Fleets

Any number, the limits here are how much astros you have fleet on orbit.

You can land ships on 2 astros per base that you have.

If you occupy other players bases, it wont count.

The defense ship is a very useful piece of addition to any fleet.

It extends its shields to protect smaller ships, such as fighters, bombers, and heavy bombers.

When you are attacking, you do not need to enter a number into the defense ship field; it will act automatically, even if that unit is in another fleet in orbit of the same astro.

Example: you have 2 fleets on an astro, 1 of which has 10 defense ships. An enemy player lands and attacks the second fleet, which is composed by 100 fighters only. The shield distribution will be:

total of defense ships * it shields / total of small ships * hangar space needed

10 * 30 / 100 * 1

300 / 100 = 3

However, defense ships cannot extend the shields to cover more than 2 shield per ship.

in resume, your Fighters would fight as 4/4 (2) [ attack/defense (shield) ].

The Gateships are equivalent to Space Gates level 1, but mobile.

If you have a gate ship over one astro, any of your fleets of from your alliance can benefits the speed boost (+100% speed).

No matter if you have one or lots of gate ships, just 1 bonus apply.

While a fleet is heading to a coordinate, you can recall it any time.
The fleet will turn back to the original coordinate. Then, you can recall again turning back to the first destination! And so on, and on...

Yes, it is called Waypoints.

in the Move Fleet page, you can inform more than one coordinate. Or select more than one option in the Coords List with your bases, fleets, bookmarks and occupations.

After reaching the first destination, your fleet will wait the auto-launch that happen every 5 minutes server time (0m, 5m, 10m, ...)

You can use it to take the advantage of a base with Jumpgate, or more than one base, to finally reach your intended destiny.
