4. What happens after Ascension
First off, you will lose most of what you have acquired during pre-ascension. You will lose all of your weapons, troops, untrained troops, miners, mercinaries, unit production, covert and anti-covert levels, your mothership, your commander and then some. Keep in mind that you do, however; keep your lifers. All those lost things (UU, soldiers etc.) will be 'weighed on a scale' and grant bonuses to your account on the Ascended server (only unlocked when you ascend!). You will receive a normal supporter status bonus and a free Protected Planets Treaty (you cannot be attacked or sabotaged while you are on this). And you get the ability to send resources and you can continue to trade on the market if you had Market SS pre-ascension.
