In the beginning of the game the player gets a spaceship with the minimum set of equipment, produced by the Gaal. The ranger without a spaceship does not exist. Also, the player has a certain sum of money that would enable him start trading. The player starts the game on one of the planets belonging to the race he has chosen. The rangers cannot conquer planets, they can only liberate them.
Rangers can attack any objects in the game, except for the stars.
The intelligence of the computer players is made with the maximum approximation to the logics of a human player. Each of the rangers has his own rating. The ranger can find out about the current position of the competitors on any planet. Any action of the ranger is evaluated by the Anti-Klingan Galactic commission. The more points the ranger has got, the higher his rating is, and correspondingly, the higher is his name in the galactic rating of rangers.
