Led by [[Synthetic_Sid]], former CEO of [[The Fury]], and [[Mazzelaar]], '''1up''' are one of the few [[alliance]]s to have won two rounds in a row ([[Round 11]] and [[Round 12]]). Despite losing Round 13 to newly-formed [[eXilition]], they pulled a good comeback the following round and ranked first for the third time in their history.

Travel Time

2005-11-16T17:24:34Z

Nef: added a few links; clarified cluster/alliance eta bonus to be for def only.

'''Travel time''' is the number of [[tick]]s taken to travel to or return from a target. It is also known as [[ETA]]. Travel time can be reduced by [[research]]ing the appropriate branch.

The return ETA is calculated by the original ETA minus one. This is because the initial ETA is where your fleet is still at home preparing to launch, but once launched will take the same time to return.

ETA also differs between; classes, destinations and targets - defence to planets in your alliance are 1 tick faster as your crews know to scramble to an alliancemate's aid.

Travel Time in Planetarion is listed below:
* Galaxy ETA: 5 Ticks (all Classes)
* Cluster/Alliance ETA: 7 For FI/CO ; 8 FR/DE ; 9 CR/BA see [[Ship Class]] - note this bonus applies only to [[Defense]] missions. Attacking in [[Cluster]] takes the same time as the Universal ETA.
* Univeral ETA: 8 for FI/CO ; 9 FR/DE ; 10 CR/BA (Note, this is the ETA that shows when you hit the "Launch" button on the [[Mission]]s page. Once launched (the following tick), these fleets are obviously one less, and it is then when they are displayed on the Galaxy Status and the Target is notified of the launch.

'''NewDawn''' has played every round of Planetarion and has often been represented in top blocks and alliance rankings. It was founded in round 1 by [[Sith]], [[Stew]] and [[Stez]]. New Dawn's philosophy is "fun first" and they play the game with that idea first and foremost in their sights. This has contributed to a strong and active community.

NewDawn is one of the oldest of all the alliances, dating from [[Round 1]]. Many members from the very early days of NewDawn still remain.

In recent rounds, NewDawn has made new friends and stepped up a bit, finishing third in [[Round 12]], allied to the winners [[1up]]. After relatively poor showing in the first half of [[Round 13]], NewDawn livened things up again for its members (and perhaps for the game) by merging with [[SiN]] to form [[SiNND]].

Between [[Round 13]] and [[Round 14]] NewDawn suffered a bit of a crisis. [[G-II]] decided to de-merge from NewDawn (they had merged in a much earlier round), and several other members including one HC decided to join [[1up]]. For a while it looked to some like NewDawn would cease to function as an alliance, and most of the universe had written off their round 14 chances. However, the core membership made a very good start to the round, not least due to sterling work from the [[HC]] [[Gate]], [[The_Fish]], [[User:Flying_So-Low|Flying_So-Low]] and [[Spritfire]]; and after a series of other alliances disbanding or collapsing against the winners 1up, NewDawn ended up finishing 2nd. During the round they took in a lot of new members, mainly from the alliances of [[Wolfpack]] and [[Insomnia]], as well as [[SiN]] members formerly playing with [[Hydra]]; increasing membership from about 40 to over 80 members.

NewDawn goes into [[Round 15]] with yet another HC change, with [[Grog]], [[h3ll]], and [[Amon]] joining Flying_So-Low as HC after the departures of Gate, The_Fish and Spritfire from the HC team.

Parallel

2005-10-22T21:24:02Z

Nef: typos fix; also added a link

A '''parallel''' is a collection of [[galaxies]] in [[Planetarion]] which share the y [[coordinates|coordinate]].

Cuurently, there are no special bonuses between parallel members. There is, however, a -1 ETA bonus for traveling to a [[Cluster]] member.

Orbit

2005-10-19T14:58:48Z

Nef: categorised

== Orbit ==

The Orbit alliance was started mid-round 14, when 3 small alliances decided to get together and take on the big boys. These alliances were: [[Unforgiven Sin]], [[EL|European Legion]], and [[Liberators]]. Originally, [[the_powwer]] was supposed to be a part of Orbit and in the first stages of name thinking, it was '''PULSE''' - '''P'''owwer '''U'''nforgiven '''L'''iberators '''S'''in '''E'''uropean-legion. But after the_powwer was no longer a part and the HCs of each alliance consulted, a consensus was made on the point that during a merge, we should leave our pasts behind, hence Orbit.

Near the end of [[round 14]], the alliance had some internal rage and came close to falling apart. But with the will of some hardcore members, [[round 15]] Orbit was born from Xcel GeenPorem Ron7684 Brug and Phrazer with a new will to live on.

Most rounds have private [[Galaxies]] or [[Buddy packs]] which contain planets that will stay together during the shuffle; however there is always the option to play as a randomly placed, solo planet. Buddy Packs and random planets are moved around the universe, either before the ticks begin, or during the initial 72 [[tick]][[Protection]] period.

[[Round 13]], for example, had its shuffle in tick 36. Planets organised into buddypacks were moved at random into new galaxies, with each buddypack sharing a galaxy with one other; the remaining galaxy places were filled with random, solo planets.

Round 13

2005-06-12T19:39:45Z

Nef: altered introduction to reflect the fact that the round is over

So far this has been announced about the upcoming round:

Tick start: 30th March 21:00 GMT

The round ended on the 8th of June 2005 with the last [[tick]] at 21:00 GMT as planned. Havoc began on the 9th of June, and 'Capture the Flag' havoc began on the 10th (see below).

==Key Changes from Round 12==

As stated within the manual

* Golden Asteroids added<br>
* Fleets Page redesigned with new functionality (click on a ship to move it, colour coding and moving ships form all fleets to a single fleet)<br>
* Combat engine changed to add stealing<br>
* Stats changed to all new round 13 stats<br>
* Incomings hostiles/friendlies message gets updated by fleet recalls now and links to the overview
* Can now scan closed planets<br>
* Message added to scans on closed planets stating that they are closed<br>
* New EULA (End User Licence Agreement) - this is the conditions you agree to when you sign up for an account<br>
* New opt in email list for newsletters, round announcements, etc<br>
* You must now give a reason when you leave an alliance and the alliance will be mailed<br>
* Missions page change to remove info column, alt text now appears with the ship name<br>
* Overview layout changes to put incomings information above MOTD<br>
* New default gal banner<br>
* "your galaxy has incomings" message is now only displayed if hostiles are incoming<br>
* Can now fleet scan incoming defence fleets<br>
* Salvage for defenders changed to 15% from attacking and 20% from defending fleets<br>
* The top 3 parallels should now be shown if there are only 1 or 2 clusters<br>
* Galaxy status page redesigned for increased ease of use<br>
* Free planets are now allowed one more HCT and one more ETA research<br>
* Can now defend planets in vacation mode or closed planets<br>
* Limits on Security Centres set to max 35% bonus<br>
* Jolt payment page updated with more current exchange rates<br>
* Free planets can access history<br>
* Buddy Pack creation, joining and leaving is implemented for upgraded planets, on the Preferences screen<br>
* The galaxy system will now no longer create more galaxies, but keep filling up those we have<br>
* Message system rewrite - both planets and alliances can now send messages to planets and alliances. When alliances send messages, no coords or planet names are revealed, only the name of the alliance. Messaging your entire alliance is now done from the new messages page under Alliances, by PR officers, BCs and HCs. Doing that will message anyone accepted into the alliance, even the recruits<br>
* When updating status / kicking an alliance member, the updater can now add a message to the planet being updated. (From the alliance, no coords revealed ofc)<br>
* GCs must now supply an explanation for a started exile, and the exilee is sent a message about the started exile with the explanation<br>
* The old Members page has now been split up into 2 pages, Members and Applicants<br>
* The process of accepting / rejecting new members has been redesigned for better communication etc<br>
* The Members and Applicants page now lists more data for all members; you can sort by clicking on the headers<br>
* The handling of prepaid credits has been rewritten. It is no longer a script running separately causing load every 15 minutes, it now checks only once per signup, at ACTIVATION. First it tries to find a match by email, then by first name & last name & country. If a match is found, the activation page will display this with big yellow text to the user. The player will also see the "upgrade now" link on Overview<br>
* To reduce size of the DB, planet ranking history is only the last 500 ticks and we only store the history every 10 ticks!!! saves lots of DB space<br>
* Scans are now deleted after 24 hours

I am delighted to be able to let you know a few of the changes we will be seeing in round 13. The changes are varied, but nothing to radical or scary

-Upgraded planets can create, join and leave buddy packs before the shuffle.

-The galaxy-system will now no longer create more galaxies, but keep filling up those we have
.
-The PA Mail system has been rewritten - both planets and alliances can now send messages to planets and alliances. When alliances send messages, no coords or planet-names are revealed, only the name of the alliance.

-Messaging your entire alliance is now done from the new messages page under Alliances, by PR-officers, BCs and HCs. Doing that will message anyone accepted into the alliance, even the recruits.

-When updating status / kicking an alliance member, the updater can now add a message to the planet being updated. (From the alliance, no coords revealed ofc.)

-GCs must now supply an explanation for a started exile, and the exilee is sent a message about the started exile with the explanation.

-The old members page has now been split up into 2 pages, Members and Applicants.

-The process of accepting / rejecting new members has been redesigned for better communication etc.

-The Members page now lists more data for all members, and the members can be sorted

-Pre-paid credits are added when a planet is activated rather than with regular script running.

-Scans are now deleted after 24 hours

-Various Code Optimisations

More information will come in the next few weeks

==Galaxy solution for round 13==

Over a course of several meetings we in Pa Team have produced a proposal for round 13 galaxies. So here it is, discuss it criticise it, find problems in it. Kloopy will decide when the irc based Discussion Time on this will take place later today.

Signups open with 20 gals with a mentor in each
Signups are allocated to one of those mentor gals until tick 36

Once upgraded people can make buddy packs with upto 3 people on preferences screen - this works by adding a code to your planet which the shuffler will then use to move you and your friends together into one galaxy with other packs and randoms.

In tick 36, the shuffle creates as many gals as possible with packs totalling 6 people (2 packs of 3, or 3 packs of 2)
Paid randoms are shuffled first (including packs of 1 person).

Free randoms are then distributed among those 6-person pack gals based on score - this means that the better free randoms are put into gals first and spread evenly across the universe with the less good ones being added in later. So all galaxies have an equal chance of getting good free players.

After the shuffle there will be lots of gals each with 6 people from packs and randoms givgin each galaxy approximatly 10 planets.
No more galaxies are ever created

When a galaxy exiles a planet they will be sent to c200+ like in this round.

Signups and exiles (returning form c200+) are distributed through these gals with no gal-size limit, placing them into a gal in the bottom 20% by planet count. So this means that the galaxies with the most players get the lowest possibly priority on new players.

Notes:

Mentor – community volunteer / pa representative who will help people out where possible - normal players are shuffled as normal, PaTeam members moved to 1:1 etc

Congratulations to Vargon for creating the name which was selected from the shortlist by the public vote. When asked what his inspiration was he said:<br>
Yes, The Illusion of Truth is an ironic title.<br>
Its my take on politics, and to some degree how similiar it is to R5 thru R8 politics. I was on the darkside then and learned how to hide in the early part of a round. For me, I see these 'new' names joining alliances and I can't help but think, Who are they really?<br>
So, the truth is out there. Can we determine the truth? Or will certain alliances "pull the wool" over our eyes again, and run away with it?<br>
Let us all endeavor to break through the illusions, and find the truth. For the betterment of our own alliances and a more balanced round.

For his efforts Vargon wins a free credit for Round 13. Once again thankyou to everyone who submitted a name and who voted.

Each galaxy has there own flag and it is held by a certain player in the galaxy, to steal the flag you must attack the player with pods and there is a chance you'll steal it.<br>
The galaxy with the most points at the end of the round is the winner.<br>
<br>
Points are:<br>
5 points for having your galaxy flag in your galaxy<br>
1 point for having any other galaxy's flag in your galaxy<br>

<b>Capture the Flag F.A.Q.<br></b>
<br>
<b>How does the points system work?<br></b>
At any point in time, your galaxy CTF points are calculated as follows:<br>
1 point for any flags in your gal.<br>
5 points if your gal contains your OWN flag asteroid.<br>
<br>
<b>What happens when my flag is stolen?<br></b>
You lose points when flags are stolen from your galaxy. There are no points for just holding these flag asteroids.<br>

<b>Surely galaxies should get score for holding the asteroids to avoid a rush at the end?<br></b>
You may well find stocking up on Flag Roids during CTF is a good tactic. You don't know for sure how much competition there will be at the end of the round. And if everyone rushes your galaxy for your flags in the last day, the more you have the more chance you've got of having some left over.<br>
<br>
<b>Why are there no planet, normal galaxy or alliance rankings?<br></b>
As stated above, this game is all about the flag roids your galaxy is able to grab! The score ranking of planets, galaxies and alliances matters not one bit for CTF, therefore they are not displayed.<br>
<br>
<b>How do I capture a Flag Roid?<br></b>
You capture flag roids just like normal asteroids. When you roid a planet that has a flag, one specific roid of theirs will be the flag. Thus, if you gain the full 25% cap, there is a 25% chance that one of the capped roids will be the flag. <br>
<br>
<b>What if there are multiple attackers landing on the same tick?<br></b>
If the attackers have a combined total of 25% cap, then there is a 25% chance the flag is capped. If this is the case, it is given to one of the attacking fleets based on a percentage chance equivalent to the number of asteroids that fleet capped. So if one fleet caps 100 roids and another caps 200, the second fleet has twice as much chance of getting the flag.<br>
<br>
<b>What if two galaxies have the same number of flags?<br></b>
If more than 1 galaxy has the same number of CTF points, their rank is determined by the total score of all the galaxies planets.<br>
<br>
<b>How do I see where my galaxy's Flag Roid is?<br></b>
If you go to the Universe page, and click on to "Misc", you will see a list of all the Flag Roids. You can find where your galaxy's flag is by checking the coordinates next to it.<br>
<br>
<b>Can I track the history of my galaxy's Flag Roid?<br></b>
Yes, by clicking on your roid in the Universe Misc page, you get to see the entire history of the flag. You can see who owned it and for how long.<br>
<br>
<b>Can Flag Roids be destroyed by Covert Operations?<br></b>
No, it is not possible to destroy the Flag Roids. If it was possible, we would end up with them all destroyed and the game would not work.<br>
<br>
<b>What happens if my galmate who owns a Flag Roid exiles?<br></b>
If a planet owns Flag Roids and is exiled (either self-exile or GC exile) the flags follow them into their new galaxy.<br>
<br>
<b>Is it possible to move a flag from one planet to another within my galaxy?<br></b>
No, this is not allowed. If a planet had incomings or an attack was planned on the planet, then it wouldn't be fair to the attackers if the flag was moved.<br>
<br>
<b>Can I re-create/re-join alliances for Capture the Flag?<br></b>
Yes, alliances work as they did during the main round. However, there is no bonus for alliances holding many flags at all. And by joining an alliance, you cut out a number of possible attack targets who may have flags at some point. CTF is all about galaxies, not alliances.<br>
<br>
<b>Why are my fleets launching at odd times? Why is my value higher than my score?<br></b>
The load on the server is very high during combat. Because of this the ticker runs very slowly. It is currently taking about 10 minutes to complete an entire tick. Whilst the ticker is running, scores can be displayed incorrectly and the ETA you expect and the ETA shown on fleets may not match. Be assured though, that when the tick finished after 10 minutes, all the data is correct.<br>
<br>
<b>Do I have to be my galaxy's flag carrier in order to steal a flag?<br></b>
No, anyone can capture Flag Roids. And you can theoretically own all of them at once, if you were lucky enough to capture and hold them all.<br>

'''Angels''' was the new form of [[FAnG]], and as such shares most of the core members. Founded by alch, behem0th, callan, Irvine and kjeldoran. It came into being in [[Round 12]] as a secret [[BG]] in [[Mistu]], but decided mid-round to play as a fully-fledged alliance. Although only having half the number of players that other top alliances have, it still managed to finish 10th with the second highest average score. It is continuing as an independent [[Alliance]] in [[Round 13]].

'''Angel''' was a small/medium sized alliance from [[Round 2]] to [[Round 8]]. It was led by [[An|Leader]] r2, but had other HCs later rounds like [[Lucky]], [[Lapkaus]], [[B-Butch3r]], [[KingSmithy]], and [[Ambrosia]]. Angel was close related to the [[XeTa]] block r6 and [[Newx]] r7, but was mainly playing for fun and helping new players.
After r8 a lot of Angel players went to ROCK

Not to be confused with the current alliance [[Angels]] which first played as an independant group under that name in [[Round 12]].

I am delighted to be able to let you know a few of the changes we will be seeing in round 13. The changes are varied, but nothing to radical or scary

-Upgraded planets can create, join and leave buddy packs before the shuffle.

-The galaxy-system will now no longer create more galaxies, but keep filling up those we have
.
-The PA Mail system has been rewritten - both planets and alliances can now send messages to planets and alliances. When alliances send messages, no coords or planet-names are revealed, only the name of the alliance.

-Messaging your entire alliance is now done from the new messages page under Alliances, by PR-officers, BCs and HCs. Doing that will message anyone accepted into the alliance, even the recruits.

-When updating status / kicking an alliance member, the updater can now add a message to the planet being updated. (From the alliance, no coords revealed ofc.)

-GCs must now supply an explanation for a started exile, and the exilee is sent a message about the started exile with the explanation.

-The old members page has now been split up into 2 pages, Members and Applicants.

-The process of accepting / rejecting new members has been redesigned for better communication etc.

-The Members page now lists more data for all members, and the members can be sorted

-Pre-paid credits are added when a planet is activated rather than with regular script running.

-Scans are now deleted after 24 hours

-Various Code Optimisations

More information will come in the next few weeks

Over a course of several meetings we in Pa Team have produced a proposal for round 13 galaxies. So here it is, discuss it criticise it, find problems in it. Kloopy will decide when the irc based Discussion Time on this will take place later today.

Signups open with 20 gals with a mentor in each
Signups are allocated to one of those mentor gals until tick 36

Once upgraded people can make buddy packs with upto 3 people on preferences screen - this works by adding a code to your planet which the shuffler will then use to move you and your friends together into one galaxy with other packs and randoms.

In tick 36, the shuffle creates as many gals as possible with packs totalling 6 people (2 packs of 3, or 3 packs of 2)
Paid randoms are shuffled first (including packs of 1 person).

Free randoms are then distributed among those 6-person pack gals based on score - this means that the better free randoms are put into gals first and spread evenly across the universe with the less good ones being added in later. So all galaxies have an equal chance of getting good free players.

After the shuffle there will be lots of gals each with 6 people from packs and randoms givgin each galaxy approximatly 10 planets.
No more galaxies are ever created

When a galaxy exiles a planet they will be sent to c200+ like in this round.

Signups and exiles (returning form c200+) are distributed through these gals with no gal-size limit, placing them into a gal in the bottom 20% by planet count. So this means that the galaxies with the most players get the lowest possibly priority on new players.

Notes:

Mentor – community volunteer / pa representative who will help people out where possible - normal players are shuffled as normal, PaTeam members moved to 1:1 etc

Creators Hour

2005-04-23T23:51:18Z

Nef: mostly spelling/grammar errors corrected. Added a little to the WAP/SMS section.

== Creators Hour #2 ==

'''Time: '''''Round 2 - 21 Aug 2004'' '''Place: '''''#creators''

Heres a summary of some of the more interesting aspects of the second ever creators hour:

=== Database Dumps ===

<Spinner> The Tahmer search page is an unauthorized bot page
<Spinner> These days, we are completeing the work on the data that Pbot will access
<Spinner> And it will be available VERY soon
<Spinner> for everyone to use
<vish> this info will be placed on a server outside planetarion so that we do not get that extra
load
<Spinner> As soon as that is ready, we do not want any loose bots out there using different data

In the early rounds if you wanted to run a site like [[Pilkara]] or [[Sandmans]], your only method of gathering the data was through the use of a Data Miner bot. The likes of [[Sn0w]] and [[Tahmer]] would create a seperate account and set their bot to login to this acocunt and parse all the galaxy pages. This data would then be stored and could then be used by their tools. The two most famous tools at the time were [[SnOws]] IRC bot [[PBOT]] and [[Tahmers]] website. The amount of bandwith these bots and others like them took to gather the data forced the [[Creators]] to start producing the database dumps that all tools today run from.

=== Alliance Controls ===

<Messiah> From Kittenpurr:
<Messiah> Have you got anything planned regarding the limiting or controlling alliance size?
<Spinner> Yes, but not anything you will see in a very near future
<Spinner> But sometime in this round, something like this will be implemented
<Spinner> The actual way we are doing it is still inside my head.....
<Spinner> In very dynamic forms...
<Spinner> So I dont have detils on this yet

As always time in PA gets distorted, if they say 10 mins it means 10 hours and if they say in near future they mean in around 4 years :) This feature took until Round 10 to implement and seems alot more static than what [[Spinner]] had in mind.

Round 2

Round 2 was dominated by [[Fury]] and [[Legion]]. The biggest events of the round were the collapse of [[Concordium]] and [[BlueTuba Day]]. There was also a major battle at an [[F-Crew]] planet which remains possibly the only battle to have crashed the server from too many fleets and ships.{{stub}}

BlueTuba Day

2005-04-23T05:11:15Z

Nef: fixed a link

'''[[BlueTuba]] Day''' ''was the idea of an unknown individual, who created a website encouraging people to launch an all out attack on BlueTuba on a certain day. At the time there was much whining and complaining on the forums due to Tuba's apparent domination of the universe, hence the website appealed to all small planets to launch at your venerable local Tuba. The alliance didn't expect much to come of this, however it was put on alert due to the possibility that established hostile alliances may take the opportunity to launch in the confusion. On the day nothing happened; however a few weeks later [[Legion]] and [[Fury]] declared war on Tuba, and with the help of [[Concordium]] - created a few 'BlueTuba Months'; which we very much enjoyed:''

----

Well Folks, Here are the starting details of the first of many BT-Day's to come! We are still organising this massive scale attack - here are some preliminary details for you to nut over while you make your arrangements with all your friends!

These details are subject to change - so please make sure you email us with your planet co-ordinates and details so we can check that you are not a spy - and keep you informed of final launch times.

The Plan:

'''Attack all Blue Tuba alliance members''' :- Offensive launch starts at 12:00 CET Saturday September 2nd. IF YOU HAVE A 9 HOUR TRAVEL TIME. If sending Battleships as well, launch at 11:00 CET.

These travel times are if you are leaving yours galaxy. This is the current theory .. it may change yet.

Expect some losses, there will naturally be some casualties in this offence, the losses will be more than made for in the following weeks as we feed on the dying husks of the BlueTuba planets.

Attack strong Blue Tubas within your own galaxy first - even better if this is done several days before BT day. If you have destroyed the Blue tubas in your galaxy or have none then its time to pick another target - maybe someone who has attacked you or a friend, but any Blue Tuba tag will do :)

Know that others in your galaxy will support you. Send a good proportion of ships to attack (say 50%) in this first wave leaving 50% to defend with. There should be very little retaliation to this strike as attacks will be occuring on BT through out the universe.

If the BlueTuba stench in your galaxy is too strong then await backup on BT day. Remember that you will have others in your galaxy launching also.

Keep an eye on the galaxy news thread to make sure your galaxy mates are also launching. Keep an eye on the galaxy news thread to see if your BT opponent launches his fleet and where to. He can only attack a few people at most, most BT will stay and defend though.

Note the locations of any fleets coming from outside the galaxy to defend. So that all who help in defences can also be made to pay!

04:24, 6 Jan 2005 (GMT)04:24, 6 Jan 2005 (GMT)04:24, 6 Jan 2005 (GMT)04:24, 6 Jan 2005 (GMT)04:24, 6 Jan 2005 (GMT)04:24, 6 Jan 2005 (GMT)04:24, 6 Jan 2005 (GMT)04:24, 6 Jan 2005 (GMT)04:24, 6 Jan 2005 (GMT)04:24, 6 Jan 2005 (GMT)04:24, 6 Jan 2005 (GMT)04:24, 6 Jan 2005 (GMT)[[Patrician]] 04:24, 6 Jan 2005 (GMT)

'''Most of all get everyone involved''' - BT-Day will eventually be a day of feasting and celebration.... but first there is work to be done.

'''The Figures:'''

The game has approximately 30000 players, 15000 large enough to make a difference. Blue Tuba has 2000 members - with possibly 1000 allies foolish enough to help defend.

This is a very very do-able task - and in fact I believe we'll find it enjoyable too!

Cluster alliance

2005-04-12T21:23:42Z

Nef:

A ''cluster alliance'' is an alliance created with only members from the same [[cluster]]. It has several key features namely, defense, hostiles and intelligence.
<br>
''Defense'' within the cluster can be very important due to the ETA-1 bonus. This means that people can send you faster [[defend|defence]] when needed. It should be remembered that this bonus is ''not'' cumulative with [[alliance]] travel time bonus.
<br>

''Hostiles'' within the cluster in rounds prior to round 10 could be very painful. See the ''defense'' part and imagine the reverse condition happening. It was important to make sure no hostiles within the cluster would appear. However, since [[Round 10]] there has been no in-cluster travel time bonus for attacks.
<br>

''Intelligence'' towards the start of a round is often incomplete. This means that you will often find active players from opposing alliances working together to form a cluster alliance, as it is often the most active players who will wish to do so. However, due to their activity it's very likely that they are skilled players in an alliance. Possibly friendly but possibly hostile as well. That is why its important to get good feed-back from the alliance to know who is friendly, neutral or hostile. <br>

First the cluster alliance may attempt only to make sure that no hostiles from within the cluster appear so that you can make a good start. However, most cluster alliances today will probably focus around a defensive arrangement, to back up defense from your [[alliance]] or [[Block]]. In some instances, clusters may also attack together; however, there is little benefit to doing so.

Travel Time

2005-04-03T19:37:56Z

Nef:

Time taken to travel to or return from a target. Measured in [[Tick]]s. Also known as ETA. Travel Time can be reduced by researching the appropriate branch on the Research page in-game.

Due to an imbalance in the physical nature of the universe, return travel time may not always be quite the same as outgoing travel time; it may be offset by one tick.

[[Category: Terminology]]

Universe

2005-03-31T19:57:51Z

Nef:

This page in-game shows the top 100 rankings of [[Planets]], [[Galaxy|Galaxies]], and [[Alliance]]s, as well as the planets which have made the most [[Fleet]] launches, and [[Covert Ops]]. The Misc. section shows other data on the [[Planetarion]] universe such as the numbers of each [[Race]].

{{stub}}

Alliance

2005-03-31T19:55:40Z

Nef:

An '''alliance''' is a group of players that works together primarily in attacking and defending.

In the current Planetarion setup, Alliances are part of the game. Since [[Round 10]], joining an alliance in-game has allowed all the [[planets]] within that alliance to defend each other with -1 [[Travel Time]]. Players can apply to join an alliance from the alliances page in-game. Most alliances also have an [[IRC]] channel, and it usually best to enquire about joining there before applying in-game.

The [[Universe]] page has a section on alliances which shows the ranking of the top 100 alliances in the game. This data is compiled by addding up all of the planets signed up to the alliance in-game.

Joining an alliance is very important if you want to have a good planet. It will be your primary source of [[Defend|Defense]], especially if you are in a bad [[Galaxy]]; and will probably also provide a lot of attacks for you to take part in.

Nef: attack/defend

sorry, tried to see how it worked and didn't find the way to undo it heh

nice webby btw

No problem, I figured it was something like that. Glad you like it. -[[User:Banned|Banned]] 21:19, 10 Jan 2005 (GMT)

how does this work

Depends on what you mean by 'this' doesn't it. If you want to experiment, you can try the [[Help:Sandbox|sandbox]]. -[[User:Banned|Banned]] 01:35, 23 Mar 2005 (GMT)

== attack/defend ==

Thanks for tidying up the stuff I did yesterday, and adding stuff I can't believe I missed! However, I do think it might be a good idea to show such basic concepts as 'attack' and 'defend' in the index pages, which is why I made them seperate pages...?

Ship Type

2005-03-29T01:18:55Z

Nef: /* Astropod */ - fixed a link

Different ships do different kinds of damage. Some are particular to certain [[Race|races]], others are shared by them all. A ship's damage is applied to the target's armor, determining the amount of ships that are affected. The effect is determined by the type of damage.

== Normal ==
Kill ships, or normal ships, do '''normal''' damage to other ships. Traditionally [[Race|Terran]] and [[Race|Xandathrii]] have only normal ships. Generally [[Race|Cathaar]] and [[Race|Zikonian]] normal ships have been weaker than their [[Race|Terran]] and [[Race|Xandathrii]] counterparts, but that isn't always the case.

== Astropod ==
Arguably the most important ship type of the game, '''astropods''' capture enemy [[asteroids]]. They are also known as Astro Pods or simply Pods. In [[Round 13]] there are 8 types of pod, or two for each [[Race]] (refer to the [[Round 13:Ship Stats]] for more information).

For more information on capturing asteroids, refer to [[Combat]].

In previous rounds, there have been different types and number of pods. For example, the earliest rounds of Planetarion had just one type: the ''Astropod''.

== Structure Killers ==
A '''Structure Killer''' is a ship that targets [[Construction|structures]].

== EMP ==
'''EMP''' ships generally have low initiative and hold enemy ships for a tick of combat rather than kill them. Held ships are not able to fire that tick, but ''can'' be killed if normal ships fire on them later in combat. After round 5 only [[Race|Cathaar]] ships have had the EMP ability. Previously everyone could build some EMP ships, and some were reserved for an exclusive technology branch called ''Science''. (Its counterpart, ''War'', gave access to powerful kill ships.)

== Subversion ==
A ship that does '''subversion''' damage borrows enemy ships for the remainder of the tick. The ship is borrowed from the beginning of the next stage of initiative (or at the end of this stage). Ships that have previously been held are freed up and control is transfered. Subverted ships are immune to further damage (normal or otherwise) while being controlled.

== Steal ==
During some previous rounds there were ships that could '''steal''' ships permanently; this feature has been put back in the game for [[Round 13]]. In Round 13 stealing ships fire after astropods, but to compensate they steal every ship they would normally kill.

Attack

2005-03-29T00:01:13Z

Nef:

One of two [[Mission]] types. A [[Fleet]] sent to Attack will usually attempt to steal [[Asteroids]] and/or destroy [[Structures]] at its target [[Planets|Planet]]. A fleet must include the appropriate [[Ship Type]]s for this to occur. It will also fight any [[Defend|Defending]] ships present the [[Tick]] it lands.

Only planets bigger than forty per cent of the attacker's own [[Value]] may be attacked.

Nef:

Missions in [[Planetarion]] are [[Attack]] or [[Defend]]. They can be ordered from the Missions page in-game.
