Official FreeStar Universe Code of Conduct
1. Accounts and Ownership
The account owner is the individual who holds access to the registered email address. Universe accounts may only be transferred with prior Game Operator approval.
2. Multi-Accounts and Shared IPs
Each player is allowed only one account per universe. Logging in from a shared internet connection (same IP) must be reported to the Game Operator via Support in advance.
3. Account Sitting
Account sitting by another player is strictly permitted only after prior notification to the Game Operator. The sitter cannot perform offensive fleet actions (attacks, moon destructions, ACS) nor transfer resources to foreign planets. Only defensive maneuvers (fleet saving) and infrastructure upgrades are permitted.
4. Combat Rules, Bashing, and Missions
Bashing Limit: Maximum of 21 attacks per player account and 6 attacks on a single celestial body (planet or moon) within 24 hours. Violations are automatically blocked by the system.
War Exception: During an official active Alliance War, the Bashing rule is completely LIFTED between members of opposing warring alliances.
Espionage Probes: Attacking solely with espionage probes is technically disabled by the engine.
Alliance Attacks & Moon Attempts: Alliance members cannot attack each other. The only exception is Moon Attempts — the system permits attacking an ally using Light Fighters exclusively up to a maximum of 10,000 units.
Flight Time & Spam: Maximum one-way fleet flight time to another player's coordinates is 3 hours. Sending waves of single ships to harass or intentionally prevent vacation mode activation is strictly prohibited.
5. Novice Protection (Weak / Strong Ratio)
Players under 5,000 points are in the Novice Zone and cannot attack or be attacked by established empires. For other players, a dynamic 5:1 ratio applies (no attacks on players 5x weaker or stronger). Protection is deactivated for inactive players (i/I) and during Alliance Wars.
6. Pushing and Resource Transfers
Gaining unfair resource advantages from lower-ranked accounts is strictly forbidden. Direct resource shipments to another player are limited to 1 mission per day and are only allowed from a higher-ranked to a lower-ranked player. The sole exception for sending resources to a stronger player is returning recycled debris after a joint ACS battle.
7. Game Bugs & Automation (Bots & Exploits)
Using third-party automation tools (bots, macros, clickers, automated fleet scripts) or deliberately concealing and exploiting bugs will result in an immediate permanent account ban.
8. Communication, Chat, and Safety
Real-life threats, stalking, blackmail, and hate speech regarding race, religion, or orientation are strictly prohibited. Inappropriate or vulgar behavior in global chat, battle reports, or planet names will be penalized with communication mutes or account suspensions.
9. Vacation Mode and Inactivity
The maximum continuous duration in vacation mode is 30 days. Accounts inactive for more than 75 days enter the purging cycle, and after 120 days they are permanently deleted from the universe database.
