BASIC GAME MECHANICS
Match: In Universe 51: Tannhäuser Wars, you are part of a group facing an enemy group. Both teams have points, called tickets. You use one of your team's tickets each time you respawn. When a team has 0 tickets, nobody from that team can respawn. Once every member of a team is dead and that team has no tickets left, that team loses the match.
Character stats: Your character has two basic stats. Health and stamina. You lose health when you're damaged, and you die once you have no HP left. Stamina is used for sprinting and double jumping.
WEAPONS
In Tannhäuser Wars there are two types of weapons at the moment.
Ammo weapons have clips, and they work just like any regular clip weapon would. Shoot 1 bullet and the number goes down. Press R to reload.
Temperature weapons don't have ammo.
Shooting raises the temperature, and not shooting allows the weapon to cool down.
Once this number gets to 100%, there's a forced cooldown period.

IN-GAME CURRENCY
Currency can be used to buy cosmetics at the store (not yet available at the start of Early Access).
There are two currencies in Universe 51: Tannhäuser Wars. They are Credits and Roylium. Credits are the most abundant of the two, while Roylium is more uncommon.
Currently the only way to earn them is by playing matches. Later through the development process we will implement a microtransaction system in which you'll be able to buy any of these currencies with real money.
