Do I get XPs, if I kill ships of an Alliance member?

No! Your people become so depressed after realising that they have killed friendly pilots, that their experience will not grow in a positive way...
(maybe one should even subtract those XPs ^^)
((this is mainly to prevent abusing FF))

What is the Embassy Ship for?

The Embassy Ship is brand new ship type :-)
You need it to found or become member of an Alliance...

[edit] Does Population growth get restricted by Sociology level? Yes, population growth is restricted by social level. [edit] If so, then at what pop level does this take effect? How it takes effect you can see in the table on the right side. It continues tha same way... [edit] Does the Pop of Mr. Unknown grow? Yes, to be unknown, does not mean, that one is dead. So the Population on unknown planets will also grow. Later unknown planets shall become even more active, i.e. trying to defend themselves...

Sociology level Population limit Sociology level Population limit 0 5 12 12 2 6 13 13 4 7 14 14 6 8 15 15 8 9 16 16 10 10 17 17 11 11 18 18

How do I start making some Money in the game?

• By using the spend all button in the planets-overview screen.
  • First you have to select the planets, from which you want to spend you BPs, by selecting the appropriate checkbox in the 'SA' column, then press the spend all button. Be aware, that on every selected planet you will spend all BPs..!!
• alternatively you can also sell your Space Debris, as soon you got some (after a successful battle)....

If a Player is dismissed from an Alliance with the 'permission' to join another Alliance later, can he re-join the original Alliance?

No, this is not possible anymore, becaused it could be abused for FF.

Is there also an Auto Growth in this game like in AW?

Yes, there is also a Spontaneous Growth. It takes place at 4 a.m. CET. If you have at least one planet with Population more than 6 level lower than your Sociology, one of these planets will grow spontaneously by one level.

After a battle, is the fleet size only reported if I win?

The size of your opponent's fleet, i.e. the Battle Report, is only shown, if your troops were able to count the ships of your opponent, which they only manage to do if they have more then 0 (zero) percent chance to win.

Why does the population increase, after I arrive on a planet of an inactive/unknown player?

Always when a fleet arrives on a planet, every affected player (up to three) will be updated. This includes your own update of e.g. the culture level, which there makes it unnecessary to 'validate' your culture. On the other hand, the pop of the planet-owner might always grow... also in the case of an active player, so always take enough TRs with you!
