Training Camp

The training camp is located within the defenses of the Astro base. Here, new Astros are trained and prepared for battle, and seasoned Astros can train to pick up useful traits. Training pods are scattered around the complex, and many Astros are milling about.

Status: Everything is running smoothly

Army and NPC Soldier Training

Here you can train whole armies and specific soldiers. This system is much the same as that of producing vehicles and weapons.

Maximum army size: 300, Minimum Army Size: 50

Army and Soldier Training Guides

To Train an Army:

Select a starting skill level for your army. Currently you may only start with levels 1 and 2. Lower is cheaper, but higher means better stats.
Decide on how many troops you want in your army. Keep in mind that the bigger the size, the more costly the training process and the longer it takes for the troops to be ready. The current maximum and minimum army sizes are given above the training table. Please try to keep army sizes as multiples of 10.
Refer to the Stat Table for Armies below. Use the level you chose to find the appropriate statistics. This will give you "AGL" (Agility) and "SPD" (Speed). For the rest of the stats, multiply the unit stat by the number of troops in your army. This will give you "Total DP," "Total HP," "Total CR," "Total Cost," and the time necessary for you to put in the correct Start and End Date and Times (multiply 10 minutes by 600 troops for total time of 6000 minutes).
Enter your username in the appropriate box.
You should now give your army a name (ex. Battalion 6). Don't use the exact same name as any current army.
After the training cost has been paid and the training time elapsed, the army can be moved to the Astro Barracks. The slot can then be cleared and used again.

Here are some other rules and tips:

You must make sure you have permission from your commanding officer to use this table.
You must pay for the troops before you can use them.
You may not use the troops before the end-date.
The higher level experience ranges can be reached by allowing the appropriate time to pass. Consult the "Level Up" chart.
You may, if you wish, use the "CR" stat to assign weapons produced in the Factory to soldiers in a unit, overriding their base DP. This can be done on the Barracks page.

To Train an NPC Soldier:

Give the soldier a name.
Enter "I" (roman numeral 1) in the "Level" column and enter "1" in the "Number" column (only one named soldier per training slot).
Fill in the chart with the following stats (which are entry level Player stats):

Total DP: 5
Total HP: 25
AGL: 10
CR: 4
SPD: 6

Named soldiers cost $50. Enter this in "Total Cost."
Named soldiers take 1 day to train. Enter the appropriate Start and End Date and Times.
Enter your username in the appropriate box.
After the training cost has been paid and the training time elapsed, the soldier can be moved to the Astro Barracks. The slot can then be cleared and used again.

Here are some other rules and tips:

Named soldiers are NPCs which can be assigned to specific task forces.
Named soldiers use the same rank system as players (can be found below), and can hold traits from the traits table below, just like players.
While they are very similar to players, named soldiers may not hold faction leadership positions.
Named soldiers cannot be "owned." They are under the control of their superior officers.

NPC Army Level Up:

For an army to advance to next level, they must acquire the necessary experience (i.e. to advance from Rank 1 to Rank 2, the army must survive for 1 month. To advance then to rank 3, it must survive for 2 more months). Consult the GM if you have any questions.

Level Experience
5 6 Months from Previous
4 4 Months from Previous
3 2 Months from Previous
2 1 Month from Previous
1 Entry Level

When an army reaches the next level, their stats can be updated according to the Stats Table for Armies.

Named Soldier Ranks:

For a soldier to advance in rank (and to be eligible for certain traits in the "Personal Skills" table), they must acquire the necessary experience (i.e. to advance from Rank I to Rank II, they must be active for 1 month. To advance then to rank III, they must be active for 2 more months). Consult the GM if you have any questions.

Rank Experience
V Prestige Only
IV 6 Months from Previous
III 4 Months from Previous
II 2 Months from Previous
I Entry Level

This table is very similar to the player rank table, however prestige is not accounted for here. The player rank table can be found on the RPG Information page.

If you still have questions after reading this guide, ask your commanding officer or post a question to the GM.

Personal Skills Tree
Update Coming Real Soon

The chart below allows you to select skills for your RPG character. The skills have stats bonuses associated with them, as well as special considerations that may help you in certain situations in the game when the GM is involved. Currently there are four areas of skill: Physical, Intellectual, Social, and Combative skill. In each area, there are several specific skills which can be trained. It is important that you plan out what skills you want to have before assigning points, because some skills have special requirements, sometimes requiring skill in one area and sometimes not having skill in others. Each skill has its own row, and they can only be opened from left to right (i.e. you must be "Well Trained" and "Muscular" before you can unlock "Strong").

Each week, each player gets 3 training points to spend on skills (provided they have been active on the site). Until they are spent, they can be "stored" with the player's Census data. Some skills are more expensive than others. The price on each particular skill level is for that cell only (i.e. to get the "Muscular" skill, you must spend 3 points in total. 1 to get "Well Trained" and 2 to get "Muscular").

Bonuses Are Non-Cumulative, which means the bonuses of the level you are currently at are the only bonuses you get for that skill, not the bonuses of the previous levels (think of it as improving upon a previous skill, and the bonuses change, rather than adding to past skills). Additionally, for each area you may only have mastery (level 5, or cell farthest to the right) in one specific skill.

You can add these skills to your Census entry once you have paid for them. Apply the bonuses to your stats immediately.
