Race

From round 6 and onwards, there have been four different races in Planetarion, that the player can choose from at the beginning of the round. These have been:

General

Terran

Terran ships are ostensibly the standard by which other the races' ships are measured. Usually given high armor, medium-low damage and bad initiative, Terran is usually considered the easiest choice for new players.

Cathaar

Most Cathaar ships freeze the opponent's ships rather than destroy them, and generally have a slightly higher efficiency due to this.

Xandathrii

Xandathrii ships are cloaked.

Prior to round 10 only pods showed up on the galaxy overview, and it was impossible to tell whether the fleet contained any other ships in, except by using a Military Scan. A good Xand player would generally have several fleets with the same amount of pods in each, and only the escort ships in one, thus making it impossible for the target to know whether the attack was real or fake.

Zikonian

Most Zikonian ships subvert their opponent's ships rather than killing them.

Prior to round 10 Zikonian ships would steal the ships permanently.

Round 12

Terran

• Terrans build Constructions 2 ticks faster than the default of 12 ticks.
  • At Engineer priority 1 this gives a build time of 4 ticks.
  • At Engineer priority 2 this gives a build time of 6 ticks.
  • At Engineer priority 3 this gives a build time of 8 ticks.
  • With no priority on construction, Terran have a build time of 10 ticks.

• Terran Production time is 1 tick faster than the default.
  • At Engineer priority 1 this gives a build time of 5 ticks.
  • At Engineer priority 2 this gives a build time of 6 ticks.
  • At Engineer priority 3 this gives a build time of 8 ticks.
  • With no priority on construction, Terran have a build time of 11 ticks.

Cathaar

• Cathaar build Constructions 1 tick slower than the default of 12 ticks.
  • At Engineer priority 1 this gives a build time of 7 ticks.
  • At Engineer priority 2 this gives a build time of 9 ticks.
  • At Engineer priority 3 this gives a build time of 11 ticks.
  • With no priority on construction, Terran have a build time of 13 ticks.

• Cathaar Research is 10%
