The Alpha zone is a zone designed to make new players familiar with the game. You will only find
unexperienced players in here, since the players that reached 2000 points can't enter this zone
anymore. This allows you to fly around, get familiar with the controls and kill a few fellow newbies
without being hammered by the experienced players.
The settings used in this zone are close to SVS settings. SVS stands for Standard Vie Settings, the
settings that subspace was meant to use. These settings were made by VIE, the company that released SubSpace.
The advantage of these settings is that everything is very balanced. Each ship has it's own strengths and
weaknesses, and the only thing that makes you different than other players is your skill.
You will find these settings in some other zones too, such as Warzone and
Chaos Expert.
When you feel that you are familiar with the controls, you should head out to a different zone for greater
glory. You will find a wide variety of zones, and you will pick a few that match your playing style. You will
probably get your butt kicked very badly in the beginning. The people that have been playing longer than you
are simply better. Don't leave a zone when you get killed a few times in a row ; it's the best way to learn
how to play the game.
