• Go to the Ocho shop and buy a name change option.
  

• When the name change option is purchased, you can change your Character's name at the Game Options page.
  

• Game Options page can be accessed from the bottom navigation bar, the last tab on the right.

• You cannot reset an account once its created, but you can change its attributes.

• Class and stats reset tokens are available in the casino or the Ocho shop.

Some captains feel that they have been playing the game wrongly and have used their stats points in a way that benefited them little.

In such cases, captains should consider a class reset and a stats reset instead of an account reset. Class reset and a stats reset will usually save the captain ” traveling time” to the same level.

When a Captain wants to reset his class, he needs to have a Class Reset option.

Each reset will delevel you 2 level unless you have a free reset.

• When players do a class reset, the fixed stats bonus of the class will be fulfilled first.
  

• If the allocated stats prior the class reset is not sufficient to fulfill the fixed stats bonus,allocated stats points from Navigation will be deducted to fulfill the shortfall in stats points.
  

• Allocated points in Gunnery will then be used, if there isn't enough stats points in navigation to fulfil the fixed stats bonus for each class.
  

Class reset and Stats reset is not allowed when your level is a multiple of 10.

Every page in the game will have server time at the footer section.

• You can use this converter.

If you require more AP, you can:

• Purchase AP packages using Ochos

• Purchase Ochos to join the Ocho Loyalty Program

• Refer new players.
  

• 500 AP in the counter that is seen on the the homepage.

• You can accumulate as many AP as you like in the AP Bank.
  

• One possibility is if you're accessing multiple BS accounts on the same computer. Facebook sometimes confuses multiple sessions.
  

• Players have clicked on mining more than once per day. Mining more than once per day will cost 25APs and 50,000 gold.
  

• You need to increase the memory allocated for local storage in your Flash Player.

• Move cursor to the “Storage” or ship picture . Right click on your mouse. Select “Settings…”

• Choose the icon in the middle and increase the “Local Storage”. Click on “Close” .

The Weapons and Parts will be unequipped by default.
You retain your Parts and Weapons.

• Anchors are a special kind of Stabilizer. Instead of adding Speed to a Ship like normal Stabilizers, they massively reduce Speed instead. Although this seems counterproductive on first glance, Anchors can be useful for opening up additional tactical opportunities.

• On attack, you can use Anchors to stay out of the Weapon Range of your targets. This tactic is most often seen in attacking Captains which Anchor down and use a full loadout of long-range Missiles to strike their fleeing opponent from afar, while suffering no damage themselves.

• On defense, you can use Anchors to stay within the Weapon Range of your attackers. This tactic is most often seen in defending Captains which Anchor down and use a full loadout of Rams, in order to catch attacking Captains in a melee trap which places the latter at a disadvantage.

• In Clan Wars, Anchors are useful for adjusting the speed of the Ship, so that they can get through the opposing Clan Defenders to hit their Fort. The possible scenarios in which this might happen are too numerous to list.
  

• If everybody just creates “Add me” threads, the BS Boards will be full of clutter.

• Use the official ” Add me for crew” thread instead.

• Creating 3 or more add me threads will result in being banned by the developers.

• Add people who play BS as friends to invite them as your crew http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=18063885304&topic=19626.

• However, this is not really necessary for Captains who want to progress into the game.

• Captains who spam recruitment threads on the discussion boards will get banned by the Devs.Please do not do it.
  

• Captains who have not logged in within the last 7 days become “inactive”. While “inactive”, these Captains will not add to the Crew count of any other Captains they are a Crew of, until they log in again.

• Captains who just creates a character and never play the game are automatically removed after 30 days of inactivity. (ie. very low level even after 30 days).
  

• Captains who are very low level may also be periodically purged by the admins. The definition of low level can be any level from 1 -25 and will be determined by the admins.
  

• If your crew page does not load well, try logging out of Battlestations completely using this url:
  

http://apps.facebook.com/battlestations/_logout.php.\\

• Close browser, restart browser and log in again.

• If it does not work on your current browser, try it on a different browser, then a different PC. We would like to isolate the source of the problem to see if it comes from your browser settings, Pc settings or BS codes.

No.

You will have to click on the flash animation of the building to retrieve it.

Level 3.

Ans: 3 Days

The usual AP counter. If your AP counter is already 500, the AP collected will overflow your usual AP counter.

Yes. Quick Build time reduction will still be based on the original build time before Calling Allies.

This *IS A RARE ENCOUNTER* which means that the captain has found 3 Silver Treasure Chests during exploring. The Treasure Chests can be opened in the AP Bank.

Sinking, and getting sunk by rival Captains, is part and parcel of Battle Stations. Unlike other games on Facebook, Battle Stations do not penalize a Captain heavily for getting sunk, so it's not as much as a disadvantage as it may seem at first. Just use the 5 AP to salvage your Ship, and go about business as usual. Equip your ship with better weapons and go get some payback on the rival Captain who sunk you. ;)

This can happen when the high level player (more than level 150) switches to his/her secondary class. If you cannot find that captain within the Battle page, it may be that he/she has already switched back to his/her main Class.

Captains may only attack other rival Captains in the same Port as him/herself. He/she may attack rival Captains up to 5 levels above, and below his/her current level.
Example: A Level 100 Captain may attack rival Captains ranging from Level 96 to 105.

While there is nothing preventing a Captain from sinking a rival Captain repeatedly, the winning Captain will achieve diminished rewards in the 4th sink. No further rewards will be awarded for the 5th and subsequent sinks. This limit resets after every 24 hours, so a player can continue to obtain rewards for sinking that particular rival Captain once the limit is up.

If Weapons do not fire, it means that the current distance between the attacker and defender is longer than the range of the Weapon(s) used.

Most Subcannons have a 3-shot animation, with damage spread out over all 3 shots. Therefore, the Subcannon still delivers the total damage output stated.

It is not a violation of game rules for a Captain to attack another Captain repeatedly on the same day. However, it can be seen as exploitative gameplay.

Captains who repeatedly attack a particular rival Captain receives diminishing returns. If he/she attacks the same Captain again for the 4th time, EXP and Gold gains fall to 0.

What can I do about it?
You have the following options:

1. You can stay sunk and Salvage your Ship once every time you have accumulated 500 APs. Salvage and spend all your APs. It will minimize your chances of being sunk.
2. You can Travel to another Port. If the harassing Captain needs to travel to another Port to sink you, it becomes AP inefficient for him/her.
   

You can Mine a maximum of 3 times per day, with the first Mining being free. Subsequently, you have to pay for it.

• There is a minimum level requirement for each quest.

• Each captain can only initiate one Boss Battle.

• You cannot be active in more than 2 Boss Battles, including the one you initiated.

• They are used as components for crafting weapons. Captains can refer to complete list of crafted weapons for more information.

• They can be found in the Hangar inventory, under “Others”.
  

• The amount of time allocated for Boss Battles is given in consideration of Captains who do not have many high level friends to help them in the game.

• They have been phased out as a part of the game. However, they have returned in the form of Discovery Searches in the Explore page.

If you have reached the inventory limit for the item,you will not be able to get another piece of the item from Boss Battles.

Captains can only see items which have Level requirements not higher than 10 Levels above their current Level.

• This is due to EGV tax. EGV tax is meant to prevent gold transfer by multis. Sellers will receive up to 100% of EGV tax of rare items when the bid amount exceeds the EGV value. For common items, sellers receive up to 90% of the EGV value of the item.
  

• New auctions will be “LOCKED” for between 1 to 24 hours before release on market.
  

• Gold will now be locked until the auction for the item is over even if you are outbidded.
  

• Be patient, it is likely that the auction is still being processed.
  

• You will receive a message in your Captain's Log informing you of the auction outcome.
  

• Do not ask for support unless you got the auction result message but did not receive refunded gold/auction item, or if you did not receive the message hours after the auction is over.
  

Make sure you look at the “5 days running average” cost of each Resource.

Though auctions fluctuate, the cost for Ore or Plasma Rocks is always going to be relatively close to that value.

Ofcourse, as always with auctions, the higher you bid, the greater the chance you will get a Plasma Rock.

If you bid 130,000 Gold for a Plasma Rock and the average price ends up being 128,000 Gold, you'll just get the Plasma Rock; you will not be refunded the extra 2,000 Gold. Refunds only happens when you bid so low, you don't even get 1 Plasma Rock.

For Crafting or Refining to take place:

• You need to have the ingredients
• The ingredients must be in your inventory and not equipped on your Ship at the time of Crafting/Refining.

Captains should be able to scroll in the crafting page, holding the button as shown in this diagram.

No. Refined versions of a purchased Ocho weapon will not be accepted in the Trading House.
Refining an ocho weapon is classified as crafting.
