 * Dlentev (Dark Blue)
 * Aktiophar (Nougat - with ring)

Ships
One of the main parts of Solar Conquest is the ships found on team planets. When someone steps on the regen button, a ship will appear after a few seconds. There are four different ships on this game, each with its own special ability:
 * Fighters. These one-person ships are the main lightweight forces of each world. The special enables it to temporarily fire rockets and lasers faster. Normal maximum speed of 100.
 * Carriers. These heavy vehicles have built-in seats, to carry other players around. The special creates a 'forcefield brick' around the ship, which eats rockets and lasers up. Normal maximum speed of 80.
 * Cloak Fighters. These VIP ships are close relatives of Fighters, with different specials. This special makes the player and ship turn invisible, instead of firing faster. Normal maximum speed of 100.
 * Gunships. Much heavier than Fighters, these VIP ships have four guns on them. The special is the same as the Carrier special, with the forcefield. Normal maximum speed of 80.

Game Play
There are many ways of playing Solar Conquest, which can be simplified into three categories:
 * Fighting. Players are able to declare wars on other planets, and make alliances and peace with them, too.
 * Building. Players can choose one planet of their choice and build a base on it. Deleters are not allowed.
 * Exploring. Players can always have a good look around at each planet, and discover some new things.

VIP Benefits
A Solar Conquest VIP is available for 30 Robux or 70 Tix, with the following benefits:
 * The ability to spawn Gunships and Cloak Fighters
 * Access to the VIP room on the Bright Green (old server) or Bright Red (new server) planets, with:
 * Improved Rocket and Laser Gun givers
 * Coloured suits with Jetpack abilities
 * Sparkle plates

Glitches
The problem with good games is that glitches are easy to spot, and Solar Conquest is no exception. At least three glitches exist:
 * The 'neutral' glitch. In a new system (and maybe an old one), anyone who steps on a certain selector (the blue Dlentev selector in a new system) in the Undecided room and steps off quickly is classified as neutral. This is a small problem if you die, especially for non-VIPs, as you get stuck in the middle of the place and keep falling to your death, whereas VIPs get a teleport to the VIP room. Some players occasionally make the neutral team a new team, calling the White or Black planet something related to the word 'neutral'.
 * The 'carrier' glitch. When you activate the special of a Carrier or Gunship (the forcefield special) and jump out of the pilot's seat, you can clone and move the forcefield around. Be sure to anchor it though - it falls away if not.
 * The 'escape' glitch. When you manage to get a seat into the Undecided room, and you resize it to touch the roof, then you sit on it, you can escape from the Undecided room. This gives you a forcefield that shields you and any ships you control from rockets and lasers for much longer than usual.
