Data Rescue Agreement

See also: Phases and servers

This play agreement was added to the list of available Phase II play agreements during the system patch on 2022-01-18.

In Data Rescue, the goal is to recover data. The system is experiencing large amounts of radiation from its star and the explorers' goal is to recover the data from the cities and ruins. The data (similar to trojite) goes to base in fleets containing a utility ship and the resource can be deposited in a city port or the Lagrange Gate. It takes 1000 units of data deposited at the Lagrange Gate to earn one rating point but only 700 at a city. However, the rating points for data deposited in a city go to the union that owns the city at the time the ratings are evaluated, so if another union captures the city that the player has been depositing data in, those points will be taken by the city's new owners.

The other major feature about this mode is that the star is sending out large amounts of radiation in cycles. Large portions of the map are radiation zones (damage to destroyer class and below ships). There are also red stellar jets that the star shoots out that will damage ships, bases, and even cities. Once the cities are destroyed, they become ruins from which explorers can recover resources including data, metal, and ships. These stellar jets occur in a pattern that can seen on the map and a warning is received. A forecast of the radiation zones can be accessed by zooming out on the map. There are safe spots highlighted in blue behind planets that are not affected by radiation at all. The Lagrange Gate is in one of the unprotected areas, surrounded by ruins, and cannot be captured in this mode.

## Data, collection, and transporting

**See also:** List of ships by storage per command point

The  collect command can be used to collect data, resources, and salvageable ship wrecks available from cities and ruins.

Click on the  collectable icon in the information box to see what can be collected from this particular location.

Once data has reached the player base, it must then be "transported" to a **data receiving station**.

* Collecting data, each unit of data requires 5,000 units of storage
* Transporting data from the player base to a drop off point, each unit of data requires 200 units of storage
* Data must be dropped off in whole rating point increments - 700 at a city, 1000 at the Lagrange Gate

## In Game Documentation

### EXPERIMENTAL DATA

Affected by the "Warping Reverberation," the phenomenon of "Space Warping Vibration" occurred in some of the star systems
run by the Antonios Consortium. The occasional radiation emissions from stars due to abnormal stellar activities led to the
deterioration of the environment, making these star systems difficult to survive. Most areas of these star systems have been
abandoned, and many important data were buried in the ruins.

The goal of this Agreement is to rescue experimental data from deserted star systems that were affected by the "Warping
Reverberation."

After entering the star system, researching the Tech Files Selected by Enterprises offers a chance to get new ship blueprints.

### WARPING REVERBERATION

    As a space anomaly of unknown cause, warping reverberation is often accompanied by unusually stellar activities and

the occurrence of high radiation jets that cover the entire star system.

In regions affected by stellar activities, anything in the space ranging from small ships to large space stations can
suffer non-negligible structural damage until they are turned to ruins.

### RUINS EXPLORATION

    As the galactic environment deteriorates and becomes difficult to survive, A torrent of abandoned space stations and

shipwrecks are floating in space.

You can go to collect useful supplies between two high radiation outbreaks, but please also pay attention to the
hostile Privateers nearby.

### DATA RESCUE

The star system is dotted with research centers, experiment centers and observation stations where you need to
collect valuable experimental data and transport them to a data receiving station near the stargate for submission, or
to a data receiving station near a city occupied by the Union for storage.

Using a special collection ship can help you search for supplies and collect data faster.

### STAR SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT RATING

Data transported directly to the stargate by you will be converted directly to Rating Points of your Union, while data
stored in the cities will be converted to Rating Points of the Union to which you belong at the time of star system
development rating, and then transported to the stargate.

The final star system development rating will be subject to the final Rating Points of the Union.

### CLAUSES OF THE AGREEMENT

#### TERMS OF THE STAR SYSTEM DATA RESCUE AGREEMENT IN THE DAWN ACCORD

This Agreement is issued by the Antonios Explorer Development Division to rescue important
experimental data in the star systems affected by Warping Reverberation.

In view of the unusual stellar activities in these star systems that have been marked as "danger
zones," an exploration agreement for data rescue has been prepared and will be assigned to
explorers with extensive exploration experience to execute and complete the Agreement.

The Agreement reads as follows:

##### Article 1. Star System Exploration

1. The right of access to the L039 Pioneers Gate and to the star systems marked as "danger zones" affected by the Warping Reverberation is provided to explorers that have signed the Agreement.
2. The explorers who have signed this Agreement will be granted the temporary authorization for the blueprint "D20 - Data Utility Ship."
3. The stars in the target star system will intermittently explode with high radiation due to the influence of Warping Reverberation, which will cause continuous damage to the stargate. The explorers shall complete the rescue of all data before the stargate is completely damaged.
4. After all the data are rescued, the star system development rating will be performed, then the transport fleet will transport the experimental data stored in the city back to the Hub Star System through the stargate, and the explorers can return to the Hub Star System through the stargate. They have also to ensure that the stargate of the star system will not be closed before the data is transferred and all explorers are evacuated.

##### Article 2. Data Rescue and Delivery

1. The explorers shall rescue as much experimental data as possible before the stargate is completely damaged.
2. The explorers should make every effort to ensure that experimental data will not be lost during transportation and storage in the Base.3. After joining a Union, the explorers need to deliver the rescued experimental data to the data receiving station near the designated city or near the stargate in time.
3. Experimental data not submitted to the data receiving station will be treated as abandoned when the development rating starts.

##### Article 3. Data Submission and Storage

1. Experimental data delivered by the explorers to the data receiving station near the stargate will be transported directly back to the Hub Star System through the stargate.
2. The experimental data submitted by the data receiving stations near the designated cities will be temporarily stored in the cities, and will be transported and transferred through the stargate when the star system development rating starts. The experimental data stored in the cities will be considered as being submitted by the faction that is occupying that city.

##### Article 4. Star System Development Rating

1. Experimental data transported by an explorer to the data receiving station near the stargate for submission will be registered as the Rating Points of the explorer's Union in an agreed manner upon the submission.
2. Experimental data transported by an explorer to the data receiving station near the designated city for submission will be stored in the city and will be registered as the Rating Points of the explorer's Union in an agreed manner upon the star system development rating.
3. After finishing the rescue of all important data, the final rating will be made based on the total Rating Points owned by the Union.
