Rules

The following rules have been implemented in Starfleet Commander. Failure to comply will result in punitive action, including confiscation of ships, resources, research/building levels, or even total banning from the game at Blue Frog Gaming's sole discretion.

Please note that these rules are not official and may be out of date. Official rules are found via the rules link at the bottom of the Starfleet Commander application.

Trading

When trading resources you must use the following ratios:

Resources	Max Ratio	Min Ratio
Ore to Hydrogen	3:1	2:1
Ore to Crystal	2:1	1.5:1
Crystal to Hydrogen	2:1	1:1

Pulling

Sending resources to a lower ranked player is allowed. Thus in a trade, the higher ranked player may give more resources for a trade than allowed by the trade ratio, however the lower ranked player may not. So for instance, the higher ranked player could give the lower ranked player 4 ore for 1 hydrogen.

Pushing

You cannot send resources to a player ranked higher than you. Trading is allowed, but the trade must follow standard ratios and must be completed by both parties within 24 hours.

Spamming

You may not advertise any product or service in game. You may also not mass-message users with your crew links, alliance requests, or anything else.

Verbal Abuse

Conversation must be civil. Verbal abuse in messaging, even private messages, will not be tolerated.

Extortion

It is illegal to request or send payment of any sort for withholding or canceling attacks.

Botting

Players may not use any sort of automated script or program to run missions or perform any other in-game actions.

Bug Exploitation

Players may not abuse any bug found in the game for profit and are expected to report any bugs they find to support immediately.

Multiple Accounts

Players are only allowed one account per Universe.

One Player Per Account

Each account may be accessed by only one player.

Bashing

Attacking the same planet more than 6 times in a 24 hour period with cargos and/or fighters is considered bashing and is banned. Attacks with espionage probes do not count toward the limit. The exception is if both players or their alliances have formally declared war upon each other, then there is no limit.

Harassment

It is illegal to harass other players, either through verbal messages or in-game actions including (but not limited to) sending repeated attacks or excessively slow attacks for no purpose other than to generate notifications, excessive pointless espionaging, etc.
