Ships are the basic unit of attack in Starfleet Commander. They require a Shipyard for building.

Ship Descriptions

Utility Ships (All universes, human)
Icon stealth probe class.png
Shadow Probe: Extremely fast probe used to spy on foreign worlds for tactical purposes. Probe is destroyed on use, but provides a complete espionage report regardless of the target's espionage tech level.
Icon regen solar satellite.png
Genesis Class Solar Satellite: The Genesis Solar Satellite is a power-providing ship unit that produces energy more efficiently than the Helios Solar Satellite. Although stationary and easily destroyed in a raid, it has a 70% chance of regenerating.
Hermes class.png
Hermes Class Probe: Extremely fast probes used to spy on foreign worlds for tactical purposes.
Requires: Shipyard.png 3 Jet drive.png 3 Espionage tech.png 2
Solar satellite.png
Helios Class Solar Satellite: The Helios Class is a power-providing ship unit. It is stationary and easily destroyed in a raid.
Requires: Shipyard.png 1
Zagreus.png
Zagreus Class Recycler: The Zagreus is used for collecting debris left behind in battle. It is faster than the Dionysus, but has a smaller cargo capacity. Send these on a harvest mission and you can collect the resources that float in debris fields around planets after battles.
Requires: Shipyard.png 2 Jet drive.png 3 Energy tech.png 3
Dionysus class.png
Dionysus Class Recycler: The Dionysus Class is used for collecting debris left behind in battle. Send these on a harvest mission and you can collect the resources that float in debris fields around planets after battles.
Requires: Shipyard.png 4 Jet drive.png 6 Shield tech.png 2
Gaia class.png
Gaia Class Colony Ship: The Gaia Class is used for colonizing new worlds. When sent to an empty planet spot, it will create a new world on which you can develop new mines and buildings, and deploy ships.
Requires: Shipyard.png 4 Pulse drive.png 3
Transport Ships
Atlas class.png
Atlas Class Cargo: The basic cargo ship. The Atlas Class is extremely efficient for hauling cargo between planets or from raids. You begin the game with one of these ships.
Requires: Shipyard.png 2 Jet drive.png 2
Carmanor.png
Carmanor Class Cargo: The Carmanor is the largest freight ship in the Universe. It's slower than the Atlas or Hercules but has the largest cargo capacity available making it ideal for moving large amounts of resources.
Requires: Shipyard.png 4 Jet drive.png 6 Shield tech.png 2
Charon class.png
Charon Class Transport: The Charon Class Transport is the only ship approved for civilian and droid transport. Each one is capable of ferrying 6 crew members between your worlds.
Requires: Shipyard.png 3 Pulse drive.png 2 Armor tech.png 2
Hercules class.png
Hercules Class Cargo: An upgrade to the Atlas Class with better armor, hull, and cargo capacity. However, it is slower than the upgraded Atlas Class.
Requires: Shipyard.png 4 Jet drive.png 6
Starfighters
Artemis class.png
Artemis Class Fighter: A basic assault unit. It is cheap, light, and dependable, and is the first attack ship that most commanders will build.
Requires: Shipyard.png 1 Jet drive.png 1
Apollo class.png
Apollo Class Fighter: An upgrade of the Artemis Class that uses a Pulse Drive in place of a Jet Drive allowing for greater firepower and defenses.
Requires: Shipyard.png 3 Pulse drive.png 2 Armor tech.png 2
Empusa.png
Empusa Class Fighter: The Empusa is a small, but powerful, assault unit. Its pilots are trained to perform kamikaze missions to inflict massive amounts of damage on enemy ships. (NOVA)
Requires: Shipyard.png 3 Jet drive.png 4 Weapons tech.png 2
Light Capital Warships
Curetes.png
Curetes Class Cruiser: The Curetes is a defensive style of ship available only in the Starfleet Commander Nova universe. It is designed to absorb large hits. While it has limited offense, its high shields and the fact that nothing rapid fires against it make it able to withstand large amounts of fire, making it a great addition to your fleet. (NOVA)
Requires: Shipyard.png 4 Jet drive.png 4 Particle tech.png 1 Shield tech.png 4
Poseidon class.png
Poseidon Class Cruiser: The Poseidon Class ship features around three times the defensive capability and twice the weaponry as the Apollo Class, in addition to being one of the fastest ships in the universe.
Requires: Shipyard.png 5 Pulse drive.png 4 Particle tech.png 2
Medium Capital Warships
Athena class.png
Athena Class Battleship: Many commanders utilize the Athena class as the principal ship for their fleets. Excellent defenses, strong weapons, and fast cruising speed make it a difficult ship to fight against.
Requires: Shipyard.png 7 Warp drive.png 4
Hades class.png
Hades Class Battleship: With high speed, large cargo, heavy hull, and rapid fire versus many ships, the Hades Class is the optimal choice for heavy fleet versus fleet combat.
Requires: Shipyard.png 8 Ftl tech.png 5 Warp drive.png 5 Laser tech.png 12
Heavy Capital Warships
Prometheus class.png
Prometheus Class Destroyer: This is the largest heavy ship in the universe, exceeded in power only by the moon sized Zeus Class. It packs massive firepower and can be used to smash through enemy defenses.
Requires: Shipyard.png 9 Ftl tech.png 5 Warp drive.png 6
Thanatos.png
Thanatos Class Destroyer: The Thanatos, a massive assault unit rivaled only by the Zeus, is able to make quick work of both enemy fleets and defenses. (NOVA)
Requires: Shipyard.png 11 Energy tech.png 9 Particle tech.png 8 Ftl tech.png 8
Warp drive.png 7 Laser tech.png 11 Weapons tech.png 10 Ai tech.png 10
Other Warships
Ares class.png
Ares Class Bomber: A specialized ship used to demolish enemy planetary defenses. However, this ship is quite weak in ship versus ship combat, due its lack of Rapid Fire vs ships.
Requires: Shipyard.png 8 Plasma tech.png 5 Pulse drive.png 6
Roaming planet.png
Hephaestus Class Attack Platform: The Hephaestus Class Attack Platform is the latest in planetary assault technology. It can be deployed into orbit in a solar system and act as a mobile base for your fleet.
Requires: Shipyard.png 13 Foundry.png 3 Particle tech.png 10 Armor tech.png 12
Weapons tech.png 12 Shield tech.png 12 Expedition tech.png 8 Warp drive.png 9

Ship Engine Types

There are three types of engines currently in use in the Starfleet Universe, the Jet Drive Engine, the Pulse Drive Engine, and the Warp Drive Engine.

Note: Of the three drive types described, only Pulse and Warp are even vaguely interstellar in nature, and Pulse drive would, in reality, only be of use in so-called "generation" ships, which literally take a lifetime to reach the nearest stars. Hence Warp drive is really the only one of these drives which should properly operate within the time-frames suggested by the game.

The Jet Drive Engine

The ancient Jet Drive Engine ignites a combustible gas and use the resulting thrust to move ships. While new advances have continually increased their efficiency, they are, on the whole, a relatively slow method of transportation. Still they are cheap and effective for units that don't require the advanced speed afforded by Pulse and Warp drives.

Ships using the Jet Drive Engine Type:

The Pulse Drive Engine

The Pulse Drive Engine is an evolution of the Jet Drive Engine. Instead of igniting a stream of gas, it uses a series of nuclear explosions (pulses) to generate considerable thrust. This engine type is used on larger and faster ships instead of the Jet Drive Engines.

Ships using the Pulse Drive Engine:

The Warp Drive Engine

The Warp Drive Engine is the pinnacle of transportation technology. It uses magnetism to reshape the space-time continuum around it, allowing ships to move at faster-than-light speeds.
