Fleet nodes

Build faster, fly further, carry more, hit harder: fleet nodes improve your ships in every way.

The fleet category is the second largest in the network and sits entirely in the third branch, which starts at the recycler nodes. For six properties there is a general node for all ships and many specific nodes for individual ship types: build time, cargo capacity, fuel, speed, attack and defense.

Who benefits?

Tips

  • Specialize: a specific node is just as strong as the general one – but only for one ship. It pays off when that ship is the core of your fleet. General and specific nodes work together.
  • Speed, attack and defense only switch on after a random waiting time once you save. Place them well before planned battles.
  • Build time and fuel reductions apply multiplicatively and are capped at 90 %. Speed, cargo, attack and defense simply add up.
  • Lower fuel use saves Spice on every flight – especially with large fleets over long distances.
