Designing Ship and Starbase Hulls
Playing Stars!
Use the Ship Designer dialog to create, edit and delete new ship and starbase designs. Once you create a new ship design you can add it to the production queue of any of your planets that has a starbase with a space dock.
You don't need a starbase present to build another starbase. If your colony has the resources, just add the starbase to the queue.
Maximum Number of Designs, Ships and Fleets
There are limits to the number of designs, ships and fleets you can have in the game. Develop strategies that take these limits into account.
♦ Different ship designs per player: 16
♦ Total ships of each design in a fleet: 32,000
♦ Fleets per player: 512
♦ Different starbase designs per player: 10
Determining the Number of Fleets: To determine the number of fleets you currently have select Report/Fleets. The total count of your fleets is displayed in the title bar of the report.
