Spectral Mode

The alternative to vacation mode: you keep playing in a limited way, but you can neither attack nor be targeted by new attacks.

In spectral mode you withdraw from combat without freezing your empire completely. You can keep building, researching, transporting and stationing between your own planets and colonizing new planets – only more slowly and with a quarter of your normal production. You cannot launch any attacks, and other players cannot send new attacks at you. Spectral mode is not available in every universe.

Entering

You activate the mode in the settings. Entering takes 24 hours. For Urplasma you can cut the remaining waiting time in half. When you activate it, none of your attacks may be on the way – not even an alliance attack – and you cannot launch attacks during the entry period.

While in spectral mode

Flights as well as ship and defense construction take ten times as long, building construction twice as long. Research continues normally.
Your resource production drops to 25%.
You only interact with your own planets: transports, stationing, colonization and event flights are possible. From other players you can only receive transports – espionage, attacks and the galaxy scanner are blocked in both directions.
The daily login bonus, the Interdimensional Transmitter and all shop features remain available, as do planet moves.
In the galaxy you appear in white (Galaxy map).

Leaving

Once you have entered, you can leave the mode again at any time. After that, you have to wait 3 days before you can enter again. You can only launch attacks yourself again after 3 days as well.
