What do Aircraft do in State of Survival?

They accompany your troops on the march and deal damage to the enemy from above, as an added damage source rather than units you control directly.

How do I unlock the Aircraft Carrier?

Max your Gen 1 Airplane to level 140. The Carrier is then usable in rallies and when garrisoning your settlement.

How many Aircraft does a Carrier hold?

It starts with 4 active Aircraft and can reach 7, filled automatically by power. Only your strongest ever fly, so concentrated investment beats spreading it.

Does the Carrier help my alliance?

Yes, and that is the point. If the rally initiator deploys their Carrier, every allied Aircraft in that rally deals extra damage.

How do I get war vehicle parts?

With biocaps, or through the dedicated bundles: the Vehicle Rapid Growth Bundle, the Vehicle Value Card, and Vehicle Part Booster Packs.

What is the Hovercraft?

A separate machine introduced with the Tides of Fortune world event, deployable in Tidal Escape and Abyssal Skirmish, and upgraded with Cabin Supply Crates and Cabin Blueprints.

Is the vehicle system worth it for free-to-play?

As background progress only. Take the free materials, concentrate on a few Aircraft, and put biocaps into march slots and hero completion instead.

Should I get a Carrier if I don't lead rallies?

No. Its defining benefit is the buff it gives joiners in a rally you initiate. Contribute Aircraft to your alliance's leaders instead.
