FEDERATION DETAILS

 
What is it ?
 
A federation comprises a group of empires which share a common goal.
Thus, a federation works together as a team. Members of a federation
are supposed to follow the guidelines set by the federation leader.
Playing as a team is a very important part of a cohesive federation.
Players who prefer not to work as a team should not join a federation.
Declaration of War and Declaration of Alliance can only be issued by
the federation leader.

Why do you need a federation?
 
Fighting by it-self, won’t get many new players any where. Many new players
go into debt during a war with another empire. By joining a good federation,
new players can learn from the veterans. Economic aid can not be granted to
the player. Sharing of information is more effective. If a member is attacked,
he/she can alert the rest of the federation members what type of ships and how
many ships the attacker used. The other members can then build the necessary
ships to retaliate against the attacker. With proper information, the attack
may be more successful. Mentoring can also happen in a federation. A more
experienced player may “take the newbie under his/her wing”. The learning
curve of a newbie would then be very steep. Later, that newbie can mentor
his/her own newbie. Stronger members of the federation can act as protector
for the weaker members by attacking empires that attack the weaker member.
This will give the weaker member a chance to build up his/her strength to
survive.

Voting
 
Federation members may vote for a new leader. It is not a good idea to remove
a good leader and replace him/her with someone who isn’t so good. If the leader
takes care of the members, then, he/she is doing the job of a leader.If the
leader does not approve or reject membership applications without good reason
for too long time, perhaps, it’s time to remove the leader. If the leader doesn’t
take part in discussions with the members, he/she is not doing his/her job as a
leader. Maybe it’s time for a new leader. Voting a leader out is easier. But,
getting a good leader is going to be tough. So, use your votes wisely. Voting
is done according to the number of planets. If you have10 planets, then, you
have 10 votes. To vote a leader out, you will need to have over 50% of the votes.
