The Starbase is a space station used to claim star systems and expand your borders. Construction ships can construct the following:ħ5 per hyperlane from closest owned system Construction ships also have a Fleet Order that makes them build mining and research stations automatically.

They are not used up during construction, meaning that they can go on to do other tasks after they have finished their building project.

They can also be set to a passive stance to ignore hostile fleets.Ĭonstruction ships are used to build every space structure. Construction and Science ships cost 100 alloys to build.Ĭivilian ships use the evasive fleet stance by default, meaning that they will attempt to escape the system whenever a hostile fleet enters it. Each civilian ship, excluding transports, has a monthly maintenance cost of 1 energy. Their shields, armor, and core components are automatically upgraded once the next tier component tech is unlocked at no cost, and they do not need to return to a Starbase to receive component upgrades. Civilian ships represent all unarmed vessels of an empire and are controlled individually.
