A players guide to Phalanx is needed. Please post your guide below. The best one will be copied at the top of this post and will be linked here from all universes.

The rest will still remain here in the sequence they appear.

Thank you

Sensor Phalanx is a special building. It can only be built on a moon (and of course takes up a building slot with each level), and is used to find moving fleets within range.

To use this building, you of course need a moon and building slots on that moon (Gotta build lunar base to open up slots on a moon). Once you have the phalanx built, using it is really quite simple. Make sure that you have the correct moon as your current location (You can change your current planet/moon to a different one using the drop down box in the top left corner of the game screen), then click the Galaxy tab, and put your mouse cursor over any planet icon that is within your phalanx's range. Then you just click Phalanx (make sure you have a decent amount of deuterium on the moon, each scan costs 5.000 deuterium!) and it will show you any fleets moving to and from that planet (note: launching fleets from a moon makes them invisible to sensor phalanx scans, only way to make those fleets visible is to destroy the moon they were launched from BEFORE the fleets reach their target!)

Now, like all good things in life, the sensor phalanx has a few drawbacks. It uses 5.000 deuterium for each scan, has a limited range (you can click the name of the building either under buildings or in the technologies page to see the ranges granted by the first 10 levels. The formula for range is phalanx level squared minus 1), and it can only pick up fleets launched from planets.
