Playstyle
Opener. The Directorate begins with two ships and a -10% colony maintenance cushion. Found one secondary colony as soon as you can afford it; your maintenance discount means you can sustain capacity that other factions can’t. Spend your starting mineral bonus on an Orbital Foundry.
Mid-game. Your +10% mineral economy compounds. Build a third and fourth colony before anyone else can match your throughput. The Directorate’s curve is logistical: out-build, out-supply, out-last.
Late game. Heavy Cruisers and Battleship Dreadnoughts are built faster and maintained cheaper than any rival faction. Mass them into deep formations rather than skirmish lines — the Directorate doesn’t outmanoeuvre, it overwhelms.
Hard against: Vanguard Nomads — their nebula-traversal advantage erodes your supply line discipline. Easy against: Nyx Collective in early-game; their starting fleet is half a Directorate fleet.
