UMADD Standard Fleet Setup:

UMADD matches are built on balance and fairness, starting with two perfectly matched fleets. Each team brings an equal lineup of ships—chosen within clear size and power limits—to ensure that skill and teamwork decide the outcome, not ship advantage.

This "standard fleet" format keeps things accessible for all players, using simple Tech-1 ships for fast, action-packed matches. With mirrored fleets facing off, every match is fun, fair, and competitive, giving everyone a real shot at victory. Bring your best tactics and fly as a team—the rest is up to you!

UMADD Standard Field:

The UMADD standard field is designed for exciting, replayable matches with clear zones for players, fans, and staff. The central Battlezone is where all main action happens, watched closely by referees to ensure fair play. Each team starts from its own Deployment Zone and can fall back to their Safe Zones for repairs or regrouping—no combat allowed there!

Penalty Zones mark off-limits areas for players, while NO-GO Zones are strictly enforced by Bouncers to keep everyone safe and the action flowing smoothly. Around the field, Fan Areas let spectators cheer on their teams, and the Party Zone/Ship Show is where teams can show off their ships and celebrate.

For those looking for extra chaos, enter the Mosh Pit for wild, party-style PvP after the main match wraps up! The field layout keeps gameplay organized, fair, and fun for everyone involved.
