The Fleets of Sol

The Fleets of Sol is an strategy-survival meets fleet management game where you command a group of capital ships as you jump from sector-to-sector engaging a persistent enemy, rescuing civilians, and trying to grow your fleet to improve your survival odds.

High level raids include an COD Interdictor at the back of the base [*]Refinery scenarios updated with new refinery model [*]Reduced the range of most missiles and cannons, for both UCS and COD forces [*]New "Overhead Camera" hotkey, defaulted to "B" on the keyboard.
