Welcome to Echoes of Ambition
Embark on a journey through the vastness of space in "Echoes of Ambition," the latest expansion for BEYOND: THE STARS. In this gripping addition, players delve into the strategic depths of territory control, where Major Powers clash over dominion of the Galactic Sector using the M.A.D. System—celebrated for its emphasis on mystery, adventure, and the daunting vastness of the universe.
Major Powers and Their Domains
In "Echoes of Ambition," the galaxy is your chessboard. Align with one of the formidable factions vying for supremacy:
Each Power's Space Hub is uniquely designed, functioning as a nerve center for operations. Hubs feature distinct atmospheres, trade items, missions, and strategic modules like Ports, Modules, and Command Centers. Wayfarer Creation at each hub allows players to tailor their characters to the ethos and style of their chosen Power.
Gameplay Dynamics
The monthly "Power Shift" brings dynamic changes, as Powers gain and lose control of Space Hubs. Engage in strategic Skirmishes outside hubs, overcome Power-Specific Guards, and navigate through hub modules to reach the Command Post. Successful conquests bolster your Renown, increasing your influence within the Galactic Sector.
However, beware the consequences of ambition. A Power’s collapse removes its influence from the game, along with its missions and trade items. Additionally, assaulting a Hub incurs a Bounty. Holding a Bounty restricts access to a Power’s hub unless settled—a costly but sometimes necessary venture.
Expansion Highlights
Prepare to chart your course through conflict, alliance, and ambition. Whether you rise as a beacon of power or become a cautionary tale of hubris, your journey in "Echoes of Ambition" promises to be unforgettable. Join us, as we redefine the stars!
