 ==What are INACTIVE and ACTIVE pilots?==
-A player who has not logged on for 5 days is counted as Inactive. This means that they will not appear in the game at all, unless they log back into it. Pilots who have not made their first move in the game are also counted as Inactive. The system merely ignores them.

-Yes. On your account page, click on the "Vacation Mode" button ONCE. Eight turns later, your account will be suspended until you next log in. You only get two uses per game (and the second time it looks like it hasn't worked, although it actually has). So don't waste them.
