Scott has been doing some excellent work, and he’s put together fleets of ships! A fleet is a set of ships that will fly together in formation, and generally look out for eachother. Firing on one ship in a fleet will get the whole group angry at you.

Here we’ve got a 3 fleets on screen, and the player (the green triangle) has a few escorts. Already some of the independent traders have been engaged by another group- probably pirates. The IFF system colors them yellow, since neither party is hostile to the player yet.

We’ll have more information about the faction system in our next post!
