Combat Order

Cloak Intercept

Ships with a Cloaking Device, the mission Intercept, and Primary Enemy set appropriately will always attack first (presumably in order of ship ID or friendly code), and they will specifically attack the target they are set to intercept. Once they have intercepted (and presumably destroyed) their target, they will then be decloaked and participate in the main combat order.

Main combat order

Ships fight according to their battlevalue. Lowest battlevalue begins.

Battlevalue:

• if friendlycode is numerical: friendlycode
• else: 1000 + 10 (if mission is NOT kill) + 5 (if NO Primary Enemy is set)

2nd combat order

(if both ships have the same main combat order)

Combat order sorted by ship IDs. Ships with a lower ship ID attack earlier.

Note: Ships with matching friendly codes do not attack each other.
