nations in active conflict.

Sieging

All siege stations have an assigned 1-hour siege window in which the station is vulnerable to be sieged. As there are 24 siege stations, there is always exactly one station available to siege at any given moment in time. Which station is presently available can be checked by running the command /siege while outside of any siege station radius.

To siege a station, a player in a ship sized 6500 blocks or more must run the /siege command while inside of the station radius. Doing so will send a public message in chat and on Discord (alerting defenders to your actions, if they did not notice you previously), and start a 15-minute siege timer. The siege succeeds if the timer reaches 0; the siege fails if the sieging ship is sunk, unpiloted, or exits the station radius.

Members of the defending nation or its allies may defend the station. The presence of any defending ships sized 6500 blocks or more inside of the station radius halts the countdown of the timer. Defenders and attackers must therefore engage in SvS until only one side's forces remain in the station radius, with the exception of smaller ships such as Corvettes and Starfighters.

Siege Station Benefits

Owning a siege station used to convey benefits to the nation that owned it, which incentivized powerful nations to capture and defend these stations.

Crate Trading Bonus

All members of a nation that owned one or more siege stations received bonus revenue for all crate shipments to Trade Cities or Outposts. This bonus was equal to 5% per owned station, up to a maximum of 30% with 6 stations (additional stations beyond this did not give more bonus).

As this bonus applied to revenue rather than profit, the increase in income derived from this bonus was more than 5% per station, since the cost of buying crates is a constant.

Hyperdrive Warmup Reduction

All members of a nation that owned three or more siege stations would experience reduced hyperdrive warmup times when jumping to hyperspace. The reduction in warmup time was equal to 1.5 seconds per siege station above the second (rounded down). This would present a marginal advantage in ship combat, as a nation that owned several siege stations would be able to jump to hyperspace more quickly than their opponents in combat.

Passive Income

All siege stations added credits per hour to the balance of the nation that owned them, up to a maximum of 300 (which was achieved at 4 stations). This means that owning one siege station for 30 days generated 54000 credits in passive income, an amount which could become considerable with multiple stations across longer stretches of time.

Three siege stations (225 credits per hour) were sufficient to keep up with the 125 credit per hour upkeep cost of owning a Trade City.

The amount of C that siege stations gave was not X per station, instead scaling as:

1 station: 50C/hour. 2 stations: 100C/hour. 3 stations: 225C/hour. 4 stations: 300C/hour.
