Battle values for different ship friendly codes:

Please note:

• The ship with the lowest battle value is the most aggressive and will fight first.
• If two ships have the same battle value, the lower ID# ship will fight first.
• Ships without Primary Enemy or mission ‘Kill’ set will only fight if they are being attacked.
• All codes that don’t have exactly three numbers will be given a base battle value of 1015.
• Battle values do not apply in the “Priority Intercept Attack” sub-phase (otherwise known as “cloaked intercept”), which happens before all other combat (and is processed in reverse ship ID# order).
• The above friendly codes are examples; of course you can put any code.
• Matching friendly codes will not fight.
• Exceptions are NUK and ATT (ship to planet combat) and NTP, MKT and LFM (ship to ship combat).
• One- and two-digit friendly codes are known to be unreliable and so are not included in this chart.  While errors have been recorded with low-value numeric codes, our testing indicates that these are more likely due to matching than any other cause.
