We encourage people to try a free
account. Free accounts can not design ships, and the crew's can not gain
experience, but they can still play. You can keep a free account for as long as
you like, and are never required to upgrade to pay

If I fail to pay, or change the
status of my account, what happens?
Most accounts have a 60 day hold
period. If you downgrade your account to free, or if you fail to make a payment
(in which case you'll be automatically downgraded), you will be unable to access
your pay crews and ships. However they will remain on the server for 60-90 days,
and will be reactivated should you re-instate your pay privileges. Otherwise,
you can continue to play as a free account to your hearts content.

When are accounts deleted?
Pay accounts are never deleted unless
there is a code of conduct violation.
Free accounts must be used once every
60 days, or else they are deleted. You will receive an email message before the
deletion, reminding you to log in to refresh your account.
You can also choose to delete your
own account at any time. If you do, your account will remain on our server for
30 days in case you change your mind.
All of these guidelines are subject
to change at any time, without notice.

Which skills are most important?
It depends on your style of play. If
you like to go head first into combat, then you should make sure you have high
Tactics and Weapons skills. If you prefer to direct the actions of your crew,
Sensors and Communications are a must.
All the skills are important, but how
much you rely on certain skills depends on your play style.

Yes. Calculations
for all skills are very precise. Improvements of any degree, even as small (or
smaller) than
0.001 are possible and do in fact help.
