An alliance is formed when you and they both have offered it (allies add command). Even when no privileges (levels) have been offered yet, this has the following effects:

  • Neither you nor they will receive build points nor experience when you fight each other.
  • You don't get build points for damaging their ships with a Glory Device.
  • You don't get build points for pillaging or RGA'ing their planets.
  • You don't get build points for ground attacking them, nor for doing Imperial Assault to their planets.
  • You don't get build points for boarding one of their ships.

These rules are intended to prevent people from teaming up to generate build points by "trading" ships or planets back and forth.

Some configuration restrictions also depend on the presence of an alliance. For example, with CPEnableGive set to Allies, players can only give ships and planets to their alies.

This is a testing version.
It may be incomplete, and have more bugs (or features) than the public live version at planetscentral.com.
