How to build ships?

[Kaur119]

what do i need to build the ship:?:

[Merthos]

You need (everything on the same star system):
- a shipyard with level at least equal to the hull level you want to build
- the hull
- enough drives (some hulls need more than one drive, all drives have to be the same level, drive level max hull level + 2)

With this you can build a ship. Of cause some additional shields and weapons would be nice.

PPS: Better to start a new thread for a new question, you are really OT here. Lebia, would you please make a new one?

Question: Is there any use at all in creating a ship without weapons?

[Lebia]

No, I don't think so.
Well, you could say it was good for determent, but in my opion you are not able to hold up this hocus-pocus for a long time.

Is it possible to build a ship with no drive? if I armed a couple probes for example with no intention of taking them away from my HP, could they be built and left as "orbital Defense"

[alphabravo]

no... you can get D1s, but it is really worth getting the proper drive levels (also low level components can be really hard to get rid of, and very annoying to own)

And a low-tech ship is of no use for defence. A H1 is good enough to conqure non-neutral planets, but if you meet an armed player, you'll need lots (and I mean LOTS) of probes to tackle even a H4.

If a ship is not armed, it will not reurn fire, and you will fully rely on your WP. Anyway, surviving an attack with only H1s in defence is really not an option
