Star-Strike |

Star-Strike is a multiplayer game that is both turn and tick based. Some actions require turns, others take a specific amount of time and yet others require both. The basic idea behind the game is that you are ruler of your own planet in a limitless galaxy of planets and other empires. You must choose what type of research do perform, the buildings to place on planets, composition of your fleet and so forth. All of this is done to expand the reaches of your empire and to conquer your enemies. Currently the game is in its Alpha stage, so many things are not implemented or don't work the way intended. As a result there is not a whole lot one can do except build ships, colonized unihabited planets and sometimes steal a planet from a neighboring empire.This is a free-for-all, there is no guild setup in place at this time. However there are unofficial alliances and such between players, but all are in their infant stages currently. |

To the right are links to various information pages about Star-Strike. Not much is available at this time as the game is still under developement, but what I can offer in terms of knowledge is there nonetheless. |

The operation of most features of SS are sometimes not the easiest to determine or discover. Therefore I have created a Players Guide that should hopefully help everyone learn how the basics of the game are used and place everyone, old and new, on a somewhat even playing field. At least as far as the basics like colonization, research and ship building are concerned. On political and diplomatic efforts you are on your own.
As always if you have questions or corrections please email me using the link at the bottom of this page. |

Alliances/Guilds |
|
|
|
As of right now Alliances and Guilds are not officially supported by Star-Strike. This means that there is no functionality in the game that allows for team play. However, this does not stop such groups from forming and being active in the galaxy. Since the game is young there are only a few guilds, and only two that are well known. Below is a brief description of both. There may be other guilds that have not become public knowledge yet, something to keep in mind when picking your next target. However this does not mean one must join any alliances at this time. The majority of Star-Strike players do not belong to any guilds and as a result no one entity controls the galaxy outright. |

League of Extraordinary Empires |

The Phoenix Confederation (PC) is the second guild to be formed in the Star-Strike universe. Of the two it is the more organized from an outsiders standpoint, with a member list and command structure that is available to the public. The first impressions of the guild are that it is well organized and very active on the SS forums. PC has an active new player teaching section in the alliance that will instruct members in the finer points of play in SS.
However PC does also appear to be rather expansionist, which may not bode well for independent empires. Each member of the alliance has a quota of planets that must be gathered each month, whether they be gained by colonizing or military expasion. Since colonization is a slow process this means that the majority of a player's planets must be gained by brute strength. As a result constant warfare is necessary and it is unsure at this time whether this warfare will be in a one-on-one basis or group efforts. |

The League of Extraordinary Empires (LEE) used to be part of the CoF. However some of their members split from the former alliance and created the LEE. This alliance is less of an guild than the other currently operating alliance. Instead the LEE is more of a collection of players who enjoy each other's company and the discussions that they have. There is far less orgainization and cooperating in the LEE, instead there is just a basic understanding of protecting each other from outside assaults, not planning them. This means the LEE is more of a defensive arrangement than anything else.
The LEE is newbie friendly. Meaning that any new players to Star-Strike can go to their forum and ask questions and will hopefully not be quite as bashed as they are on the SS forum. |

The Council of Forgotten |
|
|
|
The Council of Forgotten (CoF) is the first alliance every created in the Star-Strike universe. Information on this alliance is scarce as while the member list was posted on the SS forums the overall goals and intentions of this allaince remain somewhat vague. However it was first created as a defensive pact between a number of alliances. The general plan was to band together if one member was attached and to coordinate attacks on the offending empire.
As for offensive capabilities, coordination between members on unsuspecting empires is rare as most members have quite a bit of independence from the ruling member of the alliance. Therefore independent empires have little to worry about the CoF unless attacking a member colony.
Recently the organization of the CoF was thrown into turmoil with most members leaving the alliance to create their own guild (LEE) or joining PC. It is generally felt that this movement has eliminated CoF as an active guild. |

Note to all alliance leaders: If you feel that I have misinterpreted your alliance in any way please contact me either via email or ingame message so that we may discuss this. I am trying to be impartial but misunderstandings can happen and I am always willing to listen if you have a complaint/concern. Also if your alliance is not listed please contact me so that I may add yours to the list. |

While playing the game one will encounter newbies (players with little or no experience). Since Star-Strike is in the Alpha stage please do not scare these players away by wiping them out without a second thought. Instead the following guidelines may help keep the player population growing. If you encounter a newbie:
1. Telegram them to make sure they are active. 24 hours is a good indication if a user is active or not. If no response is given by that time they can be classified as inactive and eaten.
2. When attacking newbies set limits on what you may take. Don't wipe them out but instead take a portion of their planets, then halt and declare a NAP (Non-Agression Pact) to end the hostilities. Granted wiping them out will allow them to restart far away from you, but since there is no point to that please don't.
3. If a newbie asks you question, please answer and don't ignore them feeling doing so is beneath you. It's not, everyone could use some help in this game and that includes the top ten, newbies just need it more.
4. If a newbie attacks first without warning you may retaliate with due force. However if they apologize you should let them live as they will have learned their lesson. |
