Welcome to the [BORG] Alliance! This page was created to help our team, both old and new players but primarily beginners. Start with the RoE tab above to learn what rules we follow on this server. Feel free to ask any questions in the AC (Alliance Chat) chat room which is found at the top, center of your screen.
We are a strong team and we try to help each other as much as possible. However, please keep in mind that at the end of the day, this is a game and IRL (In Real World) things come first. This means that your life outside of the game takes priority and we all understand this. So, don't feel pressured or forced to have to be on 24/7. If you can, that's awsome! But definately not required. Have fun and LLAP!
Alliance Tournaments!
The Tournament consists of completing tasks and the point reward goes to the alliance's total to score vs other alliances from many servers. The top 35% of alliances are promoted to next league. The bottom 35% are relegated to previous league. The alliance store will remain open for 2 days after the end of the tournament.
Tasks
- complete a maximum of 3 per day. Any unfinished tasks at the end of tournament day are failed and your max is reset to 0/3
- you can only have 1 active task at a time. Taking a task, not finishing, and taking another will fail the first task.
- the task pool is common to entire alliance; refreshing or taking a task prevents others from taking it.
- the armada tasks come in multiple versions:
--Defeat FKR armada means you simply have to participate in the victory over a FKR faction armada
--Spend FKR armada means you must be the one to spend the directives on that armada. Victory not required. - some tasks require spending $$ to complete. Obviously do not take if you do not want to spend.

717/BORG Rules of Engagement (RoE)
Server-wide RoE Est. 09/19/2025. Amended 12/17/2025
1. Survey Ships: Always protected while UPC. Exceptions:
- No protection in a system where the same alliance is raiding a base.
- The survey ship is being used for attacking other ships or hostiles.
- The survey ship is zero node and no other nodes are available in the system. The attacker must immediately start mining the node just cleared.
2. Warships as Miners:
- Specialty warships are protected (e.g. Discovery, NSEA, Voyager) only when actively mining for their loop materials.
3. Token Space: Any system requiring you to spend something to enter.
- Protected from attacks on any ship type. Any system requiring a special token (e.g. Borg, Mirror) is protected.
4. Armadas:
- Ships are protected when inside the armada circle except when using it as protection after initiating an attack on another player.
5. Alliance Owned Territory:
- Entering another alliance's territory provides no protection of any type. Enter at your own risk.
6. Territory Capture or Defense:
- RoE does not apply in contested territories.
7. Warships:
- Do not have any protections except as defined in 2 - 4 above.
Rule of Thumb: If you are unsure whether to hit someone, stay within RoE.
Diplomacy
In the STFC realm, there is Diplomacy. What does that mean?:
- the skill of managing international relations
- the art of dealing with people in a sensitive and effective way
But what does this mean in the game? It means that we all have a general respect for the game and the players. This game does have a PvP (Player vs Player) aspect and depending on other players' actions, sometimes things can get a bit heated. This is why we have and follow RoE. Should there be an issue, it needs to be brought up to a Commodore or the Admiral of the alliance. To be sure you CYA (Cover Your Ass), always try to take screenshots before you take someone out. This greatly helps your Admiral and Commodores should another player (regardless of their title) come crying.
Do accidents happen? Yes. Will the game glitch and actually cause you to hit someone even though you did not intend to hit them? Also yes. Should this happen, just send that player a DM explaining what happened and apologize (and take a screenshot of said message including any replies). That's really all you can do. On the very outside chance things get very heated and become personal, don't go all postal on them. Take screenshots and reach out to your Commodores or Admiral.
Rule of Thumb: If you are unsure whether to hit someone, stay within RoE until you get clarification.
