Teams and Squads

Teams (limited to max persons on frequency)

When you first enter a SubSpace arena, you are place on a frequency (or Ghz). Everyone else on that same Ghz is on your team. Your team radio and weapons operate on this frequency which means when you send a team message, only your teammates will see it. This also means that your bullets will not hurt teammates and teammates will not cause the detonation of bombs or mines (**beware: bomb blasts, not the shrapnel, from bombs exploding against walls will still hurt you and your teammates if you are in range of the blast). You can change you frequency in the game by typing =XXXX (where XXXX is a number from 1-9999) when you have full energy.

EXAMPLE OF A TEAM

Items in colored italics are ACTUAL key presses

Luxor and Marx are playing in the game. Luxor send a private message to MARX (selecting Marx in the player dialogue box using PGUP & PGDN keys)
/Hi Marx wanna team up?

Marx then selects Luxor and send back the private message.
/Sure, tune freq 555

Luxor and Marx then both type the following
=555

Now on their radar screens BOTH of them have yellow dots. Their weapons cannot hurt each other. They also can broadcast to anyone else in on the same frequency by starting their message with // OR '
//Hey Luxor you hear this?
'Yes Marx lets go!

Now at any time they can invite other people to join their squadron if they wish. The // message type will go to EVERYONE on that frequency so large squadrons are possible. ENJOY!

Squads (unlimited membership)

You can join a squad if you get the password from squad member or you can create your own squad a recruit pilots to fill out your ranks. Squads differ from teams in that squad members can fight against each other if they are on different frequencies. Squad members can even be in different sub-arenas racking up points for their squad scores. There is no "Squad Radio" but you can use the ?chat = [name] command.
