RAPTURE

To win the game you ‘rapture’ people from Earth to live as part of your colony. The player with the most people in their Habitats before Earth’s population is depleted wins the match.

To rapture, you’ll need to build a Passenger ship from a shipyard. Move the passenger ship to within 15 units of Earth (the inner ring around Earth) and you’ll be able to rapture people by selecting the Earth, hitting RAPTURE, and selecting your ship. Choose how many people you’d like to rapture (you can rapture more at a time depending on the level of your ship) and hit confirm.

Once you’ve got your passengers you can fly back to a Habitat (built from your Harvester) and transport your people onto them. ‘Habs’ can also be upgraded to house more people up to a total of 8 per Hab.

STEALING

You can steal people from other players’ Habitats by parking your Passenger ship nearby (within 5 units), hitting STEAL from the submenu, selecting that Habitat, then choosing how many people you want to steal. Perhaps Pirating is a better tactic that rapturing.
