Hierarchy_of_ship_types

At the top level, there are three different ways to categorize ships, depending on the situation. Mostly, though, the hierarchy consists of three levels: class, model, and variant.

Use[]

Going by use, there are two types of ships - utility ships and warships. Utility ships being the only ships that can mine or construct outposts and mining platforms, and only 1 to a fleet.

Command Points[]

In the game, a faction is only allowed to build as many ships as they have command points for. Points are divided up into three separate pools: utility ships, capital ships, and aircraft.

Construction and purchase[]

To build or purchase a ship, the faction must have an appropriate dockyard. To build a ship, the faction must have a compatible shipyard and the blueprints. Dockyards go mostly by Class, except for hangars that can be used by both fighters and corevettes.

Shipyards come in three categories: capital shipyards for everything except aircraft, battlecruisers, and carriers. Aircraft are built by the Aircraft Assembly Line. The Super Capital Shipyard I and II are capable of building cruisers and up.

Ship class[]

All warships belong to one of the following classes:

• Fighter
• Corvette
• Frigate
• Destroyer
• Cruiser
• Battlecruiser
• Carrier

Each class consists of a number of models.

Model[]

Each model consists of one to three variants that are all similar in appearance and construction.

Variant[]

The lowest level of the hierarchy, though not necessarily a guarantee of equality. In addition to the effects of enhancement and adjustment, battlecruisers have optional modifications that are available through the research process.
