Finding an Alliance

You're now almost ready to advance to level 6 and leave the beginners zone, while we wait for a few ticks to build up a small stockpile of resources its time to look at alliances.

The majority of active players in STNE are members of an alliance, however it is not a requirement and it is possible (although generally more difficult) to be a successful independent player. Even if you wish to become an independent player it is still worth looking at the Political Map of the Galaxy so see where different alliances are located. This is because some alliances will not take kindly to new players moving into space they have claimed, so if you want to be independent its best to find a set of coordinates in neutral space to move to.

If you are interested in joining an alliance check out the guide on finding the right alliance for me, which goes lists all of the major alliances and alliance blocks and what kind their focus is - be it trading, military, raiding, training new players etc.

If you've found an alliance you want to join, go ahead and send an IGM to their leader (or recruitment player if one is listed on the alliance page) asking if you'd be able to join. Once you've joined an alliance they should be able to give you coordinates in their space to move to. This will avoid any costly relocations at a later date.

Upgrading to Level 6

Before you upgrade to level 6 make sure you've done all these things

• Built up a small stockpile of Plasteel and Duranium - This will come in very useful for building up your next colonies
• Joined an alliance or found some coordinates in neutral space to move to
• Used up all your extra ticks - you will not get extra ticks after you upgrade and any remaining extra ticks will be lost
• Gained at least 800 experience - it is not possible to upgrade to level without this

Now you've met all the requirements its time to upgrade to level 6 and move out of the beginners zone. There are three ways to do this:

• Click [Upgrade level] at the top of the page
• Go to the main screen and click [Request higher level]
• Go to "Help" --> "Apply for a higher level"

All of these options will take you to a screen where you can input the coordinates to move to, you should input the coordinates for your alliance space or neutral space and then click "Move to desired coordinates". It is also possible to move to a random position, however this is not recommended.
