Revision as of 23:03, 16 January 2020
Clans are player managed organizations that exist within the game client. Players can join a clan at no cost - however, they must apply or be invited. If a player so chooses, he or she can start a clan for 2,500. Though there is no requirement to be in a clan, membership carries benefits. Besides allowing for faster communication through the clan-chat interface, members benefit from in-game perks provided by developing structures within the clan's Naval Base. These structures are built using Oil, which is a clan-specific resource earned by members for simply playing the game. Additionally, membership in a clan allows for players to partake in the Clan Battles game mode.
Contents
Organization
Clans are structured hierarchically:
Rank | Permissions |
---|---|
Commander | Can build structures on the clan Naval Base, see the amount of Oil obtained by clan members with hidden statistics, edit the clan name, tag, and description, modify the rank of clan members, send invites and accept applications, remove members, disband the clan, etc. Can form divisions for Clan Battles. |
Executive Officer | Same as the Commander, except cannot remove other Executive Officers or disband the clan. |
Recruiter | Can send invitations and accept applications to the clan. Can form divisions for Clan Battles. |
Commissioned Officer | No permissions. |
Line Officer | No permissions. |
Midshipman | No permissions. |
Clan benefits
For most players, the primary attraction of a clan is the benefits that its members gain from development of the clan's naval base. As the naval base grows, there are increasing bonuses to member experience and earned resources, and discounts on ships.
A less widely used but no less important benefit is the ability to participate in Clan Battles.
Clan Rating
The Clan Rating icon shows the clan's lasted standings in Clan Battles. During clan battle season a leader board becomes available. [?]
Clan Members
Like the Naval Base, the clan's member list is publicly available.
From a member entry, anyone can send a port chat message or, unless the player has hidden his, view the member's profile. <left-click> on the member entry for options.
Both the clan's and each member's historical battle performance statistics by battle mode are also available, unless, again, the player has chosen to hide his. Oil contribution is not available to non-members.
——————————————————————————————————————————————
Clan pages when you're not in a clan
On the Port Main Bar, the right-most option is either "Clan" if you are not in a clan, or your clan's hack if you are.
The following pages are seen by a player who is not a clan member.
These pages are designed to help you find, evaluate, and join (or create) a clan.
Clan Search
The search function can locate a clan by tag (hack) or by name. Once found, the naval base and members list is available, along with clan rules, etc. And you can apply to join it.
Looking for the WOLFZ clan. (Partial hacks are allowed. "WOLF" returns 122 results.) Enter the clan hack "WOLFZ" and press <Enter>.
WOLFZ clan found! Click it to view their naval base and member list.
Recommendations
The system finds some clans that it thinks might fit your preferences. You can set explicit preferences by clicking "My In-game Preference". Scroll right or left for more recommendations.
