CLAN SYSTEM OVERHAUL EXPLAINED
AUTHOR - WAR ROBOTS

Rally your clanmates! Update 10.1 gives a start to a massive overhaul of the Clans system. All Clans now support cross-platform membership, clan interface has received an update, and everyone can now reap economical benefits from the Starbase of their Clan. In this article we explain everything new about the system. We’ll keep updating this page as more features come out.

STARBASE
The Starbase is the new home screen of your Clan. The base reflects your Clan’s level of development and prestige. It consists of Sections, each providing its own benefits to all active members:

Citadel unlocks upgrades for other Sections and increases Clan capacity.
Officer Academy increases the number of officers the Clan can have.
Comms Center provides additional Daily Clan Tasks.
Logistics Center boosts the production speed of Workshops.
Pilot Training Center allows Pilots to gain increased combat experience.
Ship Control Center speeds up the accumulation of Orbital Strikes in combat.


There are also facilities that produce Power Cells, Keys, Memorium, Microchips and Upgrade Tokens. They are built and upgraded like any other Section. Once activated, they generate resources daily and accumulate them up to a cap. Remember to collect your share regularly! You can do so by pressing the big green button at the bottom of your Clan’s home screen.

ℹ New Clan members start receiving Clan bonuses no sooner than 24 hours after they joined.



ℹ The Capacity value is a personal limit for each member of the Clan. There is no clan-wide cap on stored resources.

STARBASE MANAGEMENT
Apart from the Clan Leader, only Senior Officers are trusted with operating the Starbase. They can build and upgrade Sections using Thorium which is donated to the Treasury by the willing members of the Clan.

ℹ You can earn Thorium by completing Daily Clan Tasks.

A Section has to be activated to begin generating resources or providing bonuses. The Leader and Senior Officers can toggle them on and off depending on the Clan members’ current needs. Each Section has a Maintenance cost that gets deducted from the Treasury the moment it goes online and then again every 24 hours until it’s turned off. If the Treasury lacks funds to pay the maintenance costs, the Sections will switch off automatically. Note that maintenance cost is scaled with the number of members in the Clan.

ℹ Resources are added to the storage once a day every 24 hours while the Section is Active. Switching the Section off will keep the accumulated resources.



ℹ If all Clan members are offline for more than two days all the Sections stop using Thorium and providing resources until any member appears online and visits the Starbase.

MEMBER MANAGEMENT
The overhaul includes a bunch of changes that will make clan management easier. Here is the list of most important additions:

Clans have become fully cross-platform, meaning combined member rosters of players from Android, iOS, PC and Amazon.
We have added one new rank. Senior Officers serve as the Leader’s deputies. They can invite new Clan members, change Ranks or expel Rookies, Veterans and Officers, manage the Starbase, update recruitment settings and enter their Clan into Clan Competitions.
⚠️ If the Clan Leader is absent for more than a month, they are now automatically replaced by the most active Senior Officer.
The Member List now shows when each member was last seen online as well as the number of days they spent being a part of your clan.


There are also a bunch of UI improvements and tweaks, like the increased number of Clans in Clan Search, an option to select a Clan Style to attract recruits who share the same goals, a new field to post your Recruitment Pitch, and an increased number of characters in clan tags (5). Check the tooltips in the clan UI for more information!

⚠️ Note that a Clan that has no active members for more than 60 days is automatically disbanded and its Starbase is destroyed.

This overhaul will allow us to add more Clan features in future updates. Next on our list are Shipyards where you will be able to get Mothership components. Stay tuned!

So as I understand this, if you are in a clan you get more ways to “earn, build, or otherwise get more resources”? And I would assume if your clan is ranked higher you would be able to have more ways to get more stuff?

This is just an attempt to mask the fact that so many players have left that many clans are now inactive or have only a small group of active players left on their roster with virtually no chance of attracting new members; they have to merge because Clan membership is currently irrelevant. Clan rewards are worthless in the new economy - when’s the last time anyone purchased Au to ‘strengthen the clan’? Unfortunately Pix being Pix they’ve come up with a moronic solution that’ll just piss people off.

just the latest cash grab ...nothing more lol

the auto use of boosters was worse , no choice but to waste them .....also never been in a clan or added friends simply because he majority of invites ....hey do you wanna know where to get these hacks , i can show you for a small fee pmsl .......

What a clan does or doesnt do with it members is the clans business, not Pigsonics. Its ridiculous for Pigsonic to force 'rules' for internal clan matters.

Its gotten way past the point of raw greed, its all the way to just plain evil. Its no wonder the player volume keeps dropping.

I'm honestly surprised some AG somewhere hasnt caught onto this massive scam and done something already. The gambling component for sub-adults alone seems like cause enough.
