How to Play Star Control:
CLAIMING PLANETS
At the start of the game, teams take turns claiming planets. Once all planets have been claimed, the game begins. Each turn in the game occurs in three phases: the Buy Phase, the Attack Phase, and the Move Phase.

BUY PHASE
At the beginning of the Buy Phase, the team is awarded its full per-turn income. These funds can be used during this phase to upgrade space stations and deploy forces to fleets.

ATTACK PHASE
During the Attack Phase, teams may make a limited number of attacks against enemy planets. Planets are captured when all defending forces are defeated. After capturing a planet, half of the attacking force moves to occupy the new territory.
Attackers are not required to destroy defending space stations, but stations still provide meaningful support to defending ships. A team wins the overall campaign by capturing all planets in the cluster.

MOVE PHASE
During the Move Phase, teams may make a limited number of deployments to reinforce key locations in preparation of enemy attacks or to further their own advances.

4. Game Modes
Two-Station Battle:
Two fleets meet in combat. Achieve victory by eliminating the opposing forces or destroying the opposing team's space station.
One-Station Attack/Defense:
Defenders will attempt to wipe out the attacking forces while the attacking forces attempt to either destroy the defending space station or eliminate the defending fleet's forces. The number of forces for each side can be set independently from the game mode's configuration menu.
Select "One-Station Attack" to play as attackers or "One-Station Defense" to play as defenders.
Zone Control:
Two fleets seek to control an area at the center of the battlefield. Neither team has the support of a space station. Teams gain points by occupying the control zone without any contesting enemy presence. When time runs out, the team with more points wins.
Elimination Dogfight:
Two fleets meet in combat without the support of space stations. Eliminate all of the other team's forces to win.
Timed Dogfight:
Two fleets meet in combat without the support of space stations. Whichever team has the most kills win time runs out wins.
