This is how each system works:
Star System
The Star System serves as a the main lobby for the planetary conquest of the Inner Sphere.The planets serve as game modes for the players.The layout is a 3D hexagonal map of the Inner Sphere with empty hexagons for movement and planets on hexagon for planet battles. If the player wins the planet, it will change into the color of their affiliation.
Droships
Dropships serve as the player's transport and grouping for other players. The movement is a click-and-point system. Based on the player's affiliation, they show the insignia of that faction.Optional features allows the player to paint and name their dropships just like BattleMechs.
Warships
Unlike the dropship they are A.I. controlled, meaning they can move individually without using the point-and-click system. If Warships are friendly they serve as banks and suppliers.For enemies,they serve as the guardians of the Inner Sphere borders and their own capitals, avoid Warships at all costs. However,if they manage to catch you they will take your inventory stripping you down to one mech and the weapons systems installed on it and deport you out of their border.In addition to being caught, they take a random amount of C-bills from you. For Merc Corps they serve as contractors and they won't hurt you unless if you work for another faction.
Jumpships
Jumpships transport you to another star system in case if the current one is too crowded.
