 To aid in the utility of smaller ships and help alleviate some of the standard Space Engineers 'Bigger is Better' factor, the smaller the ship, the higher its top speed. There is not a huge difference, but enough to have an impact on combat.

 Remembering things is hard. Forgot to pick up your child from school? Understandable. Forgot to feed your pets for 2 weeks? A shame, and now they're dead, but we get it. Forgot to station your T5 after moving it? UNACCEPTABLE. But there is a solution! On GURP, each restart grids get stationed as long as they follow these conditions: Remembering things is hard.

-==== Reflective Nanobots (pings) ====+===== Reflective Nanobots (pings) =====
 We are experimenting ways to prevent as much as possible having too many assets hidden in deep space, mainly with the intent of stopping endless wars. Called RIN for Reflective Intelligent Nanobots, this system will from time to time show to all online players a signal for a few seconds, potentially revealing hidden assets. The only way to be certain it will not happen is to be less than 350km from the center of any gravity fields (moons and planets) or to be within 150km of any claim station owned by your faction. We are experimenting ways to prevent as much as possible having too many assets hidden in deep space, mainly with the intent of stopping endless wars.

-==== Upkeep and economy ====+===== Upkeep and economy =====
 Large grid T3s, T4s, T5s, stations over 3000 blocks, and FOBs are charged an upkeep cost in credits every 5 minutes. This cost is automatically deducted from the faction bank account as long as someone from the faction is online. If you cannot pay, all major blocks on the grid will be disabled until upkeep can be charged. **Upkeep cost is halved for hangared grids.** If a ship is turned off by the upkeep, the faction must turn them on manually after adding money into the faction bank. The upkeep is only charged if someone from the faction is online. Large grid T3s, T4s, T5s, stations over 3000 blocks, and FOBs are charged an upkeep cost in credits every 5 minutes.

-==== Hacking blocks and firewalls ====+===== Hacking blocks and firewalls =====
 To use a hacking block, simply build one on the grid that you wish to claim control of and click "Begin Hacking" in the K menu of the hacking block. Hacking starts a timer, at the conclusion of which, the grid in question will be transferred to the hacking block owner. Hacking is considered a hostile action, so all rules around combat apply to use of these blocks and any rulebreaks will be treated the same as if you had destroyed the grid. Both Firewall and Hacking blocks must also be accessible on foot without needing to grind any blocks other than doors. To use a hacking block, simply build one on the grid that you wish to claim control of and click "Begin Hacking" in the K menu of the hacking block.

 There are no restrictions on which grids you can hack beyond what is stated in the rules - they can be used on your own or your faction mate's grids for easier transfer of grids. There are no restrictions on which grids you can hack beyond what is stated in the rules - they can be used on your own or your faction mate's grids for easier transfer of grids.

   * Whenever too many friendly or neutral T4s or T5s are within 10km of each other, they will become "masslocked". Grids max speed, and maximum active gyroscopes will decrease the more non-hostile grids gather around each other. This is to try to help ship tier balance during combat between single large factions and coalitions of smaller factions   * Whenever too many friendly or neutral T4s or T5s are within 10km of each other, they will become "masslocked".
