Tank[]

A role in group combat. The tank will attempt to be the one to take damage from the enemy. With the AI hate system, this means that they must be the one dealing adequate damage or Taunting the enemy to keep it attacking the tank. Most often group members with high defense abilities elect to be the tanks. Melee professions tend to be better tanks because of their higher defenses, and the Taunt ability.

Tavern[]

A facility located in some outposts and smaller cities. It is a combination of a Medical Center and Cantina, allowing the abilities of both at the same time.

Template (Temp)[]

Warning: This article refers to Pre-NGE information.
The current set of skills your character has, or the final set of skills you'd like your character to have once you use up all your skill points. When one has used up all their skill points, they are considered to have a "completed template".

There is a simple nomenclature used to describe your advancement in a given profession. Master is 'M', novice may be 'N', and any other advancement is described by a 4 digit number expressing how far up each skill branch you have gotten. A Marksman with Rifles IV, Pistols I, Carbines II, and Ranged Support III wound have the template '4123'; novice could also be shown as '0000'.

Tier 1-5[]

Refers to the level of the pilot skill tree you have attained, or the level that you are recommended to have before combating an enemy. NPC ships in space also have tier numbers under their name to determine their approximate difficulty level.

When you start a Pilot profession, you are at Tier 0.

  1. When you have 1-1-1-1 you have completed Tier 1.
  2. When you have 2-2-2-2 you have completed Tier 2.
  3. When you have 3-3-3-3 you have completed Tier 3.
  4. When you have 4-4-4-4 you have completed Tier 4.

Once you mastered pilot, you'll be considered Tier 5.
