Parent Pro-Tip
Set clear expectations about campaign progression—the 30-hour story can be completed in 2-3 hour sessions that align with mission structures. Encourage your child to explore different ship builds and scenarios to maximize the creative and strategic learning opportunities. The cooperative 'Duo' ship mode offers an excellent opportunity for parent-child gaming, where you can play together as pilot and copilot. Use scenario modes (Gladiator, Wave Survival) for shorter play sessions when time is limited.
