What is the difference between Skirmish and Adventure mode?
One way to look at it is like the difference between a PvP combat arena, like Battlegrounds in WoW, and the adventuring part of an RPG, where youre traveling around and fighting and trading resources. Skirmish mode has a matchmaking lobby where players choose a map, gather a crew, and join a match (which we call a skirmish). Adventure mode includes both the combat matches and the adventure stuff, flying around on trade routes and visiting towns.
Adventure Mode is built on the idea of a trade economy where players can be not only warriors but merchants, using their ships to carry goods from town to town. Towns will produce natural resources and manufactured goods, making them valuable assets to the factions that control them, but theyll need to be protected and well provisioned or they will collapse.
Whereas in the original game, Gabriel had a hold full of mysterious, unidentified cargo, in Adventure, youll actually be dealing in specific resourcesfood, water, raw materials, weaponsthat towns need to survive and thrive. Not only will this drive trade, it will also drive conflict, as factions compete for access to the best resources and airship captains have a choice of career, from independent trader to mercenary escort to pirate raider.
