Ships overview
Information
In Nemexia, ships are the units thanks to which players interact. Ships are sent on Flights, in which they fulfill different types of missions. Every type of ship has certain characteristics which determine how powerful, resilient, fast, etc. a ship is.
Some types of ships have requirements, which have to be fulfilled for the ship to be built.Requirements like the level of the Shipyard (the Shipyard must be at least at level 1 in order for ships to be built at all) or researched level of a certain science(s).Ships also require certain amounts of resources to be built, they require economic resources (Metal, Minerals and Gas) but they also require another resource to be available – free Population.In the case of the Race Noxis, some ships require other ships for their construction. In this case the required ship(s) mutates, into the one being built, and is (are) lost.If the player cancels a ship construction process in progress, they will receive 40% to 60% of the resources, for that process, back.The construction time for every unit is calculated like this:
- time_to_build = base_time_to_build*(1-shipyard_level*5%)*(1-terteths_facility_level*8%)
Where:
terteths_facility is Terteth facility/Terteth facility/Hypermutation cocoon.
base_time_to_build is Constructing time in units detailed page in Help section.
Some ships have Skills, which give them special abilities.Every ship has a weapon, which is one of the three types: Laser, Ion or Plasma.Every ship has armor, which is one of the three types: Light, Medium and Heavy.Ships can be upgraded, in order to make them better.

The civil ships are weak ships with special purpose. Each ship serves a different purpose depending on players needs.
Transport ships (Cargoship/Cargobot/Supplier and Megacargoship/Big Cargobot/Megasupplier) are ships with large cargo and small population use, that can be used to transport resources between your planets.
The Colonyship/Colonybot/Settler main purpose is to create new planets.
The Recycler/Tanker/Recycle Drone is the only ship that can gather space junks after battles, these space junks are called Scrap.
The Spy probe/Spybot/Nox mind is small ship with significant speed that can be send to spy enemy planets.
The Solar satellite/Solar satellite/Organic satellite is a glider that serves only to gather Sun energy and process it so you can use it on your planet.
These 7 types of battle ships are used on different stage of the game depending of your development.Each ship has its own priority target and can be most efficient against it.Battle ships (as their name predict) are used especially to interact with other players by Attacking them.They can also carry some resource but their cargo is small and cant be compared with the transport ships.Each batthe ship has special skill that can apply in battle. Most of them are unique and very useful.
