This is the SFC2 wiki. It covers what every building, ship, defense and technology does, how battles are worked out, and the tactics players use to keep their fleets alive. Use the search box at the top of the page to find something, or open All pages for the full list.

If you just started, read the Quick Start Guide first and then the 8 Rules to Live By. Both are short and both will save you a fleet.

Spotted something wrong, or want to add a tip? Every page has a comment box at the bottom. You need a forum account to post one.

The game runs in real time and never stops, so the players who do well are the ones who leave something building and something flying every time they log off. Here is the short version of the first week.

1. Build up your mines. Ore, crystal and hydrogen pay for everything else. Keep the Ore Mine, Crystal Mine and Hydrogen Synthesizer climbing, and add a level of Solar Array whenever you run out of energy.
2. Run missions. The Missions page pays resources for a short round trip and ordinary missions never cost you ships. It is the fastest way to top up while your mines are still small.
3. Get the Research Lab up. Research unlocks better ships, faster engines and more missions. Only one research runs at a time, so pick carefully.
4. Colonize. Build a Gaia Class Colony Ship, find an empty slot on the Galaxy screen and send it. You can hold up to 10 planets, and more planets means more mines.
5. Send your fleet away before you log off. Ships parked at home are exactly what other players are shopping for. The Fleets page has a Fleet Save button for this.

The Galaxy screen is where you find everyone else. Each solar system has 15 slots, and the icons on the right are the actions you can take against that planet: spy it, attack it, defend it, harvest its debris or message the owner.
