Staging Area

Staging Area Uses
The Staging Area acts as a type of temporary station for vehicles in the game, and lasts for at least 24 hours (can be extended manually). Vehicles allocated to a Staging Area travel to a Staging Area as Code 1: Clear and Available, and can be responded as usual from this location - as per being housed in their normal station(s), and return to the Staging Area upon completion or cancellation of the call.

It is great for storm alliance calls located away from your main area of operations, where you can allocate and send vehicles to save on ongoing travel times.

It can also be used as a "bridge" to extend the maximum travel distance to reach distant alliance missions. When the Staging Area reaches 24 hours duration (if not extended), it disappears and any vehicles left allocated to it return to their home locations. Vehicles can still be allocated to missions when returning from the Staging Area.

Levels
The Staging Area has no levels - there is no vehicle number cap on the Staging Area.

Vehicles
The staging area can house all vehicles, land- and air-based, and any numbers of the same.

Vehicles cannot be purchased from the Staging Area.

Upgrades
The time that the Staging Area lasts for can be manually extended by pressing the circular arrow button next to the timer on the main Staging Area menu. This resets the timer clock back to 24:00:00.

The Staging Area has no other upgrades

Alliance
Once built, the Staging Area is visible to all other members of your alliance, who can use the Staging Area with no restrictions until it disappears.
