Warning! The training missions 1-5 assume you use the old default keybindings. If you have customized your keys, you will have to remap your spacebar to "Fire Weapon". That way you will be able to proceed, when you are told to press it.

7 Training Missions were released by MS with the original game. The 7th mission was removed since it was buggy, and has since been replaced by a nanning mission in FAZ R4.

A brief overview of the missions is given below.

# 1 - The Hanger

Importance for rookies: 2/5

  • A hands-off introduction to the basic menu system that Allegiance uses.
  • Pilots mostly use F4 (Ship Loadout), F3 (Command View), F8 (Transfer Station) and F2 (Launch ship).
  • Commanders mostly use F3 (Command View), F5 (Manage Investments) and F6 (Manage Team).
  • New players will want to familiarise themselves with F1 (Help menu).


# 2 - Communication and Flight

Importance for rookies: 3/5

  • A one-on-one session with an AI tutor who teaches you some of the basics:
  • How to talk to other players, including Private Messages and sending chats to "All".
  • How to make sense of your HUD
  • How to look around and move your ship.


# 3 - Basic Combat

Importance for rookies: 3/5

  • A one-on-one session with an AI tutor, where you get to blow up some immobile space debris.
  • How to fire your guns, select weapons, fire missiles, target enemies, etc.


# 4 - Intermediate Combat

Importance for rookies: 3/5

  • You get to fly to an adjacent sector, kill some enemy miners, and then defend a friendly constructor.
  • How to recognise alephs, use a cloaking device, and more.


# 5 - Basic Command

Importance for rookies: 1/5

  • This mission puts you in the Command seat, and teaches you the basics of running an economy.
  • How to make sense of the F3 Command view.
  • How to invest in Miners and order them around.


# 6 - Combat Arena

Importance for rookies: 4/5

  • A mission where you fight continuous waves of enemies until you die.
  • The first wave of enemy drones only attack the Miners, and hence are no threat to you. You shouldn't feel the least bit confident in your abilities until you can defeat drones which are attacking you.
  • These drones fly in straight lines, don't fire missiles, and never use boosters. Pretty dumb AI, eh? If you have difficulty defeating them, then imagine how you will go against a human player!
  • Remember: Practice makes, err, almost-not-cannon-fodder.


# 7 - Nanning

Importance for rookies: 5/5

  • In this mission you will be asked to repair a damaged station, defend a miner that is under attack, then defend a bomber as it attacks an enemy base.
  • This Mission was created by the community and represents scenarios that you will encounter in every game of Allegiance that you play. Mastery of this mission is essential to becoming a useful member of a team.
