SWARM — 01. First Light
David-narrated instructional simulation replay

[00:00 · simulation 00:00] Your first mission
I'm David. Let's take this swarm on its first mission. Clear the practice array ahead, and bring the drones through safely. We'll learn three things: how to move, how to pause, and how to find the carriers.

[00:12 · simulation 00:00] Move the swarm
Press Advance to send the swarm forward.

[00:16 · simulation 00:00] Watch them move
The small drones lead. The carriers follow.

[00:24 · simulation 00:08] Take a closer look
Let's pause here.

[00:26 · simulation 00:10] Take your time
The clock stops too. You can look around without losing mission time. Choose Next tip when you're ready.

[00:33 · simulation 00:10] Find the carriers
Select Modular carriers in the drone list.

[00:37 · simulation 00:10] Two carriers, many small drones
There they are: two large carriers among all those small drones. Each has docking bays along its body. The small craft work around them. Think of the carriers as moving homes for the swarm.

[00:50 · simulation 00:10] Let them fly
Press Resume to keep moving.

[00:53 · simulation 00:10] Watch the practice array
The scouts have found the practice array, and the battle drones are engaging it. Watch its strength fall. You don't need to steer each drone.

[01:09 · simulation 00:26] Can you bring them all through?
Keep an eye on the craft count as well. Clearing the array matters, but so does bringing the swarm home. Let's see how this run ends.

[01:33 · simulation 00:50] Your turn
Cleared, with all one hundred and thirty-four craft still active. Your turn: press Advance, pause to find the two carriers, then resume and finish the mission. Next, we'll learn what the scouts and guards do.

The complete run is shown at normal game speed. Short prompts precede their visible clicks; inspection happens while the game is paused. The positions and results come from the game engine.
