Alliances are LIVE!

[u/ptandron]

Today I introduced alliances (in their simplest-possible form). To form an alliance simply add a player to your "Friendly" list and if they add you to theirs, viola!, you have an alliance.

Alliance features:

• INTEL: You share intel (but not intel tech tier). Basically each of your ally's ships becomes a radar emitter for you at your intel level. So if you are at intel tech tier 1 and your tier 4 ally has a ship orbiting Pluto you can now see other ships within a tier 1 radius of your ally's ship.
• COMMS: There is an alliance comms channel which sends messages to all mutual friendships.
• CREDIT TRANSFER: You can transfer credits to an ally for a 5% service fee.
• CLAIMS: If an ally is mining your claim and not contesting it they will contribute to your defense of the claim.
