| Clans |
Clans in SEI are loose groups of people that want
to work together or, at the very least, not kill each other. In most games you
can create your own clan or join another player created clan. In special events
(like Pirates vs Federation) you may be auto assigned to a clan when you join
a game.
In games where clans are allowed teamwork is vital to winning a game. Special
trophies are awarded to each member of the winning clan. In almost all Clan
games, clanmates that work together regularly also receive the lions share of
individual trophies.

| Joining a Clan: |
|
Unless the game is a Solo or Special Event game, you are free to create
or join any clan. You can only be in one clan at one time.
View the Clan's Page by clicking on "Details" when viewing
the Clan Rankings page. At the bottom of the page you will see the "Join
Clan" link. After clicking the link you will be asked for the Clan
password. This password protects the clan from having unwanted players
in the Clan.
If you are new and do not know any players in the game, private message
the leader of a few clans to see if you can join. Most of our clans
are very friendly and accepting of newcomers.

| Clan Bank Page |
|
The Clan Bank allows clan members to pool their money for the betterment
of the clan. The Clan Leader, Subcommanders and Treasurer have access
to these funds.
Clan members can make donations on this page. Any funds that they collect
by "taxing" themselves (Clan Contribution on the Player Options
page) are also deposited here.
A running total of their contributions or withdrawals is kept and displayed
beside each clan members name on this page as well as a list of every
clan members bank account.

| Clan Combat and Relations |
|
Clan Combat is always on. If you are a member of a clan and attack
or defend your clanmates will fire with you.
Be careful when you initiate combat that there are no 'bystanders' near
that could get killed.
The Clan Leader can mark other Clan Members as an Enemy <E>
or as Neutral <N>.
This does not affect combat itself, however does make ships you are
allied with or at war with more visable.
Clan members cannot fire on their clanmates.
Clan frequencies (a new feature) allow clanmates to choose if they want to fire with clanmates, or not.
Usually clan leaders will tell their clanmembers what to set their frequencies on.(you can change your setting the the middle right of your screen.)
Options to set it on:
Frequency 1
Frequency 2
Frequency 3
Frequency A - will attack/defend for any of your clanmates ships.
