Health
The daily grind in the depths of space asks a lot of the Daedalus crew , who find their mental and physical Health diminishing with each passing day. Maintaining your
Health Points and
Morale is one of your many responsibilities in the fight against the
Mush, which eventually proves difficult as you are beset by Dangers from all sides. Deaths of vital personnel and depleted resources will drive you to carefully guard every precious point you have, and force you to cooperate with others to restore them as efficiently as possible.
To the left of the play area is the display for your health. Over your picture is a collection of icons representing special statuses, and just below that are your
and
gauges. Special statuses can be good or bad, and hovering over the icons will give a description and sometimes advice.
