TCSN Academy Simulator Handbook

The simulator has implemented Candar Station so you will learn how to defend friendly space stations. Protected by flak guns as well as strong armor, it is a hard nut to crack. However, a Kilrathi force with formidable weapon loadouts could destroy Candar if they manage to dodge you and its flak volleys since the space station is not protected by phase shields.

Behind the Scenes

  • Candar reuses the artwork for the Star Base space station from Wing Commander II although Candar is much smaller and lacks phase shields.
  • Candar is named after the village of Çandar (now Cendere) in Turkey.

Errors

  • The Attacking a Capital Ship section of the TCSN Academy Simulator Handbook incorrectly claims that "Candar Space Space Station [is] protected by phase defenses."
