Battle Experience Points (BEP) are awarded for killing enemy empire personnel
and capturing their bases and facilities. As you accumulate BEP you advance in
Battle Rank (BR). As you advance in Battle Rank, you earn Certification Points and gain access to Implant Slots.
As you advance in Battle Rank the cosmetic appearance of your armor changes.
These changes occur at BR7, BR14 and
BR18. For the Terran Republic, your armor becomes more red than
black. For the New Conglomerate, your armor becomes more yellow than blue. For
the Vanu Sovereignty, your armor becomes more green than purple.
Recent updates, version 3.2.12 introduced January 19, 2005, increased the BR
limit from 20 to 23 and later to 25.
Successfully capturing an enemy facility earns a squad leader Command
Experience Points (CEP) instead of BEP. As a character accumulates CEP, they
earn Command Rank (CR) which, in turn, gives the character certain benefits
useful to commanders. Below are some of these abilities and the cosmetic changes
to your uniform. The uniform changes do not benefit your armor in any way.
