Expeditions
Expeditions are a push-your-luck exploration system where fleets progress through increasing depths, encounter events, and choose whether to extract or continue.
Unlike passive missions, expeditions involve decision-making at each depth and risk escalation.
Source system design: Expedition System Design Document
Core Flow
Select an Expedition Node on the Galaxy Map
Launch Fleet (minimum 1 Probe required)

Maximum Depth by Realm

|---|---|
| Realm 1 | Depth 3 |
| Realm 2 | Depth 4 |
| Realm 3 | Depth 5 |
| Realm 4+ | Depth 7–10 (Legendary) |
Base Loot Formula
<math>
baseLoot = nodeType.baseReward
depthMultiplier = [1.0, 1.5, 2.5] // D1, D2, D3
eventBonus = 1.0 – 2.0
explorerBonus = 1.15 if Explorer
finalLoot = baseLoot × depthMultiplier × eventBonus × explorerBonus
</math>
Loot is also affected by:
Node State (Charged or Dormant)
Rally multipliers (Realm 2+)
Fleet cargo capacity
