Your fleet can consist of one to five ships at a time. There are four parts that require managing: the crew, the stations, the weapons, and the ships themselves.
Your fleet can consist of one to five ships at a time. There are four parts that require managing: the crew, the stations, the weapons, and the ships themselves. You can get the basics of each at Trade Co, Anskad, and/or Tharkad, but the best elements are scattered among other trade ports.

====Navigation====
====Navigation====
Normally, ships cannot move on their own unless they have a navigation console manned and energy allocated to engines. (The exception occurs when exiting battle.) The speed of the ship is determined by the formula: (speed class x engine energy) + (0.03 x crewman navigation level) = pixels per second in battle. Map speed will be 1.25 times the speed of the fastest ship in the fleet.

The speed of the ship is determined by the formula: (speed class x engine energy) + (0.03 x crewman navigation level) = pixels per second in battle. Map speed will be 1.25 times the speed of the fastest ship in the fleet.

====Tactical====
====Tactical====
Weapons cannot be turned on or fired without a tactical console manned. The damage formula is (100 + crewman tactical level)% of weapon base damage.

====Scanning====
====Scanning====
Most ships have a base accuracy of 60%. (Scouts only have 15%.) If you have a scanner manned on any ship, you will be able to see ship profiles on the map screen. You will also be able to see the entirety of the battle screen. Crewman add 1% accuracy per scanning level when assigned to any scanner. Accuracy cannot exceed 100%.

====Engineering====
====Engineering====
Engineering consoles repair armor and shields over time, and auto repair hull breaches and fires. They only affect the ship they are equipped on. Crewman increase the ship's engineering stat by one for each engineering level. The added bonus from the higher tiers is not worth the energy, so you are better off equipping multiple MKI's, unless you are using the auto repair function frequently.

====Entertainment====
====Entertainment====
Crew rarely need entertainment, especially since disembarking them will cure all boredom. You only need entertainment stations on your accessory ships, and that only if they have normal crew aboard. Entertainment stations' energy requirements match their tiers. The Jukebox and Game Console normally fill one station slot, but you can slide them underneath Med Boxes and TV's if both are already installed on the same ship. TV's take one slot ''horizontally,'' so you will probably want to slide something under them to conserve space.

====Medical====
====Medical====
Healing stations will relieve the stress on your Healthpack supply, allowing you to save those for situations where you cannot get back to the ship without dying. Healing stations follow the standard requirement pattern, except that the Med Box only requires half of a station slot.

The Artillery has the fastest travel time of any weapon. It passes through anything and everything in its way as it flies out of the map, but it deals less damage after each collision. If you get it to travel horizontally along a ship, it may damage it twice. Artillery is good for getting first strikes when the map is full of asteroids. Nukes are only good if they are charged when you enter battle, and they do not miss. Otherwise, they do less damage than a Terran 30mm Gatling Cannon. The 60 damage per hit looks enticing, but the reload time makes it almost worthless. The Death Beam is technically a particle weapon, so it follows the same damage formula. It travels only slightly slower than Artillery. At full power, it deals more damage in a minute than any other single weapon.

Players can control 21 different ships spread out among four size classes. In general, more expensive ships are better than less expensive ships. The number of ships and size of those ships affects the random fleets that appear on the Starmap. Story-based fleets will be constant no matter what you have in your fleet. All ships provide the same amount of storage space no matter what size they are.

Corvettes are good for adding firepower or cargo space, and they can also be used as your main ship. The Old Empire Corvette that you start with has the most gun slots, but other than that, every other corvette is an improvement in some way. The Suna Corvette is the cheapest and has the most shields, high energy, and high space, but it only offers one gun slot. It is good for when you want to use a high-energy weapon (like Artillery) yet cannot afford the Kursha Corvette. The Anoa Corvette has the lowest space and energy, but it has more armor than the Old Empire Corvette. The Human Corvette MKII has the highest speed and a little shielding, but it sacrifices five extra armor for those shields. The Kaidun Corvette is the all-around best, so you should get it unless you want one of the other ships' strengths. The Kursha Corvette has the highest energy and better than average speed, so it can be almost as fast as the Human Corvette MKII, and still have extra energy. If you want speed, you should buy this, unless you don't have the cash.

It is all around better than an Old Empire Corvette, but it barely costs more than a Kursha Corvette. This is a good choice when you want an upgrade that keeps your weapon slots without costing 40,000 dy.
