NOOB Protection

1.) What is a noob protection?
Noob protection is a beginner protection, it protects new and inexperienced players

2.) How does the noob protection work?
There are two areas. One is the total points, the other is the military points ( Defense + Fleet )
Both work the same way. Players can only attack other players who have 1 / X or X times as many points. This way everyone can attack back.
There is also an upper limit above which one no longer has noob protection.

3.) Which factors X do the universes have?
The factor X has been chosen differently in the universes due to the speeds.
Uni 1 and 2 has X = 40
Uni 3 has X = 5
the factor X for the military points is 2 in all universes

4.) Where is the upper limit?
At a certain point you can assume that the player has understood how the game and especially Saven works and has created a certain infrastructure.
In Uni 1 and Uni 2 it is at Rohstoffspeed ^ 2
In Uni3 it is currently at 25,000 and is raised to 50,000 (at the start of university, such values are chosen lower. Uni3 is still a very young universe)

5.) What is Bird-free and how do you get that?
First of all, Vogelfrei is only recommended for experienced players!
You can become bird-free by performing an enemy action (destroy the moon, attack, spy) against a player marked as strong.
This would actually not work through the noob protection (only players who have X times as many points can be attacked), but as a weak player you can consciously decide against the noob protection.
You then become bird-free for 1 week, which means that anyone can attack you. In theory, you have set your own upper limit on your own points.
The week is always renewed if you take another hostile action against a player marked as strong.

6.) Why is there the possibility to become bird-free?
Of course, stronger players also have more resources lying around. More recovered raw materials also equates to faster progress and expansion.
As an experienced player you can get a lot of raw materials faster and stand out from the other newbies faster.

7.) How do I recognize strongly marked players?
It's easy. They are not only marked by points and places clearly above one, they are also marked with a red (S) in the galaxy and their name is also red.
If you still have the free comfort officer "1st officer", then the player will also be marked red in the statistics.

8.) I have accidentally been bird-free, what should I do?
This is quite difficult to believe, as the tutorial warns against it twice. At the end of Task 3 - Planetary Supply and Task 6 - Storage. The following tasks are Task 4 - The first ship and Task 7 - Fleet Action Build a spy probe.
Should it still happen, the best thing to do is to contact support via a support ticket or just pay more attention during the week.

9.) Non-hostile actions
Non-hostile actions such as dealing with strong players are allowed and do not give you a bird-free status.
