Hull
Revision as of 22:52, 22 July 2010
Hull is one of the ten basic ship statistics that will define your capabilities in the game. Together with Shields, it represents the durability of your ship. Your current Hull integrity is represented by a red bar in the upper left portion of your screen (below Energy, and above Shield).
Benefits
Damage from attacks is used first to reduce your Shield, and then any further damage reduces your Hull. If your Hull is reduced to 0, your ship is disabled.
Comparison vs. Shields
Pros
- More space/HP efficient than shields.
Cons
- Hull damage must be repaired manually, at a cost in Credits (this cost rises exponentially with your rank and can eventually become quite large).
- Additionally, Hull damage can only be repaired once every five minutes (without the help of Artifacts or Legion members).
Improvements
Hull can be improved by installing Hull Modules on your ship.
