Ship Strength
Ship strength is listed for the members of your legion. It is the sum of their attack and defense points. This value gives players an indication of the relative abilities of the members in your legion. This value changes as players shift weapons, defenses, add crew, use an artifact, or complete missions with bonuses.
This in a good indication of the players' combat capability at any given moment. How ever, it does not include other stats which also affect players' survivability in combat, protection from hacking or hacking abilities, and success in stopping raiders or raiding ability.
