The image above shows a home system for a new player in the middle, the perimeter that marks the edge of the newbie protected zone and an NPC guard fleet in pursuit of a non-friendly fleet that has entered.
How it works
- 3 NPC guard fleets patrol and defend the zone
- Any non-friendly (no treaty, not in the same alliance) player fleets are automatically pursued and attacked (pirate fleets are ignored)
- The guard fleets are very fast and powerful, but if a guard fleet is destroyed a replacement guard fleet will spawn
- Once the player's newbie protection period ends the newbie protected zone and guard fleets will vanish
- If a non-friendly fleet does manage to reach the home planet there is an additional layer of protection
Visibility
- Newbie protected zones are visible from the star map
- Your own newbie protected zone is white/blue and other player's are red
- Hovering the border of a newbie protected zone will reveal the protected player's name (you can contact them with a private message)
Newbie protection period
The newbie protected zone and NPC guard fleets last as long as the newbie protection period for that galaxy:
- 1x speed galaxies: N/A
- 10x speed galaxies: 5 days
Note: newbie protected zones were added for the new 10x galaxy only, but will likely be included to some degree in all future galaxies.
Spawn codes
- Players that spawn in with a spawn code will not get their own protected zone. But if the friend that invited them still has a protected zone and they spawn within it they will also be protected in that zone because of their treaty with each other
- This is to prevent spawn codes from being used to tactically deploy a newbie protected zone over an enemy's territory and have the NPC guard fleets attack them!
