Fast class (Destroyer) ships get a -20% XP discount. Heavy class (Hardship) ships cost +20% more XP.
Battleship · 18 ships · Standard XP cost
Mobile warships built for player vs player combat. High broadside armament, good speed, and balanced armor. The most popular class for PvP.
Hardship · 13 ships · +20% XP cost
Tanky ships of the line with massive broadside firepower and high HP. Slow and difficult to maneuver, but devastating in fleet battles.
CargoShip · 11 ships · Standard XP cost
High-capacity cargo haulers with large hold sizes. Still carry weapons but sacrifice combat ability for economy. Best for trading and resource runs.
Destroyer · 11 ships · -20% XP cost (discount)
The fastest ships in the game. Lightly armed and armored, but capable of outrunning anything. Used for raiding, intercepting, and escaping.
Mortar · 9 ships · Standard XP cost
Mortar-equipped vessels that excel at bombarding stationary targets — forts, ports, and anchored ships. Unique plunging fire that ignores armor angle.
