Managing Multiple Ships
A second ship lets you run different jobs in parallel, and once you own several hulls you need to name the ship in each assignment.
Available in the gameIntermediate· Fleets of several ships work; assignments live on individual ships.
What It Is and Why It Matters
You can buy a second hull and run different assignments on different ships. If the company has two ships and you did not say which one you mean, the system asks you to clarify rather than picking one at random.
Example
"Let the Courier trade while the Bulk Hauler hauls our stock."
Before confirming, check that the ships you picked are available and what they are currently doing.
Limits and Risks
- A ship is busy with one kind of work at a time: mining, refining, assembly, or a survey. Only assembly orders can queue behind it. A ship also carries only one open assignment to the deputy at a time.
- Buying a ship in the starting world as of November 6: a Bulk Hauler at 4,000 leaves a new player 6,000 of their 10,000 credits. If no money is left for the first trip, the second hull does not help.
- Several runs carrying the same commodity into the same port compete for the same bid, even when all the ships are yours.
