Fleets

classes

a fleets can consist of ships of 4 different classes. you have 3 fleets in which you can organize your ships. a fleet is only complete if it has ships from all 4 classes.

warp

you need at least one class 4 ship with a warp drive (for example a mothership) in your fleet to travel in deep space. most class 4 ships can generate a warpfield around your fleet and open a hyperspace gateway through which the fleets travel. when you loose all your warp capable ships in a fleet, this fleet hangs in space and can only return when you send another fleet with another warp-capable ship.

attitudes

you can set the attitude to 'attack', 'defense' or you can define your own secret attack-code. all encountering fleets in space that have different attitudes fight against each other. fleets with the same attitude stay in peace. your planet always has a defensive attitude, so if you want others to help you they have to put their fleets on defense also, otherwise they would fight against your planet.

cloaking

a cloaked fleet is invisible to other fleets and cannot fight. you need at least one ship with a cloaking device to cloak your fleet.
