Starlost has a lengthy single player campaign, spanning over 17 sectors. Players travel between sectors via the mothership, and unlock new sectors by finding warp keys through story-driven events.
Sector 1: Quantum Rift
This sector contains the tail end of a dangerous quantum anomaly. The first sector of Starlost introduces the core gameplay mechanics to new players.
Sector 2: Emerald Nebula
A dense green nebula, this sector contains plenty of resources to assist in ship repairs.
RU Farm Location
Sector 3: Outskirts of Emerald Nebula
This sector is host to a large planetoid, surrounded by scrap we can collect and analyse.
Sector 4: Emerald Asteroid Cluster
A large cluster of asteroids are masking a considerable portion of scrap materials that we can collect.
Sector 5: The Reaper of Kalichi
Sometimes the only way forward is through. Defeat the enemy to continue.
Sector 6: Hammerhead Reef
A slash of gravitational inconsistencies, lightyears in size but only a few thousand meters deep, the Hammerhead Reef forces all vessels to drop out of warp and move through at sublight speeds - until they are clear of the reef and can recommence FTL travel.
RU Farm Location
Sector 7: Holding Orbit
Fields of asteroids ripe for the picking, this sector should provide a much needed boost to our resources.
Sector 8: The Unknown
Masked coordinates are preventing a scan of the region. Advise caution.
Sector 9: Hunter Stronghold
The coordinates loaded from the Hunter Jumpship we destroyed point to an unknown area of deepspace. Assessment: Hunter base of operations.
RU Farm Location
Sector 10: Moon AE451-7
An abandoned outpost orbits this small moon. Wreckage is peppered throughout the sector.
Sector 11: Industrial Shipyard North
The northern sector of an active naval shipyard, a pulsing heart of industry.
Sector 12: Industrial Shipyard East
The eastern sector of an active naval shipyard, a pulsing heart of industry.
Sector 13: Battle of Brighton's Belt
Remnants of an ancient battle are scattered across this sector, along with multiple resource-rich asteroids.
RU Farm Location
Sector 14: The Kuiper Belt
The Kuiper Belt is nestled deep within the galaxy, and consists of a dangerous moving asteroid belt.
Sector 15: Heart of the Rift
Deep in the heart of enemy space, an array of rocket pods are in orbit of a barren, desolate world.
Sector 16: Crystal Clusters of Delta Pisces
The crystal fields of Delta Pisces refer to floating asteroids with glowing red crystals embedded inside them.
Nanocore Farm Location
Sector 17: Homeworld
An average sized planet sits alone in space, emitting some form of distress call... Note: As of February 15, 2019, there is no more campaign content following the post-level cutscene.
Hints
Sector 1: Spam Mining Laser. When enemies spawn, you can flee to the mothership or ram into them.
Sector 2: Keep the same layout as in Sector 1, except with a few weapons (preferably railguns) to be safe.
Sectors 3 & 4: Just do the same thing, but do not provoke the enemy. Try to get enough credits to spam Ion Cannon and/or railgun. Get the Proximity mine subsystem.
Sector 5: Before Yama spawns, spam mines all over the place, and spam Ion cannons and Railguns. Mine all the resources afterwards.
Sector 6: Don't go to the anomaly until you have a lot of heavy weaponry. Maybe get 3 Harvesters and 3 Phantoms, so you can mine the map while you sit on the mothership. Then when you get to the anomaly, go to the gate, and you can blow it up with your heavy weaponry.
Sector 7: Get 3 Harvesters and 3 Phantoms to mine the map, but try not to carry resources as if you get killed by an asteroid, you will either have to waste a precious Nanocore, or lose all the resources that you are carrying. There are a lot of resources in this sector, so use it to upgrade your weapons thoroughly.
Sector 8: Use Quantum Artillery!
Sector 9: This is a fairly hard sector compared to the others near it, so you want to get good weaponry before going here. Forward beam is good for destroying buildings and large groups of ships. Alternatively, using powerful turrets like fusion sabots or bleeders would work for the buildings, and an abyss generator for the enemies. If anyone could add more hints for each sector, that would be great!
