Question - I have just activated the Starbase money transfer advantage and it doesn't seem to work. I'm a standard member, is this the reason?

Thanks in advance

No, premium membership isn't required for campaign features. But are you sure you are in a game with campaign features? You can check this in the game descriptions. And if so, you have to activate it before you join a game, activating a new feature in a running game isn't possible.

I checked the games you're in, and neither of them have Campaign features enabled. @Coolman was correct about the cause.

@Coolman was also correct about the timing for enabling Campaign Features. When a player joins a Campaign game, the abilities for that slot are set to whatever the player has currently enabled. This allows a player to enable the Campaign features they wish to use in a game, join the game, then turn off the features. By doing this, the other players in the game don't know what features the slot has.

I recommend activating all advantages even if you go over 500.

This means if you forget to cancel them you will get a message saying you have too many advantages and you can then realise its a campaign game or you forgot to change it.

If you deactivate them all you may join a game with no additional advantages and curse half way through when you realise you cannot use that SB extra mission or build that extra ship etc.

So you change the advantages to get to 500 for that specific game. Join then activate all the advantages to get over 500 again so no one knows which you cancelled.

If you are below 500 points everyone knows you will have them all activated. If you have a full list with deactivated next to them people know you have them.

You can risk a weird 500 set up that you would never use (by deactivating FCC for the Borg or the Alchemy ships for everyone else) just to confuse everyone into what you chose.

But I know if I did that I would forget and then join a game with that set up and wonder why I did not have the FCC as the Borg etc!
