Learning About Other Player's Hulls

More about Hull Design

Playing Stars!

When you encounter an opponent's ship, you automatically detect its basic hull type. If you enter into a battle with the ship, you learn which components are used in the design as well. To review enemy hull designs:

1.        Select Enemy Hulls.

2.        Click in the hulls dropdown and select a design.

Tip: You can use Copy Selected Design to clone a known enemy ship design (although the results may not be perfect).

A schematic of the ship displays its details. If you've encountered the ship in passing, only an empty schematic is displayed. If you've met that devil in battle, all the components are displayed. Right-click on a component to display further details.

The War Mongers possess the nasty ability to know all ship designs the second they see them and don't have to fight them in battle to figure things out.

Trading Hull Designs

You can use the Transfer Fleets waypoint task to trade hull designs with other players. To receive a fleet you must have less than 16 different designs (the maximum allowed). You will also need to to meet the research requirements for any new hull components before you can build ships based on the new design.

You cannot receive fleets from someone you have specified as an Enemy.
