New player questions and common mistakes

Straight answers to the questions that cause expensive misunderstandings.

SOURCE-VERIFIED MECHANICS / REASONED GUIDANCE

Does a faction banner only contain that faction?

No. The base banners share the Scout pool and apply a favored selection branch. The pack page lists every eligible card, with a favored-faction indicator. SP/HSP cards are not ordinary Scout pool rewards.

Can I put any pilot in any frame?

Base-game slot validation does not impose a faction match. You need an actual pilot card, and a co-pilot can only be fitted to frames with two pilot slots. A signature bonus requires a defined canonical pairing, not merely matching faction labels.

Why do my stats differ from the wiki?

Wiki card stats are fresh template values. Levels, Workshop ranks, equipment modifiers, crew, signature pairs, class sets and temporary battle effects change what you see in combat. Enemy values also scale with their encounter.

Are purchased packs required?

The game has earned rewards, production and recovery routes alongside optional purchases. Cash-only premium cards have their own offers; an optional shop card should not be described as a Scout reward. Prices on the wiki are source catalog USD labels, and Steam checkout controls current regional prices.

Does collection tracking change my game?

No. Collection, achievement and journey tracking stays in this browser’s local storage. It neither reads your save nor grants an item. Clearing browser data can remove the checklist; the collection tool provides export and import.

Where are future expansions?

The production Steam DLC catalog in this audited snapshot is empty. Unreleased expansion details are excluded. The expansion hub is ready to list approved releases when their public data is available.
