Introduction
This allows you to link your advanced satellites into a network to report enemy activity in sectors.
Any satellites in your network can be programmed to warn you of enemy attacks, you can set what ships to detect for and what kind of warning it sends
Starting Up
You can access the Satellite Early Warning Network's Configuration menu over the Advanced game settings under Options -> Gameplay or by assigning a key to the "Satellite Early Warning Network"-hotkey under Controls -> Interface -> Extensions.
Network Configuration
As above, you open up the configuration dialog to setup your network. There are various settings available, the top is the global settings for you network with the below section listing the satellites in your network.
First section is the Network Configuration, this is your networks global settings and will be applied to all new satellites
Next section is the list of all satellites in your network (only appears if you have any added). The top option allows you to remove all the satellites. Selecting one of the satellites from this lists open up that satellites configuration.
The Bottom section is a list of all other Advanced Satellites you have. Simply select one to have it added, or choose the top option to add them all.
Global Configuration
The global network settings are applied to all new satellites as well as any that are set to "Global Settings" in thier individual config. To change the settings, just select it.
Detect Ships
This option is used to choose what type of ships the satellite should detect.
Message Type
This is the type of message that should be sent to the player.
Warning Time
This is the time in minutes that each warning message should be sent.
Detect Claimable Ships
This option allows the satellite to detect any ships in range that you can claim.
Wing Protection
This options allows the satellite to call in the help from one of the 4 SEWN wings.
Satellite Configuration
To configure each satelitte, simply select it from your network configuration dialog.
The top info section display details about your satellite including the number of enemy ships its currently detecting (based on your settings)
The next section "Detect Ships" allows you to set the ship type to detect, the global settings will change when ever you change it in your networks configuration.
The "Message Type" section is for how you want messages to be sent to you.
The "General Settings" section as the rest of the config options, this includes the time to send each warning message.
Finally, the commands at the bottom to remove the satellite from the network and to close the menu (pressing Esc also closes). This includes the option "Call For Aid" allowing you to select any one of your wings to jump in and help out. This is seperate to the wing protection which is done automatically.
Warning Messages
There are 3 settings for the warning messages.
The Voice will send a destress call to you from your ships computer with the sector.
The Message will display a message across the bottom of the screen showing the sector and satellite.
The other one is for both the voice message and a saved entry in your log book.
If you have the voice message enabled, you will get the voice "Assistant Required At {SECTOR}" if they have detected claimable ships.
SEWN Wings
There are now 4 new custom wings available for SEWN. These wings will be used for protection in the sectors of enabled satellites.
If the satellites wing protection is on, they will call in one of the wings that is available to help protect the sector.
