### Game Mechanics

- Line of Sight: Ships must have clear line of sight to target enemies (except for special abilities)

- Damage Calculation: Complex damage system with armor reduction

- Movement System: Ships can move and act in the same turn

- Threat Allocation: Build fleets within threat limits - powerful ships cost more threat, allowing fewer ships, while cheaper ships cost less threat but are less capable

- Ship Experience: Ships gain experience by destroying enemy ships, becoming more powerful without increasing their threat cost

- Ship Destruction: NFT ships can be permanently destroyed in combat, forcing players to choose between tactical objectives and ship preservation

- Risk vs Reward: Players must decide whether to sacrifice valuable ships to achieve victory or protect their fleet at the cost of tactical advantage

- Scoring System: Control strategic positions to earn victory points
