Legacy Grind Targets

Xeno Division Targets

These targets are of the Xeno Division faction.

Resource Supply Run

Resource Supply Run Fleets are special fleets that carry large amounts of a particular resource with small amounts of the other two from place to place during supply runs, which run for 1 hour every 3 hours.

There are 3 types of resource supply runs - one for each resource. The ratio of resources dropped depends on the type of resource supply run that is occurring. For example, a Helium-3 Supply Run would drop more Helium-3 but less Mineral Ore and Antimatter, and so on so forth.

When defeated, resources are dropped in a 70/15/15 ratio, the former being the main resource drop.

There was a bug that caused the names below the icons of the Resource Supply Run fleets to be displayed incorrectly when they spawned in the Residential Sector.

Supply Run	Incorrect Fleet Name	Correct Fleet Name
Helium-3	Faction He3	Faction He-3
Mineral Ore	Faction Miner	Faction Ore
Antimatter	Faction Containment	Faction AM

Name & Level	Fleet Layout	Description	Ships	Armaments [Hover]	Loot Drops	Notes
Xeno Resource (70)		STRIKER Pattern Target: A formation of rapid Unknown craft ready to attack. Recommended: Cruisers & Battleships.	x6	x6 []		Strongly resembles Reaper (40-65).
			x4	x4

Crafting Supply Run

These targets drop crafting materials for non-dreadnought ships at much higher rates than crafting fleets during the Supply Run sector activity, which runs for 1 hour every 3 hours. Supply Run fleets have a different icon to distinguish them from crafting fleets.

When defeated, a crafting box is dropped. This box contains a predefined amount of armaments and parts for a specified hull. The remaining drop is either a core or a pattern. Do note that unlike those of regular crafting fleets, this drop is heavily weighted towards less valuable items. Carrier boxes of Tier 4 or below instead drop one of the aforementioned items at random.

Name & Level	Fleet Layout	Description	Ships	Armaments [Hover]	Loot Drops	Notes
Strike Barrage Hive (70)			x2	x4 x2 x1		Served as a placeholder for unreleased crafting supply run fleets.

Trivia

• When resource supply runs first came out, they only had normal resource drops, defeating their purpose. KIXEYE removed them to fix the issue and later turned them back on when done.
• During the introduction of Tier 6 crafting supply runs, the destroyer and specialist supply run fleets were initially unattackable. KIXEYE then replaced them with Barrage Hive fleets for the time being.
• Xeno Division and A.X.I.S. supply runs have been discontinued shortly after the late August 2019 update.
• The Umbra Infectors first appeared a day before Ashes, in a mini-Decimation event that consists of 2 phases: Incubation and Outbreak. During Incubation, the spawn rate is rather low, while Outbreak sees a dramatically increased spawn rate. They drop boxes as described in the "Umbra Infector Strongboxes" section under the appendix.
• The Umbra Infector's fleet description represents a code, which changes every few days. See the "Umbra Infector Codes" section under the appendix for more details.

Appendix

Umbra Infector Strongboxes

During the first iteration, time tokens may also be dropped from each of the three boxes, as follows:

Bronze Prize Box	Silver Prize Box	Gold Prize Box
1 HR Ship Repair 8 HR AXIS Ship Build 8 HR AXIS Ship Refit	1 HR Ship Repair 1 HR Altairian Ship Build 4 HR Altairian Ship Refit	1 HR Ship Repair 4 HR Altairian Ship Build 8 HR Altairian Ship Refit

The drop rate of blank hulls increases with each iteration, up to a maximum of 100x during the final iteration. The base drop rate is extremely low, however, so even such an improvement might not be noticeable.
