Introduction How to Play StarShips Orders Terrain Relations Strategies APIs

Relations

In-Game Chat

  • When a game begins you will see the in-game Chat interface in the upper right of the game screen.
  • Type in the text you want to send to other Star Lords and hit Enter to send it.
  • Incoming chat appears in the text box below.
  • You can close the Chat interface if you're not interested in conversing.
  • If the Chat interface is closed, and another Star Lord sends you some chat ...
    • The Comm button will take on a yellow outline ...
    • and you will hear an audible cue.

Chat Channels

  • You can change the Chat Channel.  Doing so affects which Star Lords see the Chat that you send.
  • You can choose to send your Chat to all Star Lords, or only your allies or enemies.

Alliances

  • Click the Relations button to enter the Relations interface, where you can set and break Alliances.
  • Here you will see a list of other Star Lords in the game.
  • Next to each Star Lord is an visual indicator that displays two pieces of information:
    • Your Alliance Level toward that Star Lord (left side of the symbol).
    • The Star Lord's Alliance Level toward you (right side of the symbol.)

(I have a Formal Alliance with Organism, and he has one with me.)

  • To set an Alliance Level, click one of the buttons below the list.

Alliance Levels

  • None - Select this Alliance Level to break an existing Alliance.
  • Friendly - Your StarShips will not automatically attack this Star Lord's StarShips.
    • This affects WarShip-style StarShips' attack adjacent mode ...
    • as well as StarTillery, ParalyShips, and other StarShips that can attack at a distance.
    • You can still manually target an ally's StarShips and attack them.
  • Intelligence - You share your visibility with the Star Lord.  What you see, they can see.
  • Formal - Allows you to share victories with the Star Lord.
  • Alliance Levels lower down on the scale automatically include the characteristics of the Alliance Levels above them.  For example, Intelligence Level also prevents your StarShips from automatically attacking the ally, like Friendly Level.
