Alliance
Alliances are persistent groups of up to 50 commanders that share rankings, internal news and tactical coordination tools.
Creating an alliance
You can create an alliance after your homeworld reaches a small minimum score and you can afford the founding cost. A new alliance needs:
- A unique tag (3 to 5 characters).
- A unique name (4 to 40 characters).
Both fields go through a profanity filter. Once accepted, you become Founder.
Joining
Send a join request from the Alliance screen. The Founder or any rank with invite permission can accept it. Some alliances are invite-only; their join button is disabled.
Ranks
Ranks are configurable. Default ranks ship with the following permissions: founder, deputy, member, recruit. Higher ranks can be granted: invite, kick, news, sanction, set-ranks.
Internal news
Each alliance has a circular news feed (server authoritative, ordered, persisted). Members with permission can post; everyone else reads.
Combat coordination
Allied fleets can be told apart from neutrals on the galaxy view. Defending allies on the same planet is supported.
