The perfect environment for sneaking your vessel past security and sabotaging cloud-refineries, to finally bring down your corporate oppressors.
Action
Play with your prey as the guards and you slip in and out of stealth. Tail ships, intercept communications, set traps and ambush unsuspecting vessels with precision strikes. Or incapacitate and board them to gain knowledge, funds and captives, to be exchange for new Swirl W@tch members. Discover and exploit the numerous guard behaviors, all generously telegraphed by your ships predictive tactics AI. Complete different objectives across multiple zones, but always watch your noise circles and lidar profile. Unlike you, CorPo doesn’t take prisoners.
Devices
Gaining the public support of Cloud 2 by capturing vessels and freeing their crew’s servants from “mandatory internships” (indentured servitude). Grow the Swirl W@tch movement to unlock new weapons, gadgets, ships and passives. Spend your deployment budget on custom loadouts that can include any of the over 100 items you have available, or go in with less equipment and raid production facilities for cheaper, random gear.
