Wayfinder

The Wayfinder is a civilian Exploration ship with more combat capability than a probe or cargo ship.

Base statistics

Property	Value
Structural integrity	25,000
Shield	150
Attack	225
Speed	18,000
Cargo capacity	25,000
Fuel coefficient	100

These are base values before research. Structural integrity is not battle hull: combat uses one tenth of integrity. Fuel is a coefficient for the flight calculation, not a fixed price per trip.

Construction

Resource	Base cost per unit
Metal	10,000
Crystal	16,000
Deuterium	9,000

Requirements: Shipyard 6, Wayfinder Research 1, Gravitational Navigation 1.

Material Physics reduces the resource price. Use the construction screen for the modified quote and timer. Ship construction also costs Credits from this galaxy’s wallet; check the full quote before ordering.

Use and limitations

Both Wayfinder Research 1 and Gravitational Navigation 1 are construction requirements, even though each research can be purchased independently. Wayfinder Research improves its shields; Frontier Logistics and Hyperspace Technology improve cargo. Exploration can still lose the fleet.

Drive research modifies fleet speed. Its bonus grows by completed five-level research tiers, not fixed percentage points each level. Hyperspace Technology modifies cargo.

Espionage Probe	5
Solar Satellite	5

Rapidfire is a chance of another shot after a hit, not a guaranteed number of kills. See rapidfire and test important matchups in the simulator.
