'''Call-Ins''' are special actions that any player may take by spending [[Tribes: Ascend/Credits|credits]] earned in a match. They are sent down onto the map by ships orbiting the planet above. To use a Call-in, a player must press the hotkey for the desired action (default hotkeys are 3, 4, and 5). The player then uses a laser to paint the target area. The amount of time the player must paint the target is different for each action. While targeting the player must keep the beam on a valid surface or partially reset the timer. Once a player has used a Call-In, they must wait for a cool-down period before using the same call-in again. During this time the player may use a different call-in or other players may use the same one if they have enough credits to do so. There are three Call-Ins, listed below:
==Tactical Strike==
A'' Tactical Strike'' calls-in a heavy bombardment over a small area. Each player or asset caught in the blast takes 10000 damage; enough to kill anything outright. Cappers sometimes use these to clear the flag stand as they come in for a grab. A ''Tactical Strike'' has a moderate targeting time, and costs 4000 credits.
==Supply Drop==
A ''Supply Drop'' calls-in destroyable [[Tribes: Ascend/Inventory Station|Inventory Station]] on the painted area. This station functions exactly like any other station, except that it does not regenerate health. ''Supply Drops'' are often used to place a station closer to the flag base to aid in defense, or by offensive players who need to reload their weapons, such as [[Tribes: Ascend/Juggernaut|Juggernaut]]s using [[Tribes: Ascend/Fusion Mortar|mortar]] strikes. ''Supply Drop'' costs 2000 credits to call-in and has a short targeting time. This can also be used as a weapon, as it deals 16000 damage to anything below it, though you must lead with it as it cannot be used ontop of something.

==Orbital Strike==
An ''Orbital Strike'' works just like a ''Tactical Strike'' except the blast radius is much bigger. This call-in can cover the entire enemy base (or the player's one if it is overrun) and will destroy anything caught in it's blast. There is a warning siren just prior to the strike and the clouds in the sky begin to swirl, giving players a few moments to try and take cover. An ''Orbital Strike'' costs 10000 credits to call-in and has a long targeting time.
