Getting Started
Account, factions, your first session and the login calendar.
Creating your account
Sign up with email and password, or with Google (Sign in with Apple on iOS). One account works everywhere: the game on mobile and PC, this website, the Qcoin shop and the Pilot Registry.
Accounts created through Google or Apple are verified automatically. Email accounts should verify from the profile page: a verified email is the only recovery path if you ever lose your password.
- Your pilot name is unique across the whole galaxy. Pick one you can live with.
- You can link Google later: logging in with Google using the same email attaches it to your existing account.
Choosing a faction
Earth, Mars and Venus each control their own chain of eight sectors. Your faction decides where you start, who your allies are and who is fair game. You choose on your first login.
Faction identity runs deep: rank ladders are per faction, home bases are faction-only and the war in contested space is fought along these three lines.
- The first pick is free. Later changes have a 7-day cooldown between them.
- Playing with friends? Same faction. There are no cross-faction parties.
Your first session
Every pilot starts in a Phoenix at their faction's home base. Open the missions window and follow the chain: missions teach every system and are your best early income.
The hamburger menu (top right) holds everything else: hangar, shop, enhancement, marketplace, calendar and mailbox. The backpack icon next to the chat opens your pilot gear.
- Do not buy gear randomly in your first hour. Missions hand you what you need to get rolling.
The login calendar
Log in, claim the day, repeat. The 30-day calendar pays out stones, beacons, scrolls, ammo, cron stones and cores on a fixed track, and each day you also pick a daily gift between EXP scroll options.
Missed days do not break the track, you simply continue where you left off. Played an hour on the weekend? You can claim a catch-up day.
