Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is meant by "Planet immunity" (Klingon/Rebel)
A: Planets that set their FC to ATT or NUK will attack an enemy ship that orbit it even though that ship has not set Primary Enemy or mission Kill. However Klingon and Rebel ships cannot be attacked by planets in this way. This is the normal Host behaviour for those 2 races.

Q: Klingons have "Ships immune to GD". Does this mean that if an enemy sets off a GD, then no damage will be taken?
A: If you are the owner of the GD ship that gets POPed, then you only get 10% while all enemy ships get 100% minehit damage. However if another race POP a GD, Klingon ships will only get 10% damage to their ships. This in the normal Host behaviour for the Klingons.

Q: If I have a hardened cloak, does this mean that the cloak will still work regardless of how much damage the ship has?
A: Yes

Q: Do stickymines drain fuel?
A: No. They are webmines with 0 fuel drain

Q: Where it's got "minefields safe travel" and then in brackets cloaked or uncloaked, does this mean I must be cloaked or uncloaked to get the bonus? If I choose the top option in this row, can I travel cloaked at Warp 8 with immunity?
A: If it say Uncloaked it only applies when you are not cloaked. If it says Cloaked, then you must be cloaked for it to apply. In the top option you will not hit a minefield when you travel at warp 8 or less and your ships are uncloaked.

Q: How many experience points are required to get to next level?
A: Experience levels are:0, 750, 1500, 3000, 6000

Q: What Experience Levels are there and how much points are needed to advance a level?
A: There are 4 Levels you can gain (0, 750,1500,3000,6000) which are called Recruit, Soldier, Experienced, Elite, Ultra Elite in that order.

Q: How are experience awarded?
A: You can train you crew to gain experience, but most things that you do also gain experience like:

EPPlanetAging = 25
