2. Resource Production: This is the investment of points in a 5:1 ratio to a total of points you will recieve per month.

-Each planet holds one Industrial Sector, and each Industrial sector can hold 1 of each of these Factory types. Resource Production comes automaticaly with a planet, but mech production has to be invested into and then built.

-Automation should have a DB that can hold up to 1500 players

-Battle Procedure

1.As soon as groups are on the server, they must pick a results coordinator. The results coordinator from both sides is to IMMEDIATELY create a kali room called (UnitA/UnitB)-results[ex: GDC/MG-Results]. In the case where more than one group fight on the same side, all groups for that side are treated as a single group. The person to lead each of the sides should be determined before the battle. Mechs should be assigned to people so they can drop. The results coordinators should both do '/time' on kali to get the current time. Add two and a half hours(for stop time) and there will be no new drops after that time. Three hours after that time will be the deadline for the battle(all drop scores should be in and tallyed up).

As soon as mechs are assigned, the players can proceed to the drop room. Drop rooms should be named Drop01, Drop02, Drop11, ect. Both alliances should be sending their players as quickly as possible to the drop rooms. No excuses. No Delays!!

2.Once players get to their drop rooms they are to note who they are fighting, and it is up to each PLAYER to use the MECH they were ASSIGNED. Then the players drop on whatever battle server the choose, and do the fight. Remaining players from the larger group should wait all together in a single large room called 'drops' and hang out there and waiting for those returning from previous drops after sending in results.

All drops are 2 players versus 2 players with each player getting 2 regen(3 mechs total). Less regens should only be used when there are not enough mechs of that type to use for a drop. Groups are expected to use ALL players and to rotate all of them equally regardless of skill.

3.The current results coordinator must stay in the results room at all times. If a results coordinator must leave for any reason or wish to play, it is imperative that they find someone to take their place. Anyone from the group with appropriate security clearance can be picked to be the results coordinator. Note: to fill out results for an ally requires that the ally allow this in their Friends or Foe settings. All that is required for a battle to continue is results processors for both alliances.

4.Whenever drops finish, the players go to the results room and state their results with both sides confirming them. If there are any problems, they are resolved immediately. For the drop, the players state what group they were from or fighting for and their losses. These losses are removed from the appropriate group. Please use the following format so that it is consistent and results can be processed more quickly. Where it says losses you put either'+#' for surviving mechs or '-#' for destroyed mechs.

Example:

Then one member from each side of the drop confirmes that, and the pilots proceed to the 'drops' room to find another match(During this time results coordinators from both sides should take note of those scores).

As soon as the results coordinators have results for a drop, they should be entered into the automation as skirmish results. Up to 5 skirmish results can be entered at a time. Once one of the results processors submits the results, the other processor can go into the automation and confirm those results. Once the results have been confirmed, the losses will be subtracted from the military item totals for that battle(losses will be subtracted from the amount of mechs in that sector). This allows everyone to keep tabs on how things are progressing. It is advised that Results processors keep track of all results until they get processed.

5.As soon as results are taken and the results processors state they are free to leave, players should go ahead and do another drop. Players from the smaller group go ahead and join the 'drops' rooms and drop with the two people that have been waiting the longest. There is a 45 minute time limit. If the match hits 45 minutes then the drop is over, and any kills should be reported as is, in results. If there were no kills on either side, this should still be reported so that players aren't disqualified for the count. At 2.5 hours into the battle, there should be no further new drops. At this time, those in the drops room should be notified that there are no new drops. This is to guarentee that all drops finish within the time limit. So the battle really runs out when all drops return which can be less than 3 hours, depending on timing.

6.The players continue to cycle through drops until one alliance runs out of mechs, a time limit for the entire battle of 3 hours has been reached, or all groups in an alliance decide to retreat. At that point the results coordinators verify that fact and take note of the time. In the case of retreat or encountering the battle time limit, the results are accepted and input. Any results after that are NOT COUNTED.

7.Note that in cases where an ally did not give the group the results processor access in the friends or foe settings, someone from that team should be contacted to input the results that need to be input for that team. At this point or at a later time, groups can post a 'complete battle set' form. Once that is done and the opponents confirm, the computer does the endmatch calculations below and the battle is resolved.

8.The battle is over.
