Named Ships, Arcon and Flight Modes

Named Ships, Arcon and Flight Modes

Your ships have names now. The Shipyard still builds the same classes. This update adds Arcon. You can spend energy to go faster.

Names

The classes you already know keep their jobs. They now show in the Shipyard and on the map as:

  • Scout is Solis
  • Colony Ship is Cuna
  • Freighter is Fardel
  • Construction Ship is Rig
  • Corvette is Stinger
  • Cruiser is Lance
  • Battleship is Thar

Courier and Velos show there too.

Stats and modules live on the ships page.

Arcon

Arcon unlocks with Hazardous Planets Colonisation. It is a bulk hauler with 12,000 inventory. Loaded trips run longer than Fardel.

Compare it next to Fardel and Velos on Arcon.

Cruise, Burn and Sprint

From the ship or fleet drawer you set Cruise, Burn or Sprint.

  • Cruise is the normal pace
  • Burn is 1.5x speed at 2x energy
  • Sprint is 2.5x speed at 4x energy

Heavier inventory costs more

Flight cost grows with inventory mass versus the ship. Range shortens as the load grows. Speed does not change with inventory.

Clear skies, commanders.
