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. Your own losses come first: up to 80% of your vessels (rounded in your favour) repair your ships using your full repair capacity, so a heavy hull is never skipped to save room for allies. The other 20% repair allies with the capacity left. Every player's own repairs happen before anyone's ally repairs
- Nothing is wasted on the split: with no losses of your own, all your vessels and capacity repair allies; alone in a battle, or with no allied losses, all repair your ships; anything allies cannot use comes back to you. Fewer than 5 vessels means none are kept 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
- Minimum build time: 200 ms per vessel (Minimum build time)
