Frequently Asked Questions

General

What is Orbitarion? A tick-based space strategy MMO where you control a planet, build fleets, and compete against other players.

Is it free to play? Yes. Premium offers better intel tools but zero gameplay advantage.

What platforms? Android (available now), iOS (coming soon), and web (planned).

Gameplay

How often do ticks happen? Every 30 minutes. Between ticks you plan, when the tick hits everything resolves.

How long is a season? Several weeks. The exact duration varies and is not revealed in advance.

What happens when a season ends? Winners are crowned, stats are archived, and the universe resets. Everyone starts fresh. Alliances persist between seasons.

Can I join mid-season? Yes! Late joiners get the same protection period (96 ticks / 48 hours) as everyone else.

What are orbitals? Orbitals are resource-producing structures around your planet. More orbitals = more income = bigger target.

Combat

Can I be attacked? Not during your protection period (first 48 hours). After that, yes — but there are score-based restrictions that prevent much larger players from attacking much smaller ones.

What happens when I'm attacked? The battle resolves at the next tick. Check Intel for detailed battle reports.

Can alliance members attack each other? No. Alliance members cannot attack each other.

Account

Can I change my race? Not during a season. You choose your race when you join each season.

Can I change my planet name? You can choose a new name each season when you sign up.
