Friendly Code cln

"cln" Clone. A ship code. This tells the starbase that you own and are in orbit with to make an exact copy of the ship with this code. The starbases' tech levels must be equal to or greater than the ship being cloned. This will in most cases
cancel out the normal starship building on the starbase any turn that there is a starship with this code in orbit. The cost of cloning a ship (megacredits) is 200% of the original cost of building the ship. The Privateers and Crystal People can not clone. You can not clone ships that your race can already build.

Once the games 500 ship limit is reached no more cloning can take place. If you have more than 20 Priority Build Points
you can both build a normal ship at a starbase while you are also cloning the ship.

The warp speed and waypoint of any ship that is being cloned (has the friendly code to cln) is set to 0 during the movment phase of the game.
