    Hello Space Pilots!


    The new SpaceInvasion Mentoring Program for alliances is available with today’s patch. What benefits you and new players can expect from it, we explain you in the following.


    How does the mentoring program work?
    The alliance can recruit players as usual or through the new mentor search. Players with less than 10 million points in your alliance are called "rookie". All players with 10 million points or more are "mentors".
    These rookies can get you "stars". You just have to support them to become "big". You will receive stars for:

    • each 10,000 points that the rookie reaches

      • The value obtained depends on the points. Up to 1 million points, the alliance receives 1 star, from 1 million to 2 million 2, up to 3 million 3, etc.
    • The alliance receives additional 500 stars for each 1 million points

    A rookie can thus earn from 0 points to 10 million points "stars" for the alliance in which he is.
    Please note that you can only earn new stars for points you have not already reached. This means that you will have to recover the lost points again.


    What can I do with the stars?
    First, the resulting sum of stars is a new ranking category. So everyone can see how much the alliance is supporting new players.
    But you can get bonuses with these stars as well. We will give you a detailed description of what you can earn. Unlocking is done by the alliance administrators. So you are thus given the opportunity to start alliance-internal events!

    • Production increases (can be activated only once, but all 3 run in parallel - thus up to 30% maximum) - Multiple activations of a package extend the runtime.

      • Get + 5% more production for 24h: 50 points
      • Get + 10% more production for 24h: 100 points
      • Get + 15% more production for 24h: 150 points
    • Research reduction for 4h: 100 points (NO reduction of urplasma extraction or data disc reconstruction)

    (These bonuses refer, of course, to all members in the Alliance who are members since at least 7 days or if the member is registered for less than 7 days)


    How does a player find my mentoring alliance?
    If the player is not in any alliance, he will see a list of all the alliances participating in the Mentoring Program below the form for creating a new alliance or joining an existing alliance.
    Here the player can filter by language(s), which the Allianz administration can specify in advance. This new language indicator is now listed on your Alliance profile.
    This list can be sorted by "sum of stars" (as in the ranking), "number of mentors", "number of rookies" and "total points of the alliance".
    What is new is that the player can apply for several mentor alliances at the same time. No application text is required for this. The player can connect to your alliance as soon as possible and enter SpaceInvasion directly with your help!


    What is the purpose of the mentoring program?
    We want to promote the Alliance life and grant you bonuses when you invest time in new players. What we clearly DO NOT want is that alliances are aimed at breeding small accounts with the speed-up system to get points so quickly. We also do not want to promote multi accounts.
    “Alliance hopping” we want to prevent by a bonus only available for players that have been in an alliance for a minumum of 7 days, or players registered less than 7 days in the game.
    We shall observe the extent to which "mass" alliances arise. We want alliances not to play "only" in small circles; but we do not want to force you to take masses of new players.
    If we suspect that an alliance wants to exploit the system strategically without a useful benefit for SpaceInvasion or the community, we will permanently exclude this alliance from the alliance Mentoring Program. In special cases penalties for individual players may apply.
    We will monitor this system critically and, if necessary, deactivate it again.


    We invite you to talk about this feature in the discussion area:

    We wish you lots of fun and success with our newcomers :)
