Defender Auto-Evacuation

Monitors incoming attacks and auto-evacuates or recalls fleets using configurable check intervals, impact windows, origin selection, and celestial settings.

Overview

Defender keeps your fleets safer by scanning for incoming attacks on a schedule. You control how early to evacuate and when to recall fleets.

How It Works

Enable defender scans and set the check interval. When a threat is detected inside the configured impact window, the bot launches an evacuation at the configured offset and can recall fleets after the impact passes.

Settings

• Check Interval: How often the bot scans for threats.
• Randomized Interval: Adds variation to scan timing.
• Evacuate Seconds Before Attack: How early to launch evacuation before impact.
• Ignore Attacks Outside Impact Window: Ignores attacks that are farther away than the configured number of hours.
• Recall Enabled: Allows recalling fleets after the attack window passes.
• Recall Seconds After Impact: Delay before recalling a fleet after impact time.
• Check Origin Mode: Chooses where threat checks run from: random all, random moons, homeworld, or latest active.
• Auto Spy Back Attacker: Sends probes to new attackers with a per-attacker cooldown.
• Send Random Message To Attacker: Sends one configured attacker message with a per-attacker cooldown.
• Celestial Configurations: Sets evacuation mode and mission behavior per planet or moon.

Best Practices

• Use a short scan interval on high-activity servers.
• Set evacuation timing with a small buffer to avoid late launches.
• Test recall timing to avoid recalling into active threats.
