IS THE GAME WORLD PERSISTENT?
Yes. It is an open world dynamic combat environment. Whether or not you are playing or there are people on the server, the world is still being processed. For example if you exit a battle that was waging and during that battle a Terran space station is captured by the Gammulans, there is a good chance that by the time you log back on, the station would have been liberated or still be Gammulan occupied. There is no instancing whatsoever. If your fleet builds a base on a planet somewhere and it is not properly defended (by NPC controlled defense assets or players) it can be destroyed at any time – whether or not you are on the server. However if you planned ahead and deployed defense assets, it makes it a lot harder for any hostile force to overwhelm and destroy it. Such is the nature of war. Even the default stations, bases and cities can be destroyed, rebuilt (all such assets can auto-rebuild over time), captured, liberated etc.
