Fleet Member Window

The fleet member window serves as the management interface for fleet members. It can be opened by selecting the member in the fleet window, and clicking the info  icon.

Configuration

The Configuration tab displays the member’s attributes, capabilities and skills in the upper section of the panel], and its hull configuration in the lower section.

Skills are gained when the member first uses them, and improved through use. Attributes start at a base level and improve over time as the member uses skills that depend on those attributes.

Ships have a static size and cannot be increased, although the module allocations can be changed within the available size. Structures can be expanded to any size and will have additional tools available to assist.

Equipment

The Equipment tab displays the specific equipment installed in the member, which will affect its capabilities. The top of the panel shows the member’s store of mirror field or ablative armour charges which improve the effectiveness of deflector fields and armour respectively. The available capacity is directly related to the number of modules dedicated to the relevant equipment.
