BATTLE ROYALE SURVIVAL GUIDE
Space Battle Royale. Twenty minutes. One surviving fleet.
Starquest turns Battle Royale into a fight between four space fleets. Every house has a mothership and ten ship slots. Start as a guest in your browser, collect early supplies and prepare for the radiation ring to bring your rivals into cannon range.
Build your defenses early
Motherships begin with an exposed core and no outer substations. Recover glowing supply drops to build defenses for your team. When all four substations are built, further pickups can repair the mothership and surviving defenses. Split your fleet between supply collection, escort and interception.
Supply drops end after ring three, at eight minutes. Unclaimed packages disappear then too. Get those early repairs while you can: the late game is about protecting what remains.
Move with the radiation ring
Warnings announce each contraction before it happens. The safe zone shrinks in six stages, and surviving motherships move toward the middle with it. Avoid lingering outside the ring; cosmic radiation damages your ship.
By the final stage, neighboring motherships are roughly 500 meters apart. Their cannons and surviving substations can attack rival bases in range. A forward substation can become a serious threat, so choose which defenses to destroy before the fleets converge.
Use the final five minutes
The last ring finishes closing just before minute 15. The map then stays at that size until the 20-minute limit, giving the fleets extra time to finish the fight. There are no late supply packages to repeatedly rebuild destroyed defenses.
Keep a route back to your mothership, use a flank instead of charging a packed firing line, and upgrade cooling or armor if you cannot stay in the fight long enough to land shots. Destroying enemy substations also lengthens that team's respawn wait.
How a winner is decided
Eliminate the other houses to win before time runs out. If multiple teams remain at 20 minutes, the highest team score wins. Only a tie for the highest score produces a draw.
The winning house gets a 12-second battlefield celebration. Remaining losing fleets burn and shatter from last place to second while ships keep flying. Results and rewards are locked before the visual finale begins.
