Ships & affinity

  • What do the ship classes do?Interceptor = carry, Destroyer = bruiser, Scout = mobile, Sentinel = tank, Artillery = long-range DPS.

    Interceptor = carry, Destroyer = bruiser, Scout = mobile, Sentinel = tank, Artillery = long-range DPS.

    Good to know

    A dev called the Typhon a destroyer on 1 Oct; Beta Patch 1 lists it as a Sentinel. All 20 hulls are also classed as cruisers.

  • Do copies of the same ship have different layouts?No. Each hull has its own grid.

    No. Each hull has its own grid.

    • Same-class hulls have similar hardpoints. The four interceptors share the same hardpoints (battery 4, subsystem 2, propulsion 4) and differ only in core slots (17 to 19).
    • Crafting the same ship only rolls a different quality. A Ptah crucible rerolls quality, including a whole ship's.
    • You can change one ship's grid with grid consumables, e.g. an Inverted Coil (also called the ANDVARI Coil) has a 50% chance to turn a core slot into a battery hardpoint, once per ship.

  • Can I move affinity points to another ship?No, affinity is per ship.

    No, affinity is per ship.

    • It belongs to the hull, not to you: the ship earns the XP as it's flown.
    • It dies with the ship: when it's destroyed, its level and affinity points go with it.
    • Spent points can't be taken back. The only reset is a Yata replicator copy.
    • Spending points raises the build rating: roughly +200 at 5 points, +610 at 10 and +3,070 at 20.

  • Can I reset affinity points?Only with a Yata replicator.

    Only with a Yata replicator.

    It makes a copy of the ship that keeps its level with points unspent.

    You'll need

    Before you use one:

    • The copy comes out unfitted and marked Replicated.
    • No consumable can change a Replicated copy, including the grid consumables, and a copy can't be copied again.
    • It doesn't work on Artifact or Regalia items.

    Without one, spent affinity points can't be taken back.
