Battle Orchestrator

The Battle Orchestrator (Also known as the Holographic Interface and Command Display or H-ICD) is the method by which the player will command the vessels in their flotilla.

It will allow the player to easily switch between the 3D space battle view and a stylized planning mode where they can plan out movement curves for their ships and visualize these. The player may assign specific stances to ships (defensive, aggressive, etc.) as well as set rules of engagement for the usage of fighters, heavy weapons and similar. In addition the player will be able to “preview” the future position of their ships to allow for complex tactics to be pre-planned in all four dimensions.

It is intended that the Battle orchestrator will be able to be used with cooperative play as well to allow multiple players to coordinate their tactics and actions, though no details of how this will be implemented have been released yet. The functionality of the Battle orchestrator is independent of the type of vessel you have as a Flagship. A Frigate will be equally as capable of running it as a Battleship.

The Battle Orchestrator is intended to support Boarding actions as well, with the interface being identical to the one used to control fleet actions.
