Cruiser

Cruisers are fast combat ships suited to Light Fighter and Rocket Launcher targets.

Base statistics

Property	Value
Structural integrity	60,000
Shield	100
Attack	900
Speed	18,000
Cargo capacity	1,750
Fuel coefficient	450

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	45,000
Crystal	15,000
Deuterium	5,000

Requirements: Shipyard 5.

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

Missile Technology adds extra Cruiser attack when Weapon Technology 1 is completed. This is available without an exclusive Military focus. Avoid relying on a Cruiser-heavy fleet against Battlecruisers.

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