Enter Triarii Guard.




One of the challenges in developing a free form game like this is creating a challenge for all level of players. The Noobs need somewhere they can learn.. The more advanced players need somewhere they can shoot it out.. Conquer and rule.

We always knew how we would do it, but didn’t know when
In our first pass at noob protection, we made law abiding planets aggressive. .that is now removed, and replaced with the Triarian Guard..

Basically, in the starting, center sector, if you try shooting someone else, the guard won’t like you.. tell you so, and give you a warning.. If you decide (foolishly) to proceed with your attack.. the Guard will do a number on your ship. Not pod you, but cripple it, and render it harmless..

Of course, there’s plenty of space where the guard don’t show up.. to see where the guard are known to operate, open options, show space controlled by Governments.. anywhere in green, is a no shooting zone!

And who are the guard?
One of the last Functioning remnants of the great empire, the Triarian Vexil was the preferred ship of the Triarian Guard. These ships keep the peace and protect the space that was once known as empire. Not a ship worth crossing
The Vexil is pictured here
