Basics

Unit Movement and Orders:

To select a unit to move, left click on it or hold left mouse button, drag a box over it and release the button. Alternately, you can use the Keyboard Controls as listed in the previous section.

Once a unit is selected, right click anywhere in the current environment to issue a move order. To move units into space press backspace once, then right click in space. To move units from space to a planet, left click on the planet once then right click anywhere on the map.

Engineer hulls have the ability to repair and dismantle. This option is located to the right of the Orders tab. To repair a unit’s engine, left click on the wrench symbol, and right click on the target unit. To dismantle, left click the dynamite symbol, and then right click on the target you want to dismantle.

Units also have an Orders tab that shows the different Artificial Intelligence (AI) settings for units and a button that goes to the Route window. The AI orders allow you to set up targeting preferences, engagement patterns, combat tactics, and allows fighters to target components.

Setting up chat tabs

1. Hit the plus sign in the upper right corner of the chat window.
2. A window will open which says “New Tab” double click on that field.
3. Rename the tab to a name of your choice, for instance Guild or Private Messages.
4. Check the filters you would like to receive messages from.
5. In the channel messages box type the channel name for the channel you want (Ex: Guild).
6. In the default message pre-fix box type the command you want to default to, for instance /guild would allow you to send messages to the guild when typing into the command prompt with no prefix.

Aliasing

Aliasing is a powerful tool only found in Beyond Protocol™. This tool can allow two or more people to control one account at the same time. You will find this system speeds up not only base development, but also military scenarios. With this tool and the right amount of units, you can battle on multiple fronts at the same time. You have control of how much access to your account is granted to an alias. This helps ensure only the most trustworthy of people get everything.

To set up an Alias:

1. Open your Control menu by pressing ESC
2. Click on the “Create Alias” button
3. In the User Name section type in the player’s in-game name as it is shown in your diplomacy window
4. Choose the rights you want to give this player. Give as little or as much as you want.
5. Save the settings. An in-game e-mail will be sent to them letting them know that they now have an alias for your account.
