Ship characteristics

Each ship has certain Characteristics, they determine how powerful, resilient, fast, Etc. a ship is as compared to another one. Here is a list, with brief explanations, of all ship Characteristics:

  • Attack – this is the amount of damage the ship deals (note that this is a base value and doesn’t represent bonuses from upgrades, sciences, etc.);
  • Life – this is the amount of damage that the ship can withstand before being destroyed (note that this is a base value and doesn’t represent bonuses from upgrades, sciences, etc.);
  • Weapon type – this is the type of weapon the ship uses, the three types are: Laser, Ion and Plasma.
  • Armor type – this is the type of armor the ship uses, the three types are: Light, Medium and Heavy.
  • Armor power – this number shows what percentage of the damage received will be deflected by the armor (Note that this is a base value and doesn’t represent any bonuses or reductions);
  • Upgrade per level – this percentage shows by how much the attack and life of a ship are increased with every level of upgrade; note that the ships Cargoship/Cargobot/Supplier and Megacargoship/Big cargobot/Megasupplier are upgraded for Cargo capacity, not for attack and life;
  • Population –this shows how much space, in the Hangars/Vault/Nesting grounds, each ship requires in order to be built. See (Population);
  • Cargo – the maximum amount of resources that can be loaded onto the ship. Cargo ships get their Cargo capacity improved, instead of attack and life, for every level of upgrade;
  • Speed – this value shows how quickly the ship can move when on a Flight. The higher the value, the faster the ship. Some sciences make ships faster;
  • Fuel consumption – the amount of Gas the ship needs to reach its target when on a Flight. Some sciences reduce fuel consumption;
  • Metal cost – the amount of Metal needed to construct one unit of this type of ship;
  • Minerals cost – the amount of Minerals needed to construct one unit of this type of ship;
  • Gas cost – the amount of Gas needed to construct one unit of this type of ship.
