Starfleets

Starfleet Customization

Starship Class	Slots Required
Light	1
Medium	2
Heavy	3

Each StarStarfleet has 8 slots. Starships take up a different number of slots based on their class and can be mixed and matched – as long as the Starfleet includes at least one Heavy or Medium Starship. 

Starfleets can be customized while on any Outpost that belongs to your Faction, or if given permission, another Faction’s Outpost. You can swap out Starships, add new ones and apply Assets. Starfleets cannot make any changes to their roster or inventory during a Space Battle. To add a Starship, Asset, or Cargo to a Starfleet, it must be in the same System as the Starfleet.

Upgrades are assigned directly to Starships or a Starfleet owned by your Faction. 

Assign additional RP to your Starfleet as required by each Upgrade. The Asset and the Starfleet/Starship need to be in the same System.

Action Assets can be carried by a Starfleet and used at any time, except during a Space Battle.

Cargo

Starships carry Cargo in their Cargo Bays – their number is tied to the Score.

This table calculates the amount of Cargo Bays for your Starships, rounding down:

Size Class	Commercial	Military
Light	1 Bay per 10 XP	0 Bays
Medium	1 Bay + 1 Bay per 8 XP	1 Bay per 12 XP
Heavy	2 Bays + 1 Bay per 6 XP	1 Bay per 10 XP

This table shows how many Bays each type of Cargo takes up, and which Starship class can carry it:

Cargo Type	Bays Occupied	Starship Type
25 RP	1 Bay	Commercial
25.000 Credits	1 Bay	Commercial
Asset	1 Bay	Commercial/Military
Light Starship	2 Bays	Military
Ground Unit	2 Bays	Military

Moving a Starfleet

Each Starfleet can move once a week.

A Starfleet grants IP Access to any System while it is located on it.

Fleets are by default equipped with a Class 4 Hyperdrive; they can move 3 Grids per week.

Fleets travel at this speed while traveling on hyperspace lanes, which are illustrated as lines on the Map.

Movement speed is calculated by the number of Grids a hyperspace lane passes through. Starfleets can only move on one hyperspace lane at a time – so if a Starfeet needs to switch lanes, it has to wait a week before proceeding.

Choosing to travel “off-lane” reduces your movement speed to 1 Grid a week, regardless of Hyperdrive Class. This way a Fleet can move to any System located in its eight adjacent Grids. Light Starships carried by another Starship are not counted when determining the Hyperdrive Class of a Fleet. 

Hyperdrive Class	Movement speed per week
6	1 Grid
5	2 Grids
4	3 Grids
3	5 Grids
2	7 Grids
1	9 Grids
0.5	12 Grids
