INSTANT ACTION SCENARIO - THE INSURGENT INCURSION
This Instant Action scenario is a heavily revised version of the active duty combat scenario which appears at the end of the tutorial (yet another version appears in the demo update). It has been tweaked for the full game and also extended from thirty to sixty minutes worth of combat engagement. A bunch of new assets and strike packets were also added.
The Insurgents, in a brazen move, decided to launch an attack on GALCOM HQ station in orbit around Earth. Your Wildstar fleet had just returned to the Genesis station (in orbit around Venus) from tactical ops in Alpha Centauri when the call came in.
Your fleet and two others launched from the GAZER-1 (Pluto) and STARPATH (Mars) stations, have been tasked to the region to provide tactical support alongside GALCOM HQ forces already engaged in the region.
At the end of the scenario - if you survive - your fleet will be given a four hour patrol tasking order which takes it from Sol through the Sirius and Barnard's Star systems. Both of which are hostile territory.
During this free-form patrol period, you can - if you so choose - explore the game universe without following orders from your fleet commander.
NPC auto-generation is also activated at some point. Which means that while the fleet is on patrol, if you go off on your own, there is a very good chance that you will be killed.
As usual, you can dock with any carrier in your fleet or any friendly starstation to repair and rearm your fighter. A list of friendly stations appears on p50 of the game manual.
For those of you girly-men out there, you might want to add /use_godmode to the game's shortcut the first time you run the scenario. At least then you can stare at all the pretty lights during the massive battle for GALCOMQ HQ without being killed.
You can simply set Mother to escort GALCOM HQ, activate the Combat Assist mode of the auto-pilot, then just cycle through targets while viewing them using the F10 camera view (while using its viewing controls) as the battle rages on.
Before switching to the F10 camera mode, you need to first select a target in the TRS, then press F10. This then allows you to cycle targets using the . and , commands while in that camera mode. You can then use the camera's viewing controls (refer to the game's commands) thereafter.
