Protection Protections are given to players in order to protect them. This occurs to ensure fair play, and that helpless players will not be attacked. There are two types of protection in this game, one is the Newbie Protection and the other is the Damage Protection. Newbie Protection Each player who is below 5,000 Pr will be under Newbie protection. No one can attack those under newbie protection under normal circumstances with the exception of some special projects. Some projects built by the player may disable newbie protection from taking effect. Damage Protection (DP) Once a player suffers tremendous amount of losses this empire will be placed under DP (in-game icon is  ). A player can get minimum of 4 to 8 attacks before dropping into DP. If the percentage amount of Pr loss per attack is very little then the number of hits to qualify for DP will increase. DP given is in a length of time, in which the player can not be attacked during this protection period. DP can expire, the length of protection will be determined by the game speed. The slower the game speed the longer the protection period. DP will be removed if player builds any ship classes (Fighters, Corvette, Frigate, Destroyer, Cruiser, Battleship, Dreadnought, Juggernaught and Special) except Starbase and Scout or launches any attacks. Advanced DP calculations (Newbies please skip this) Each player will be allocated 8 DP tokens once their out of DP. This token will determine how many attacks are required to send the player (defender) into DP again. If an empire (defender) is being attacked, DP token will be deducted depending on the following rules until 0 DP token remain. The rules are o Minus 0 token if defender lost less than 2% of ship Pr.DP token reset will occur if defender attack other empires or retaliate the attackers. Fortunately it doesn't apply to building ships if defender already out of DP. Example: Defender has 8 DP tokens and was attacked. Due to the attack, defender lost more than 5% of ship Pr resulted minus 2 DP tokens. Right now, defender only left with 6 DP tokens and estimated 3 attacks may send him into DP. If defender retaliate the attacker at any time before DP tokens run out, defender total DP token will reset to 8 DP tokens again.DP token is not related to winning or losing battle. It is to determine how many attacks are required to get yourself into DP. If your defense is very powerful and attackers always failed in their attacks, DP tokens will still be deducted from your empire. The DP refreshes every 1 to 5 minutes. When an empire's DP runs out, there may be an additional few minutes worth of DP before the system refreshes and move the effected empire out of DP. Pr Change during Attack Sometimes when you try to attack someone else you may see a message saying `Target Pr changed!`. This means someone else may have attacked this person, or this person have attacked someone before your fleet reach this person empire. If this happens try clicking on `Try attack again`. You will not be able to attack this person if this person empire has fallen into DP.  Back to Attacking |
