Rules of space travel

The Air Force will be the military branch overseeing any space fleet. The ranks of the Air Force will be used.

Ship Orientation

• All ships will orient themselves to the same Z axis as the capital ship.
• The largest ship will be considered the capital ship when meeting with smaller craft.
• When two ships of the same size meet, the ship with the commander in higher standing will be considered the capital ship.
  • If the commanders are of the same standing, the ship with the earlier launch date will be the capital ship.
  • If the ships are working in conjunction on the same mission, the ship with the commander in command of the mission is the capital ship regardless of standing.
• The ship with the commander of a fleet is not the capital ship if it is smaller than another ship in the same fleet. It must orient itself to the capital ship.
• A ship with damage to its navigational controls is exempt.
• Ships will orient themselves to best advantage when joined in battle.
