Hunters

Hunters are attack ships sent by the (infected) Federation to destroy the Daedalus. They will come at you relentlessly, and it's up to you and the rest of the crew to get rid of them.

Fighting the hunters

Patrol Ships

Patrol ships are the most effective way to deal with the hunter threat. See Piloting.

Ship Turrets

There are six turrets located on the Daedalus: Two in the front, next to the bridge, two in the middle, connected to the front ship bays, and two in the rear, connected to the engine room. Arranged visually from top to bottom in a column: Rear Bravo, Center Bravo, Front Bravo, Rear Alpha, Center Alpha, Front Alpha. You can enter these turrets and fire back at the hunters, albeit with low accuracy, 30% base to hit, 1 AP to fire. Ship turrets have 4 shots each before they have to recharge, which is done automatically between cycles.
