wave defence
find out what they are the difference between the sorts and patterns
​
there are two types of wave defence the blue ones are group that can be done with you and four other players using two ships each, there are two sorts of group waves normal and mirror. Solo waves are the orange circles that you do with three of your own ships
​
All sorts can be found together here just above the territory zones

all waves defences have a central station that you have to protect from waves of hostiles. Normal or mirror wave defences have a total of 10 waves and the central entity has a health of 20 meaning if 20 hostiles get past your ships to attack it then the station dies and the wave defence ends, but if it still has any health left at the end of wave 10 you get the maximum rewards.
Wave defence events require you to survive 3 or 5 waves (depending player ops lvl) to complete the event so if you cant get past 10 waves you can still do the events.
​
Solo waves only have a central entity health of 3 and last 3 or 5 waves.
lvl 45 waves have 3 waves lvl 50 and 60 waves have 5, the mechanic is the same defend the central entity from the hostile the one major difference is in solo waves the hostiles spawn in the middle of the system and the edge in group waves they spawn from the outside edge

you cabn take part in normal wave defences when you reach ops lvl 30, mirror wave defence from ops lvl 40 and solo wave defence from ops lvl 45 however those are the minimum lvls and it will be really hard to do much in normal and mirror ones luckily there is a way for you to help.
each wave defence has the same pattern of hostiles that attack from the same place every time and these do include traders which are very low in power that a lvl 30 player can kill even with small fast ships.
Lower lvl players normally their fastest ships are the realta and the botany bay with speed crews on which is still enough to kill the traders.
for every wave the pattern stays the same the only difference is in mirror waves the swarm are replaced by species 8472 bioships, actian are replaced with texas class ships and borg probes are replaced by hirogen.

solo wave defence
​
solo waves give you the section 31 credits, section 31 mirror credits and s31 access key to spend in the section 31 access card

as well as a lot of great options like artefacts, forbidden tech, officer shards and favours the section 31 store now also offers ship blueprints for the new gs-31 ship that is used mostly in the new elite solo waves

elite solo waves
​
these are the same as solos but much harder with more ships per wave, faster ships and harder abilities to get past.
the new gs-31 ship will help with these
​
*only elite waves are orange the other solos are now blue as well
