So, you are clanless? You would like to create or join a clan? Well, here’s where you start:



Joining a clan:
If you do not feel like creating a clan yourself, you can always join one that already exsists. That’s how you send an application:
1. You use this bar to find the clan you’d like to join. You can also use full clanlist which is on the right side.
2. Here you input your application text. Make sure you describe yourself as a player and so on, to give the clan leaders an image of a player you are, so they can decide whether to accept you or not.
You’ll get a confirmation of your application being sent.



If you do not have 50.000 credits on your ship, you won’t be able to apply. Instead, you’ll get this message:



After you applied for one or more clans, you’ll be able to view and delete any of the applications by clicking on “open applications”. A window will come up:



Clicking on “delete” will cancel the chosen application and you’ll get confirmation:



If a clan accepts your application, it will be noted in your logbook:



If you had more active applications for other clans, they automatically get deleted. 50.000 credits application fee gets deducted from your account after an application has been accepted.
The fee, clan tax and clan payments are noted in your uridium/credits balance:



Founding a clan:
Everyone can create a clan. Are you a leader type? Looking for new challenges? It’s simple. All you need is 300.000 credits as a one time fee when creating a clan.
Here you can choose your future clans:
3.Clanname
4.Clantag
5.Description of your clan
After you have done filled those in, simply click on “Found clan”.
Congratulations, you now are the clan leader of your own clan!
After founding a clan, you’ll have following entries in your logbook and uridium/credits balance overview:
Logbook:



Balance:



This is how the frontpage of a clan looks like:



Here you can:
Note: 1, 2 and 3 can be used by clan leader and clan leader only!
1. Change clan name/tag, company affilation and more. Clicking on “edit” will bring this window up:



Simply enter desired changes and press “ok” to save. Also, note that if you enter a teamspeak adress, it will be only visible to clan members; people outside the clan won’t be able to see it until they apply and get accepted into your clan.
2. Lets you edit the clan description visible for other players. Clicking “edit” will bring this window up:



Again, all you have to do is enter desired changes to the clantext and press “ok”.
3. Allows the clan leader and members with certain permission (will be discussed a little later) post clan news – short messages visible for all clanmembers on the frontpage. Clicking on “add” brings following window up:



It allows you to enter a message which after clicking “ok” will be visible for all clan members.
4. Allows you to change the clan logo. Simply click on “edit” and this window will come up:



All you have to do is click on “browse”, find desired picture for the logo on your computer and then press “ok”.

5. Lets you to search for the clans & show full clan list.

The clanlist looks like this:



The clans are sorted alphabetically after their names (not tags).
To search for clans, simply enter any combination of symbols, numbers or letters and the system will show you suggestions.



Clicking on a clan name/tag found either by search bar or full clan list will bring a box with information about it:



The search function and the full list of clans can be used when being clanless too – obviously before a person applies to a clan, they’ll want to know as much as possible about your principles and so on, so try to make a nice clan description which will encourage users to apply.

Default Members

Lets head over to members section. It looks like this:



Here you can:
1. Administrate ranks. Here you can create ranks for your members and assign them different rights in clan. Clicking it will bring following window up:



You have two main options:
1. Creates a rank with a name of your choice.
After you create a rank, you’ll get a confirmation window:



2. Deletes the rank.
The white squares are where you assign rights for the ranks.
1. Create newsletter. This option lets users to send a message to all clan members.
2. View and edit applications. This option lets users to accept or decline new clan applicants.
3. Dismiss members. This option lets users kick every (not clan leader) other member of the clan, regardless of their rank. Give this rank only to people you trust.
4. Edit ranks. This option lets users do exactly what you are doing now – assign the ranks to other members, change the permissions and so on. This one has to be given only to people you absolutely 100% trust.
5. Diplomacy: view requests, start diplomatic agreement. This option lets users to accept the pact and NAP requests sent by other clans, as well as send these request to other clans.
6. Diplomacy: end alliances. This option lets users to cancel any current NAPs or pacts with other clans.
7. Diplomacy: declare wars on other clans. Pretty self explanatory, this option lets the users declare a war on any chosen clans.
8. Payment from clan treasury. This option lets users to make a payment from clan treasury. Be careful when assigning this rank; only give it to people you trust 100%.
9. Change tax rate. Taxes are collected once a day; this option lets the users assign the % tax rate.
10. Create clan news. This option lets users post messages on the “clan info” on the clan front page.
After assigning permissions to the ranks, simply click “ok” to save changes. You can create up to 8 different ranks. If you are trying to create more, you’ll get this message:



Many times people say their clan was “hacked”; someone stole credits or kicked the members. This can only happen if they are given permissions to do so. The most crucial ones are payment from clan treasury and edit ranks permissions. If you assign “edit ranks” permission to a rank, you practically give that rank all other permissions too, because person having this permission can go into “administrate ranks” and assign permissions however they want to.
2. Transfer leadership. You can transfer clan leadership to any of the members. Clicking on this button brings following window up:



Simply choose a member from the list and press “ok”. Remember, this decision cannot be reversed – only way to get leadership back is to have the user currently having it, transfer it back.
3. Delete the clan. This option allows deletion of the clan. All credits in the treasury will be lost, the decision cannot be reversed. This option is only available for the clan leader. Normal members will have an option to leave the clan instead. After a clan is disbanded, the members will see a message like this in their logbook:



After the clan is disbanded or after you have left the clan, you will have to wait 48 hours to apply for a new clan or create one. If you try to do it before this time has gone, you’ll end up getting this message:



4. Allows you to assign a rank for the clan member. After clicking “edit”, a window will pop up:



Simply choose a rank from the list and press “ok”. If you do not assign any rank to a member, they won’t have any special rights.
You have earlier created some ranks & given them permissions in point 1. – by assigning the rank to a member, you hereby grant them any permission you have set for it. Remember to follow the tips – the crucial permissions should be only given to the people you really trust!
By clicking “dismiss member”, you are able to kick the chosen user out from the clan. You’ll be asked for confirmation of your decision, if you do confirm, you’ll ger this message:



5. Lists current applications to the clan. Click on “view”. You’ll see what the applicant wrote and you will have an option to accept or decline the application:



If you accept an application, you’ll get a confirmation window:



If you decline the application, you’ll get this message:

Simply click “ok” and your request is sent. The other clan has to accept your request in order to end the war. Until it’s done, the war continues. Normal pacts (NAP & alliance) can be cancelled same way, you just do not need the confirmation from another alliance. Once you decide to cancel a pact, you can do it right away.

You can change company of your own ship at any time – it costs 5000 uridium and half of your honor. To switch, you will also have to cancel all quests you have running. Simply click on an icon of the desired company & confirm the change.

This guide should cover all questions about how the clan system works. Are you a born leader? Or do you just want to join a clan and follow others inctructions? It’s all your choice – good luck, space pilot!

Default The Football Betting System

The Football Betting System

So you've logged onto the game and got a pop-up that looks very similar to this one.



But What does it mean?

Well, depending on what server you are on, you will get a line of text like this :
Don't forget to cheer on England - after all, their victory is your victory!

As you can see the bet is for England.

Great so What Am I Betting on?
Well quite simply it works like this:
  • If your team doesn't score - you will just get the uridium you paid for.
  • If your team scores 1 goal - we will double the amount uridium you bought
  • If your team scores two goals - we will Triple the amount of uridium you bought
And etc etc.

Sounds brilliant, Anything else I should know?
Well Yes.
Only transactions made before kick-off will count
Only goals in normal time and added time will count (So none in extra time or a penalty shoot out will count).
And you'll get your bonus uridium within 48 hours of the game.

All that is left is to wish you good luck and enjoy the game.
