WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Operations menu > Under Siege; travel to the named settlement and follow the briefing markers.
Under Siege asks you to break a blockade at a settlement and help end the threat. The available route includes an initial ship engagement, a settlement stage and a final objective involving a rogue capital ship's heat relays. The Operation can technically be attempted ship-only, but the on-foot settlement stage is a practical option and the hostile settlement turrets can make a close approach unsafe. Rewards depend on Operation conditions; use the result panel to confirm what the run paid.
Odyssey access and Under Siege visible in the Operations menu.
A combat-capable ship; an SRV can help with the settlement approach.
On-foot combat gear if you plan to clear the settlement directly.
Choose a difficulty your ship and equipment can handle.
Select Under Siege and read the briefing for the settlement and current objective sequence.
Outfit for ship combat and decide whether you will use the on-foot route or the ship-supported option described by the live objective.
Travel to the settlement and engage the attacking ships as the operation directs.
When prompted, deal with the forces occupying the settlement; if turrets make landing dangerous, remain at a safe distance or use an SRV to approach.
Confirm the settlement-clear objective before moving on.
Locate the rogue capital ship objective and target its heat relays as directed by the operation.
Finish the scenario and inspect the result screen for the actual rewards.
Farming tips
Do not assume a ship can safely land beside the settlement; hostile anti-ship turrets may require a distant landing.
A wing and engineered equipment improve readiness for demanding Operations, but do not replace checking the active objective.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat from the Operations menu when available. Each run is a separate scenario, and payout can change with difficulty or repeat conditions; use the displayed result each time.
Common mistakes
Landing beside active settlement turrets; approach from a safe distance or use the SRV route.
Skipping the settlement objective after the ship wave; check the mission panel for the next phase.
Assuming the heat-relay stage is complete after engaging the capital ship; verify the relay objective itself.
When to stop or switch
Stop after the completion panel records the rewards, or switch to a lower difficulty or another activity if the current combat setup cannot handle the encounter.
