Overview

The Support Vessel is a Realm 4 sustain hull. Surviving Support Vessels restore combat ships during battle through field repairs — each vessel brings back at most one combat ship per round (battle reports show repair totals when they contribute).

Special capabilities

Field repairs

Each surviving Support Vessel restores at most one friendly combat ship per combat round (after damage)
The field-repair hull budget is shared by all surviving vessels, so several vessels together can restore a heavy hull (e.g. a Titan). That ship still uses only one per-round slot
Allies too — in FCS attacks and when stationed as a guardian, your vessels also repair other players' ships on your side. 80% of your vessels (rounded in your favour) repair your own losses first and 20% repair allies' losses first. Every player's own repairs happen before anyone's ally repairs
Idle vessels help the other group: with no losses of your own, all your vessels repair allies; with no allied losses, all repair your ships. Fewer than 5 vessels means none are set aside for allies, though leftover capacity still helps them
Built for long PvP, expeditions, and FCS fights where attrition matters
Pair with screened capitals (Carrier) so repairs are not deleted in the opening volley

Fleet buffs

Late-game sustain and expedition support — treat it as a rear-line investment, not a frontliner.

Strategic Use

Essential in prolonged capital fights and deep expedition fleets
Protect with screens and tanks; a dead repair ship stops contributing immediately
Check battle reports for field-repair lines to judge whether you brought enough
