You can aim at defeating the enemy and taking over the ship before the battle in the map. On the other hand, in search in the map, of course, the enemy is contacted by living humans. A nervous shooting battle is unfolding. After searching until you are satisfied, escape from the map on your own ship. It will be a game cycle that will survive the outer space again and aim for an escape gate.
