Ship Management
The Ships list on the left is sorted by ships with officers first, ships with no officer second. Clicking and dragging becomes useful as the number of ships increases. The assigned officer provides additional powers for use in combat, and may provide bonuses from traits. No ship can leave the base without an assigned officer, but ships can fight without one if the officer is deployed when combat starts or if the officer died in ground combat. The ship name is in blue. The pencil button allows you to change it. The faction, class, and type will remind you what this ship was if the new name does not include the default one. The repair button is only useful if you want to be sure that your ships are at full hull before spending dark matter on other things. Scrapping ships returns all the crew and some of the dark matter. You will get a confirmation message displaying the exact amounts. The customize button will allow you to pick from available loadouts if the ship is docked at the starbase.
Stats
- Hull When this reaches 0, the ship goes into Critical Condition. When in Critical Condition, any damage whatsoever can destroy the ship. The chance of destruction increases with the amount of damage taken.
- Damage This is the base that powers multiply off of. The actual damage range is visible when selecting a target during battle.
- Aim This is the chance of hitting your target if the opponent has 0 evasion. Some powers have reduced values.
- Evasion Each point of evasion decreases the opposing aim by 1%.
- Speed Higher values yield more turns in a given space of time.
- Critical This is the chance that any given attack does twice as much damage as it otherwise would have.
Traits
When you research upgrades at the appropriate hanger, the upgrade will appear hear for quick reference. Other upgrades may be applied during the course of the main story.
Elite Crew
When a ship wins a set number of battles, you will get a notification indicating that a new Cadet, Crewman, Petty Officer, or Ensign has joined the ship. Elite Crew provide stat boosts to that ship only. They are lost when scrapping the ship.
Resistances
Every ship has resistances or vulnerabilities to the main status effects. This displays the values as affected by traits or the assigned officer.
