Support Ships

Any fleet needs support ships to keep it going. Here are some suggestions:

Repair ship

Build a small ship with 1-4 elite welders and a level 2 or 3 large cargo container. Fill it with essential materials. Repair your damaged ships quickly. Tip: in the roach sector you can repair much faster than in other sectors.

Tanker

Build a tanker with enough tanks for refuel any ship you have twice. Do not build H2 generators on it, since you would have to leave it out in order to make more fuel. Keep these at your base. Put a few large cargo containers on it with all the ammo types your ships use, and extra uranium.

Small roacher

Build a ship that can quickly recycle ships that are too damaged to repair. Eating your own ship is best done in the roach sector due to grimbot restrictions.

Jumpship

Do not use your warship to get anywhere. Jump drives are weight, and you only need a few of them in battle. Instead build a dedicated jumpship. 20 or so elite jump drives will get you almost anywhere fast.

Tech storage ship

If you score at KOTH, you will need to put the tech somewhere other than in your warship. As this is likely to blow up at some point. Quickly jump away from KOTH, load a tiny ship with a cargo box, and put in the tech.

Spawn point

Why jump when you do not have to? Make and deploy tiny spawn point ships in the sectors you are likely to do battle. All you need is a beacon, a small reactor and a survival kit.
