    Station Assault Game:
    This game is similar to a class based team fortress game, but it allows for an uneven number of players on the teams because the defenders have some additional bot support when things get hot for them.
    The objective is to destroy (defend) the Imperial facility for the duration of a 30 minute Rebel attack.
    Your first strategic choice is to determine which type of ship (class) you wish to Pilot. Available are: fighters, Bombers and CUV support vessels

    Game Type:
    Team.Assault
    1 – 12 Players
    Map Size 80 km diameter

    Scoring, Rules, Tactic :

    Rules:

    First team to get 150 points wins the game. If no team achieves 150 points within 30 minutes the Imps have successfully stopped the attack

    Frag Points:
    Imperial Facility:
    Beta TF Base 40 Pts.
    Beta HQ 60 Pts.
    Beta Missile Factory 20 Pts.
    Beta Weapons Factory 20 Pts.
    Guard Bot 2 Pts

    Black Bone Base (Rebels) 150 Pts

    In order to win the game as a rebel you will have to accumulate at least 10 points by fragging other player or Bot ships in addition to destroying all 4 stations. As a defender you would only have to destroy the Rebel Base but you’ll probably have your hands full defending. The Imperials win if the rebels have less than 150 points after 30 minutes.

    To reload your ships ammo based weapons or re-stock your missile launchers dock at the Beta
    TF Base (Imps), or at the Black Bone Base (Rebels). Use the Autopilot (F8) to dock.

    A Guard Bot will launch from the Imperial TF Base to provide additional protection whenever an enemy player gets within15 km distance. (only one Bot is launched per minute)

    The Rebel Base and the 4 beta Stations have weapon turrets with a range of 15 km and PDTs (Anti-missile turrets) with a range of approximately 9 km.

    Tactics and Notes:

    The CUV is not a good selection for the defending team if you are outnumbered due to its lack of dog fighting capability. It is good support for the Rebel team but you shouldn’t deploy the 8ty8 Gunstars too close to your base. They may damage it when they explode!

    The Asteroids and junk around the imperial facility provide excellent cover for attacking B-Wing bombers!

    It is not easy to destroy the Rebel base because the inky black vortex around it impairs an attackers vision totally. Rebels can rely on their Autopilot to dock there for repairs and to re-load ammo.

    Note: A ships “target assistant� automatically calculates the middle of a selected target. There may however not be any hull structure at the “middle� of a station or base. Use your zoom (the games default key is Y) to see if your weapon is actually aimed at your targets hull. If not, position your ship to get some of the stations hull structure between you and the aim point.

    Client Settings
    Select a ship by clicking on it, the docs for the chosen ship will be displayed. After you’ve decided which ship to use click the ready button. Press the button “Internet Game� to reach the in-game browser. Click on the game / server you wish to join. The appropriate map will automatically load and be interrupted by a team selection screen.
    Press the button for the team you wish to join (Imperials / Rebels). After a few moments you will join the game at a point close to your base.

    Server Settings:
    After you’ve selected a ship, click the host session button. The game time is set per script default at 30 min and the point limit to win the game is 150 points. You can set the point limit value higher ( but not lower). You can reduce the time limit down to 20 minutes if you want to have the game end sooner or set a longer game time. Click the AI/Bots Settings button to input if you want to play with bots, their skill level and if they should be replaced by players or not. Go back one screen (right click) and then press start.

    Team information:

    We recommend using the Gamespy chat room to agree on teams and ships before joining a game. You can also see who is playing where and on what team in the Gamespy server browser as well as the scores achieved in a game that may have already started.
    To join a game however, please use the in-game browser:
    Otherwise you won’t be able to select the ship of your choice.

    Edit: corrected the typo for the Guard bots points (it was 12). should only be 2 points. /edit
