What are HQs?
Like stations, HQs are placed by each of the player empires. Each empire currently owns 5 HQs, each conforming to the same design. An HQ is a real sign of the power and glory of the empires, boasting extremely high quality weapons with massive ranges and armour capable of sustaining massive damage with a highly advanced damage control system. Couple this with their high quality scanners, allowing them to spot you a long distance away, and advanced stealth technology, stopping you from spotting them until you get quite close and you have a formidable opponent. HQs should provide a bit of a challenge for even the most experienced players, if nothing else their heavy armour means they will take some time to destroy.
