Fleet and Ships

Fleet & Ships

Fleets are the backbone of expansion, warfare, logistics, and exploration in Per Regna.

Ships are divided into:

• Combat Vessels – Damage dealers, tanks, siege units
• Support Vessels – Logistics, salvage, scouting, buffs
• Capital & Prestige Ships – Endgame strategic powerhouses

Each Realm unlocks new tiers of fleet capability.

Fleet Combat Fundamentals

Every ship has:

• Attack – Base damage output
• Defense – Structural durability
• Shield – Damage absorption layer
• Speed – Travel speed
  • Time a flight, yours or another player's, with the Flight Time Calculator (Realm 3+).
• Cargo Capacity – Resource transport ability
• Fuel Consumption – Operational cost
• Target Priority – Determines engagement order
• Rapid Fire – Multi-hit advantage versus specific targets

For deeper mechanics, see:

• Rapid Fire
• Targeting and Priority
• Damage and Shields

Sending a Fleet

• Most missions open the send screen from a target on the map (planet, debris, asteroid, nebula, system center).
• Long-press the Fleet button to open the send screen without a target: it lists the ships in your current colony and starts as a Dispatch to the colony itself. Enter the destination coordinates in the next step before launching. When the target planet has a moon, a moon button at the end of the coordinates switches the target to the moon, and a planet button switches back.
• A tap on the Fleet button still opens the fleet list.
• Missions that need a specific ship mark it with a yellow border in the ship list: Probe for Scout, Recycler or Advanced Recycler for Collect Debris, Colony Ship for Colonize, Orbital Refinery for Harvest and Explorer Ship for Survey. The fleet must include at least one of them.
• Scout starts with probes already selected: your Spy Probe Count setting (1 by default), capped to the probes in the colony.
• Changing the coordinates in the send screen checks what is at the new position and updates the mission list to match: own colony (Transport, Dispatch, Collect), allied colony (Transport, Station), enemy or pirate planet or moon (Scout, Attack, Collect Debris), empty planet (Colonize, or Collect Debris when there is debris), asteroid field (Harvest), nebula center (Scout), nebula zone (Explore, Harvest), system center (own alliance: Station, Donate, Harvest, Survey; diplomatic ally: Station; guarded or rival: Scout, Attack) and Riftwake structures (Scout, Attack; Station on a Wakeheart your side holds). If the current mission is not available there, the first available one is selected. If nothing is at the coordinates, the fleet cannot be sent.

Realm 1 Ships (Foundation Era)

Realm 1 introduces core fleet roles: scouting, raiding, hauling, colonization, and early heavy combat.

Support Ships

Probe Basic scout ship for espionage and expeditions. Extremely fast. Minimal combat capability.

Cargo Ship Primary early logistics vessel with strong cargo capacity.

Recycler Collects debris fields after battles. Key economic accelerator in early PvE/PvP cycles.

Colony Ship Establishes new colonies and enables multi-planet expansion.

Combat Ships

Kamikaze Cheap early skirmisher. Effective against probes via Rapid Fire.

Fighter Backbone early combat unit. Balanced attack, mobility, and cost.

Battleship Realm 1 flagship heavy hitter. High durability and firepower for early dominance.

---

Realm 2 Ships (Expansion Era)

Realm 2 introduces specialization, convoy protection, rare materials, and fleet role diversity.

Escort & Support

Corvette Convoy escort ship. Strong defensive profile for protection roles.

Freighter Large-scale hauling vessel. Massively increased cargo capacity over Cargo Ship.

Frigate Shield-support and science utility ship. Provides fleet synergy.

Orbital Refinery Orbiting support platform that boosts asteroid/solar node resource intake.

Combat Escalation

Cruiser Durable frontline tank. Strong Rapid Fire against lighter ships.

Destroyer Anti-shield specialist. Counters tanks and shield structures.

Bomber Anti-defense specialist. Designed for base cracking and turret suppression.

---

Realm 3 Ships (High-Technology Era)

Realm 3 introduces Elerium-tier ships, deeper synergy, and advanced fleet compositions.

Advanced Combat Ships

Heavy Cruiser Durable mainline warship. Forms backbone of advanced fleets.

Dreadnought Siege-focused warship. High Rapid Fire vs cruisers, domes, and defenses.

Capital Support Ships

Carrier Capital support ship that launches autonomous drones. Anchors fleet formations.

Advanced Recycler Mid-to-late salvage vessel with improved debris efficiency.

Science Vessel Deep PvE vessel. Unlocks anomalies and improves expedition safety.

Planetary Harvester Surface-based industrial crawler. Boosts planetary resource output. (Not space-capable)

---

Realm 4 Ships (Ascension Era)

Realm 4 unlocks prestige-tier fleets and strategic endgame dominance.

⚔ Endgame Combat Ships

Battlecruiser High-tier frontline warship. Major durability and firepower scaling.

Titan Prestige dreadnought with siege-focused abilities.

Colossus Planet-cracking siege platform. Designed for strategic objectives.

High-End Support

Support Vessel Repair and buff platform. Sustains fleets in extended engagements.

Megahauler Massive logistics vessel. Enables alliance-scale supply contracts.
