Protection and vacation

VoidMarch is a persistent universe. Closing the app doesn't pause your empire: production, queues and fleets keep going, and your planets can be attacked while you're offline.

Newcomer protection

While either commander has fewer than 5,000 points, they can only attack or be attacked by commanders within a 5:1 score ratio. Once both have 5,000 points or more, there's no ratio limit.

Daily attack limit

Each commander can land at most 6 attacks on the same planet or moon within 24 hours. ACS attacks count for each attacker. Espionage-only fleets and missiles don't count.

Vacation mode

Open Commander settings from the empire menu when you need a break.

• You can enter only when you have no fleets flying and nothing building, researching or in the shipyard.
• It lasts at least 48 hours.
• Production stops, you can't take actions, and no new attacks can be sent at you. Fleets already flying toward you still arrive.
• Officer time keeps running during vacation.

Staying safe

• Don't leave large amounts of resources on a planet; a winning raid can take half. See Fleets and combat.
• Keep your fleet flying, or away from home, while you're offline if it can't win a fight.
• Espionage Technology gives you more detail about incoming hostile fleets.
