About Hull Design
Picking the right hull design can make or break a fleet. A good combination of all three hull designs can make for a great armada.
Frigate Ships have two different types of Armor : Nano Armor and Neutralizing Armor . Nano Armor minimizes the damage dealt by Heat and Explosive Weapons while Neutralizing Armor minimizes the damage dealt by Magnetic and Explosive Weapons. To see more information about Armor, see theArmor Types page.
Cruiser Ships have two different types of Armor : Chrome Armor and Regen Armor . Chrome Armor minimizes the damage dealt by Heat and Kinetic Weapons while Regen Armor minimizes the damage dealt by Kinetic and Magnetic Weapons. To see more information about Armor, see the Armor Types page.
Battleships have four different types of Armor : Chrome Armor , Regen Armor , Nano Armor , and Neutralizing Armor .

Special Hull ships are ships that have unique features to each ship. Special Hull ships can be either Frigates , Cruisers , Battleships or Flagships (which is a special Light Armor Ship). Most Special Hull Ships have great volume capacity, the most He3 storage and the best shields with the exception of Industrial ship, the only ship which basically has 0 shields. The lower classed special hull ships can be obtained from Blueprints, but most of the Special Hull Ships can only be obtained by using Badges. Badges are earned from Restricted Instances. Each Special Hull ship has its special bonuses for attack and defense.
There are two forms of flagships available, the regular (old/classic) Flagships and newer Humaroid-Flagships
