Welcome to the game Azurerath.

1: During combat the attackers and the defenders take turns in firing at each other spread throughout 6 rounds of combat. At the end of 6 rounds, if the attackers are destroyed completely the defender wins, if the defender is destroyed completely the attacker wins and gains access to combat spoils. If there are survivors on both sides after 6 rounds, the attackers will withdraw to their point of origin. When fighting the ships/defenses will randomly choose a target to receive the damage, later on in the game this will be affected by Rapid Fire. There are other topics on Rapid Fire if you wish to know more.

2: When you are in an alliance you gain no physical benefits at the current time apart from having a friendly group of players beside you. You will be able to, when it is introduced, utilize the Alliance Combat System. There are more topics on this if you wish to know more. You will also gain the alliances tag.

3: When you are in vacation mode you will gain no resources, cannot send fleet missions and will be immune to attack yourself.

4: If you gain access to the planets resources the way you receive them is as follows. Your cargo space will be filled up with the defenders Metal until it has half the cargo space it previously had remaining. It will then fill up with the defenders Crystal until it has half of the space left after the Metal was taken, so a quarter of the original cargo space. The remaining space will be filled with the defenders Deuterium. Note that you cannot loot more than half of the defenders total resources and so this will affect the way your cargo space is filled.

5: The limit on attacking is 5 times per planet per day. This is known as the Bashing Rule and you can view this in several other topics if you wish to know more. Violation of the Bashing Ruled will result in a warning and possibly even a permanent ban.

I hope this will help you.

New to the game here, and i was wondering....what do you have to do to build a lunar base? i didn't see any prerequisited, but seem to be unable to send cargo ships (et all)to my moon

1) there is no top for sure, but you can get some huggge planets, some people even boast that they have 1 with 500 fields.
2) yes, they do increase the size but not by much only like 5-10 fields i think. not the best investment for the beggining of the game, better to just ditch a low field planet and search for one with many more fields.
3)I believe they are the "absorb" part of the battle reports, they absorb they damage b4 the structure is attacked. I am not positive however.
4)You can only have 1 large, and 1 small shield domes on a planet so your question is void lol now if you are wondering if the small and large domes stack together then, i believe no, becuase you can lose 1 without losing the other.
5)yes. its a scary thought what rapid fire will add to the game

Moons are formed when a very large debris field is created in a planet's orbit. To do this, a lot of ships or solar satellites need to die. If enough of them do, the resulting debris field (often abbreviated "DF") will have a chance of creating a moon. The maximum chance is 20%.

Moon size is affected by the size of the DF as well, though this can vary. Debris fields are not consumed in the creation of a moon (which will be one of the next questions you ask )

So all you have to do is lose a whole bunch of ships (or, preferably, kill a bunch of someone else's) in the orbit of one of your planets. You don't have a moon right now, is your problem.

Carnage and destruction on a epic scale......got it.....

thanks!
