To succeed in Server vs. Server (SvS) war in Foundation: Galactic Frontier, prioritize scouting unshielded bases during the scheduled reset window, striking targets at close range, and maintaining active Peace Shields whenever you are not attacking.
Pre-War Preparation and Resource Management
Entering an invasion without preparing your base and fleets risks heavy permanent ship losses and supplies easy war points to the opposing server.
- Empty Vulnerable Resources: Spend excess resources on alliance technology, begin long building or research timers, or move materials into protected storage. Leaving stockpiles exposed rewards enemies who hit your station.
- Configure Fleet Setups: Equip your Flagship and frontline ships with your highest-tier kinetic or energy weapon systems. Assign your top offensive champions to lead attack formations.
- Stock Teleport and Speed Items: Secure Advanced Teleports and march acceleration items before the invasion reset begins. Long-range marches give defenders ample warning to react.
- Repair Fleets in Advance: Ensure all combat ships are completely repaired before crossing into enemy territory.
Target Selection and Scouting Rules
Blindly attacking bases inside hostile server territory often results in hitting reinforced stations. Always send scout probes to inspect garrisoned fleet numbers, defensive heroes, and uncollected resources before launching an attack.
| Target Type | Visible Indicators | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| Unshielded Farm | Low combat power, low defense rating | Execute a solo strike for quick points and resources. |
| Isolated Main Base | Moderate combat power, separated from alliance hives | Scout first; attack solo only if the garrison is light or absent. |
| Alliance Cluster | Grouped stations, active Peace Shields | Avoid solo attacks; stage a coordinated alliance rally. |
| Bait Base | Low-to-moderate combat power placed inside a strong hive | Probe thoroughly; abort solo attacks if external defense fleets are present. |
If a scout report reveals millions of defending units supplied by foreign reinforcements, do not launch a solo march. Call for an alliance rally or relocate to find softer targets.
Offensive Strike Execution
Speed determines whether an attack yields combat points or collides with an emergency shield.
- Relocate Close to the Target: Teleport adjacent to your target rather than marching across star systems. Striking from immediate proximity minimizes the defender's response time.
- Coordinate Rally Capacities: When attacking heavily fortified bases, appoint a rally leader with high command capacity and strong Flagship buffs. Rally members must match the leader's fleet composition requirements.
- Recall Immediately After Battle: Never allow fleets to idle in target territory. Recall your ships to base immediately after combat resolves, or teleport to a safe sector to evade counter-rallies.
- Disengage From Active Bubbles: If an opponent activates a Peace Shield before impact, redirect your fleet immediately and scout adjacent quadrants.
Home Defense and Cross-Garrison Tactics
Defending your home server requires strict coordination. Enemy invaders earn the majority of their points from offline players who neglect their defenses.
- Maintain Shield Discipline: Keep your Peace Shield active at all times if you are offline, away from your device, or not actively participating in an offensive run.
- Set Cross-Garrison Traps: When an invader teleports near an unshielded alliance member, coordinate high-tier players to send defensive fleets into the targeted base. The invader's offensive fleet will hit the combined defensive garrisons, suffering high casualties.
- Tag Invader Coordinates: Broadcast enemy teleport coordinates and home server tags in alliance and server chat so allied rally leaders can eliminate isolated invaders.
Managing Fleet Attrition and Repair Bay Limits
Every ship destroyed beyond your repair bay capacity is lost permanently. Preserving your fleet strength throughout the event requires strict tracking of repair thresholds.
- Monitor Repair Bay Capacity: Check your repair buildings after every major skirmish. If your bays approach maximum capacity, cease attacking immediately.
- Disengage to Process Repairs: When repair bays are nearly full, activate a Peace Shield, retreat from the combat zone, and clear damaged ships using alliance speed assists and speedup consumables.
- Avoid Even-Trade Engagements: Solo attacks that result in an even exchange of high-tier ships drain your fleet reserves without providing a decisive score advantage. Reserve high-risk trades for crucial alliance rallies.

Nice guide. I am checking the other Foundation: Galactic Frontier articles next.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
The explanation is clear, especially for beginners.
This saved me time in the early game.
