Halcyon 6: Starbase Commander/Starbase operations

Overview
The Starbase consists of 40 rooms, most of which must be cleared before they can be used. Most of these rooms require a high-level officer to clear them, with the level increasing as the distance from the center increases. Each room provides passive benefits and/or tasks. To initiate a task, click a room with the green text "TASK AVAILABLE" on it. Select an activity, then assign an officer. Finally, click the "CONFIRM TASK" button. The required resources for a particular task are indicated in the activity list. The required time is reduced by the selected officer's skill levels in Engineering, Tactics, and/or Science. If the bars above the estimated time are fairly full, the time will be less than if the bars are mostly empty. Building rooms costs materials and power. See the Production Rooms section for the power producing rooms.

Fleet Command
This room is already built when you start the game. You can get here quickly with the Fleet Management button or by pressing F3. On the left is a list of all ships in your fleet. Select a ship to view its stats, powers, traits, victories, and elite crew. You can repair the ship, rename the ship, remove the officer (if it has one), or scrap the ship.

Ship Construction
This room is already built when you start the game. You can get here quickly with the Ship Construction button or by pressing F4. The bottom section lists the ships that you have the research to build. The tabs above it can be used to filter to the desired ship type; however, the Federation Shuttle only appears when "ALL" is selected. The upper section shows the base stats, powers, and traits. The build costs and build time are sandwiched in between. The right side shows all ships currently in production. When you select "CONSTRUCT SHIP," you will be asked to confirm. If applicable, the confirmation message will include a warning that you have no "AVAILABLE" officers to command it. You can safely ignore this if you are building a new ship for one of your existing officers. Since you can only build on ship at a time, the new ship will be built after all others currently in the queue are complete.

Terran Starship Hangar
These come in five tiers. Each allows you to build the ships of the corresponding tier, and to upgrade them. The upgrades apply to all ships of the specified type, whether you have built them yet or not. They will appear at the bottom of the Tech Tree.
