In Frontline you take the role of a paid mercenery to blast alien hazzards and keep the galaxy in order. As a player you will controll your Fighters during battle and manage your Battle Ship`s stations. These stations provide more tactical options for your battles so you can last as long as possible during that time. You can make any combination of stations you like, but some may prove more effective then others. You can "boost" your defences or support your fighters to be more effective in batteling aliens. Its all up to you!
During combat stations act as passives so dont worry about pressing too much buttons, just focus on destroyng aliens.
