STFC RoE

Rules of Engagement (ROE):

1: Survey ships are protected under Rules Of Engagement (ROE) and are not to be attacked, unless:

I) The protected cargo limit is exceeded,

II) The mine they are on is an empty mine (A 0 node message must be sent after the node has reached 0 but before any attack)

III) When participating in a base raid.

IV) It is a “Botany Bay” or “D’vor” that is mining a 3* mine or Isogen.

2: Any ship participating in an “Armada” is not to be attacked.

3. All other ships are NOT protected.

Swarm Systems

Swarm systems are to be considered neutral ground. Players may not attack other players in these systems.

Base Raids

Base raids are acceptable, but must ALWAYS be authorised by at least one Commodore. See the seperate guide on raiding for more information

War Declarations:

These can only be made by an Admiral (minimum alliance members of 10) and must be backed up by another member of that alliance.

Solo players making war declarations are considered to be in a “rogue” state and will gain immediate KOS status.

Note: any players or alliances deemed as Kill on Sight (KoS) forfeit the right of protection under the above rules for their actions against these rules.
