Contents
The Communications Panel is located on the bridge and accessible by everyone. Anyone may help establish the link to Sol, but everything else is reserved to Communications Officer.
The hacker kit does not override these settings.
The antenna in the Engine Room influences communications:
- If it is down, actions cost 1 AP more.
- If it is enhanced by the spatial wave radar, the chances of making a connection with Sol are doubled.
|
All communication begins with establishing a connection.
warning |
This simple action can be performed by any member of the crewn and should be attempted by everyone at the start of the ship (but only once everyone has joined). The link provides morale points to the team and unlocks new abilities for Comms Officer.
If the contact fails,it will improve signal quality and increase the chances of contact at the next attempt. }}
Link
The first time this succeeds, NERON will announce: (tbd - grab text of announcement) Ration 1 The signal starts at 0% at the beginning of the game.
2 
AP or 1 
IT Point increases the signal strength by 4%, 6% in the presence of a 
Radio Expert or 8% if you are a Radio Expert. The stronger the signal strength, the more likely you will get a successful connection with Sol. As long as the contact is established, this button is replaced by "connection established"
The signal may drop:
- If you use the microwave
- By random chance. When the signal strength is low, this is more likely to happen.
- If the Daedalus hits debris or hunters while moving (rumored, no confirmation)
- If the communications panel is broken for any reason.
Version
The Version number starts at NERON v1.00 and increases from there.
1 is the version number and indicates which project number you are currently working on.
00 is the percentage of completion toward the current project number.
After completing the first nine projects, the version number goes from v9.xx to v1.0xx to v1.1xx and so on.
2 AP or 1 IT Point increases the completion percentage by a random amount, though the amount decreases with higher version numbers.
Once the project reaches 100% completion, it completes a randomly selected project among those that have never appeared as options in Heart of NERON.
If all projects have appeared in Heart of NERON, the version upgrade will not complete any project.
Xyloph DB
|
confirm names and descriptions |
Each database entry will (generally) provide some benefit to the ship and is often worth completing as soon as possible as some of the entries will help decode rebel base signals faster.
2 AP or 1 IT Point decodes one Xyloph DB entry.
| Name Nickname |

| Name Ghost Chun |
Provides a "ghost" of Chun in the laboratory so research requiring her presence can be carried on without her being in the room. | ||
| Workshop Manuals Blueprints |
Tabulatrix will print 3 new blueprints at the bridge. Exact blueprints vary. | ||
| Contact established with Kivanç Terzi! Kivanc |
Gives a 100% bonus on decoding rebel base transmissions. Paola earns 8  glory.
| ||
| Name Ghost Sample |
Provides a "ghost" of the mush sample in the laboratory so research requiring its presence can be carried on without it. | ||
| Finola's Lost Research List |
Prints a list of current infection levels of the crew. Note that this will often provide "insufficient" results. | ||
| Roger's Kitchenary 2830 Cook |
Prints a Chef Mage Book at the bridge. | ||
| Blizzard Documentary... Snow |
Causes the communications link to be lost. NERON announces this as an unknown cause. | ||
| School Workbooks Mage Books |
Prints two random mage books at the bridge. | ||
| Genome Data Disk |
Provides a disk with Mush Genome analysis at the bridge. Move this to the laboratory to open additional research options. |
The DB entries appear in the comms panel in the following locations:
| Nothing | Snow | Magnetite | Disk |
| List | Ghost Sample | Version | Kivanc |
| Cook | Ghost Chun | Mage Books | Blueprints |
Rebel Bases
Decoding rebel bases generally give large bonuses to the ship.
Once per day, a rebel base will attempt to contact the Daedalus. This will happen randomly between cycles 2 and 7 (inclusive) and will remain the same for the course of the ship. As long as contact with Sol has been established, NERON will announce when the rebel bases attempt to make contact.
2 AP or 1 IT Point makes progress toward decoding the rebel base signal. Once the signal is 100% decoded, it will provide the bonus to the ship. The amount of AP required will vary based on whether Kivanc has been contacted through the Xyloph DB and/or the Rebel skill.
If the base is not fully decoded within a certain period of time, or if the Daedalus moves before the signal is decoded, the base will be lost forever and you will not receive that bonus.
