Rules
No Cheating, Hacking or Exploiting
If you are found cheating, hacking or exploiting a bug, you are likely to be banished from the server. We have an active server manager that has cheating detection algorithms.
Communications (Text or Voice)
No spam, racism, sexism, slurs, excessive cursing, hate speech, advertising. First offenders found in violation of this rule will be warned or immediately banished depending on severity of the violation. Repeated offenders will be banned. You are free to appeal the descison in Discord, or via a Support ticket.
No Trolling or Griefing
Do not intentionally harm other players. This can mean ammo draining, Offline Protection abuse, griefing, warp camping, or impersonating other players or admins.
If you are not sure what all of this means ask the admins.
Reporting Violations
Please report any violations publicly in Discord, or submit a support ticket at MastersOfChaosGaming.com/Support
We will help as well as we can, but we need you to help us by providing the following information.
- Provide your location (Sector/Playfield)
- Your in-game name / faction tag
- If your location details are needed, type "di" in console to get it
- If structure id is needed, type "di" in console to get it
- Please provide needed general details like time, context, etc.
Wipes
We do not enjoy making everyone restart and aim to wipe as little as possible. Wipes should only happen when mandatory by Elion or if required due to unrepairable server malfunction.
Building Rules
ALL structures must be named, or they may be removed from the game by Admins.
A structure includes: Bases, Orbital Bases, SV's, HV's and CV's
No compensation will be offered if your structure is removed because of this.
NOTE: A structure with a default name that is in a faction, and is still not named, may be removed under this rule.
REASON - On occasion structures can disappear through game crashes or bugs, the only chance an admin has to find these for you is if they are named something other than the default name. It is also possible for too many structures in an area to cause issues, and any that are deemed unnecessary/unnamed may be removed to improve playfield performance.
It is NOT Recommended that POI's be used as a base.
POI's are regularly reset so that resources and elite loot can be repleneshied. If this occurs and it was your base, you will lose the base and all resources stored in it. You will not be compensated for your loss.
Use a POI as your base AT YOUR OWN RISK.
No blocking Warp Zones
Any entity (SV, CV, Orbital Base) parked within a warp zone that causes issues for other players (eg: loss of their entering CV, fusing of their CV to another entity, etc) will have that entity deleted along with any contents of the entity.
When you warp into any system simply move away from the landing location to ensure it is clear for other vessels entering the same system.
Leaving items in the warp landing zone will cause other players to lose their own CV's/SV's, as well as making the player become stuck in whatever item they fuse with. This results in them needing to wait for the assistance of an Admin to fix the issue before they can resume gameplay.
Any player who loses their entity due to violation of this rule, will not be compensated for their loss.
Entities left behind by inactive players may be removed at admin discretion.
If you are sharing a base/CV/SV/HV with a player who is no longer visiting the server, please ensure that the ownership is set correctly so it is not deemed inactive. We may be able to recover these entities if needed for a short time after deletion, but no guarantees are made.

- Do not prevent others from accessing POI's.
