	~~Common questions about '''Per Regna''' — progression, economy, fleets, combat, and cosmetics.~~

	~~For step-by-step starts see [[Beginner Guides]]. For deeper play see [[Advanced Strategy]]. In-game: '''Settings → Quick Guides'''.~~

	~~----~~

	~~== Getting Started ==~~

	~~=== What is a Realm? ===~~
	~~A '''Realm''' is a progression tier of the universe. Higher Realms unlock ships, buildings, research, and alliance systems.~~

	* Ascend when you meet the Realm Score shown on your profile.
	* On ascension your colonies move to a new galaxy; ships and resources come with you.
	* See [[Realms Overview]] for focus by Realm.

	~~\|Realm 4 \|\| Prestige, late capitals, major AvA~~
	\|}

	~~=== What should I focus on in my first days? ===~~
	~~# Keep '''energy positive''' ([[Solar Plant]])~~
	~~# Upgrade '''Steel / Quartz''' mines and [[Warehouse]]~~
	~~# Follow [[Quest System\|onboarding quests]]~~
	~~# Unlock [[Probe]] and scout before hard fights~~
	~~# Prefer economy over oversized fleets early~~

	~~Full checklist: [[Beginner Guides]].~~

	~~=== What makes my Homeworld special? ===~~
	~~Your Homeworld has stronger base production, extra building slots, and cannot be abandoned like a normal colony. Invest in it early.~~

	~~----~~

	~~== Resources & Energy ==~~

	~~=== Why is my mine production low? ===~~
	~~'''Negative energy''' cuts mine output. Build more power ([[Solar Plant]], [[Fusion Reactor]], [[Elerium Reactor]]) before stacking mines.~~

	~~=== When does Gas become important? ===~~
	~~Gas fuels fleets, many mid/late researches, and expeditions. Prioritize [[Gas Extractor]] once you move fleets often.~~

	~~----~~

	~~== Fleets & Expeditions ==~~

	~~=== How do Expeditions work? ===~~
	~~Send fleets into nebula zones for resources, ships, and [[Relics\|relic pieces]]. Larger fleets can earn more but risk more. See [[Expeditions]].~~

	~~=== Which ships should I send? ===~~
	~~Early: [[Probe]], cargo, light combat. Later: add [[Science Vessel]] and specialist hulls. Composition affects recovered ship types — see [[Expeditions]].~~

	~~=== Can I recall fleets? ===~~
	~~Yes, before arrival. They return faster; fuel already spent is not refunded.~~

	~~=== What is debris? ===~~
	~~Destroyed ships leave debris fields you collect with [[Recycler]] / [[Advanced Recycler]]. Rates differ for PvP vs pirates and rise with [[Salvage Operations]]. See [[Fleet Combat]].~~

	~~----~~

	~~== Research ==~~

	~~=== Why is research slow? ===~~
	~~Speed scales with [[Research Lab]] levels and, from mid game, [[Colonial Administration]] linking labs into a network. See [[Research]].~~

	~~=== What should I research first? ===~~
	~~Energy, propulsion, basic weapons/shields, and sensors — enough to unlock Probe, cargo, and early combat. Full tree: [[Research\|Research Catalog]].~~

	~~----~~

	~~== Combat & Protection ==~~

	~~=== How does PvP warning work? ===~~
	~~Defenders are not pinged at launch. Early-warning pushes fire in a '''10–30 minute''' window before arrival, shaped by [[Radar Station]] and attacker [[Frigate]]s. Full rules: [[Fleet Detection]].~~

	~~=== Can I lose everything if attacked? ===~~
	~~No. [[Warehouse]] + [[Resource Protection]] shelter a share of resources; [[Fleet Hangar]] can protect docked fleets (with stun rules — [[Fleet Stun]]); defenses may partially recover.~~

	~~=== What is Rapid Fire? ===~~
	~~Some ships and defenses strike certain targets multiple times per round. See [[Rapid Fire]] and each unit’s infobox.~~

	~~----~~

	~~== Alliances & Cosmetics ==~~

	~~=== Why join an Alliance? ===~~
	~~Shared vault, research, territory, FCS rallies, and branding. See [[Alliances]].~~

	~~=== Do relics / cosmetics give combat power? ===~~
	~~No. [[Relics]] and [[Cosmetics]] are identity and prestige. Class bonuses come from [[Monuments]] / [[Player Classes]].~~

---

=== What should I focus on in my first days? ===
Priorities:

# Upgrade Steel and Quartz Mines
# Maintain positive Energy via Solar Plants
# Upgrade your Homeworld
# Complete Daily Quests

Early economic growth is more important than rushing fleets.

---

=== What makes my Homeworld special? ===
Your Homeworld:

* Has higher base production
* Has extra building slots
* Cannot be destroyed

It is the core of your empire and provides the best long-term return on investment.
----

== Resources & Energy ==

=== Why is my mine production low? ===
If your energy is negative:

* Mine output is reduced
* Production efficiency drops

Solution: Upgrade Solar Plants or other power sources before upgrading mines further.

---

=== When does Gas become important? ===
Gas is required for:

* Fleet fuel
* Advanced research
* Expeditions

It becomes critical once you begin regular fleet movement.

---

=== What are Experience Points used for? ===
Experience Points are used for:

* Trade Center offers
* Battle simulations
* Imperial access features

They are valuable and should be spent carefully.
----

== Fleets & Expeditions ==

=== What are Expeditions? ===
Expeditions send fleets into deep space to discover:

* Resources
* Ships
* Fragments
* Special events

Larger fleets increase potential rewards but also increase risk.

---

=== How do I start an expedition? ===
Expeditions require two steps:

# Scout a Nebula Center
# Once scanned, available Nebula Zones appear in Galaxy View
# Choose a zone and send an exploration fleet

---

=== Which ships should I send on an expedition? ===
Recommended fleet composition:

* Probes
* Cargo Ships
* Fighter-class ships
* (Realm 3+) Exploration Ship

==== Probe Discovery Chance ====
<pre>
Discovery Chance (%) = MIN(LOG2(probeCount), 10)
</pre>More probes increase event discovery chance.

==== Exploration Ship Bonus ====
<pre>
Explorer Bonus (%) = MIN(LOG2(explorerCount + 1) × 10, 100)
</pre>Exploration Ships increase resource and ship discovery rates.

==== Ship Type Influence ====
Ship types affect what ships can be discovered.

Example:

* Sending Kamikaze may discover Kamikaze or Fighter.
* Sending Battleship may unlock Kamikaze, Fighter, Battleship, Destroyer, or Frigate.

---

=== What does Nebula Zone difficulty mean? ===
Higher difficulty zones:

* Offer greater rewards
* Increase chance of ship loss
* Increase stun probability

!Difficulty
!Risk Level
!Reward Potential
|-
|Easy
|Very Low
|Low
|-
|Medium
|Moderate
|Balanced
|-
|Extreme
|High
|Very High
|}
Higher risk equals higher potential gain.

---

=== Can I recall fleets? ===
Yes.

* Fleets can be recalled before arrival.
* They return faster.
* Fuel is not refunded.

Recalling in time can prevent fleet loss.

---

=== Why is my fleet slow? ===
Fleet speed is determined by:

* Slowest ship in the fleet
* Combustion technologies

Lower speed:

* Uses less fuel
* Takes longer

---

=== What is debris? ===
When ships are destroyed in battle, debris fields form.

Base debris generation:
{| class="wikitable"
!Battle Type
!Base Debris Rate R1 & R2
!Realm 3
!Realm 4
|-
|PvP
|30%
|22.5%
|15%
|-
|Pirate Battles
|40%
|37.5%
|35%
|}

==== Salvage Operations Research ====

* PvP: +0.5% per level
* Pirate: +0.25% per level

Example (Realm 3, Salvage Level 20):<pre>
Pirate:
20% + (20 × 0.25%) - 2.5% = 22.5%

PvP:
40% + (20 × 0.5%) - 2.5% = 47.5%
</pre>
----

== Research ==

=== Why is research taking so long? ===
Research speed depends on:

* Research Lab levels
* Colonial Administration research (Realm 2+)

Each Colonial Administration level links another Research Lab into the research network.

---

=== What research should I prioritize early? ===
Recommended early research:

* Energy Technology
* Drive Technologies
* Computer Technology
* Basic combat technologies

----

== Alliances ==

=== Why should I join an Alliance? ===
Alliances provide:

* Protection
* Shared knowledge
* Coordinated attacks
* Trading opportunities
* Social gameplay

Active alliances are a major advantage.

---

=== What happens during Alliance wars? ===
Alliance wars involve:

* Coordinated attacks
* Diplomacy
* Strategy
* Political shifts

Success depends on teamwork, not only fleet size.
----

== Combat & Protection ==

=== How does PvP work? ===
PvP occurs when attacking another player’s planet or fleet.

Key elements:

* Espionage before attack
* Timing
* Fleet composition
* Tactical coordination

Planning matters more than raw numbers.

---

=== Can I lose everything if attacked? ===
No.

* A portion of resources is always protected.
* Defenses may partially rebuild.
* Fleet Hangar can protect ships.

However:

* Protected ships are stunned temporarily.

==== Fleet Hangar Stun Formula ====
<pre>
Stun Duration =
MIN(3600 + (1800 × FLOOR(Total Lost Ship Value / 10000)), 86400)
</pre>Range: 1 hour to 24 hours.

---

=== How do I defend my planet? ===
Recommended approach:

* Mixed defensive structures
* Protected fleets when offline
* Balance economy and military growth

---

=== What do Probes do? ===
Probes are used for scouting Pirates or Players.

Scouting:

* Reveals fleet
* Reveals defenses
* Reveals protection status

Detection depends on:

* Enemy Sensor Technology
* Number of probes sent

==== Scout Capability Formula ====
<pre>
Scout Power =
Player Sensor Tech
- Enemy Sensor Tech
+ sqrt(Number of Probes)
</pre>Higher scout power reveals more detailed reports.

---

=== What does Rapid Fire mean? ===
Rapid Fire allows an attacking ship to strike multiple targets in the same combat round.

Example:

If 1 Fighter (700 attack) fights 10 Probes (200 HP + 15 Shield):

Without Rapid Fire:

* Fighter destroys only one target per attack cycle.
* Battle may last multiple rounds.

With 5× Rapid Fire:

* Fighter may apply its 700 attack multiple times in one round.
* Multiple probes can be destroyed instantly.

Rapid Fire increases efficiency against specific ship types.
