I assume the Energy attribute is the one that affects speed? My ship is known for being fast more than anything else.

The Energy attribute, added to the dice roll, indicates the number of actions available each turn. A ship with high Energy will be more maneuverable and thus faster, but will be weaker on other aspects.

How does such a thing work, exactly?

Can you rephrase your question?

I think Kellner was asking how does the "EMP Shielding" on Iovai ship work.

**Neoteny**

It was easy enough to catch despite that little factor, Iovai.

The Saltpillar is registered, and will be going after any and all Cypherite ships, but will also engage any other hostiles who initiate combat.

**Yasamuu**

HvCFT Chaos registered and ready for battle.

((Ugh at my choice of crew name when creating the crew long ago :p))

**Fen**

Hey Vogt, what about captains that are registered on more than one instance, such as myself and Yasamuu? I registered under Recursion, but I'm on Syntax as well.

You will have to register under 2 instances, or focus on a single one.

((In simplest terms;

Copper. Lots of copper. But it's really not of consequence now that Dr. Foxo's on the Transom. It wouldn't be efficient to EMP-proof the Transom, because it would increase the weight by several tons. Besides, Trace is already a lousy driver. We don't need the extra weight confusing him.))

In a very close future, operatives will have to register to scheduled battles in advance via the website. For now, this section of the website isn't finished. The first official battle is however scheduled:

Instance: Syntax
Organizations : EPN vs Machines
Number of Ships : 3/side max
Scenario : Pitched Battle
Time : Tuesday September 11, 5 PM MCT (5 PST, 8 EST, 12 GMT)

This battle, like any official battle, will contribute to get points for the ranking system. The details about their implementation will also be posted soon.

Ships interested in taking part in this battle should announce it here. The first 3 registered ships on each side will be required to present in the Matrix at the set time.

((Just to be certain - what are the penalties for loosing a non-simulated battle?))

Vogt

There are no penalties. Here are how experience points are awarded:

1 point for participating in the battle
1 point for being on the winning side
1 point for surviving the battle

**Mathalos**

HvCFT Mambo - Machines would like to participate in this battle.

**Ballak**

The HvCFT Galidus will be allying with HvCFT Mambo for this fight, Vogt.

Vogt

If no EPN ship is registered at the time of the battle, it will be an instant win for the Machines, and thus, free experience points.
