how exactly do they work? on a high level capital ship if you click on one of the abilities under "ability management", it either gets a number written on it or goes to the main capital ship menu where you can activate it. what's the advantage of leaving an ability in the management menu as opposed to the main one?
Ability management displays all the upgradable abilities for your capital ships, they do not have the ability until you select them from the ability management list once you do they appear in the main capital ship menu, the higher the number the greater the benefits, your capital ships can be upgraded to a max level of 10 and have 3 levels of upgrades for the first 3 skills and 1 for the last skill, the ships ultimate, it can be upgraded in any order.
Each capital ship has four abilities. At each level, you may choose to either learn a new ability, or improve an existing ability. This means a freshly built capital ship gets one and only one ability to work with, so you need to choose carefully. Every time it levels up, you may choose to upgrade an existing ability or select a new ability, making your capital ship more powerful and more versatile as it levels up.
Capital ships have one "ultimate" ability that cannot be selected until they are level 6. This ability cannot be upgraded, and is effectively your capstone ability. Furthermore, capital ships must meet a minimum level to upgrade their existing abilities. You must reach level 3 to upgrade an ability once, and you must reach level 5 to upgrade an ability for the second time. Each ability can only be upgraded twice (so it takes three points to max out; once to learn it, plus two upgrades).
What this means is that you can make a capital ship that specializes in two abilities, or a capital ship that has three abilities but they're somewhat weaker. Usually it's better to specialize your capital ship to get more performance out of two abilities rather than trying to manage the antimatter requirements of three.
thanks
uh how do i tell how much fleet supply im taking up?
didnt want to make a new thread so i figured id just ask here
Just hold your cursor over the number that shows your currently available fleet common. It will give you a complete breakdown of how much command you're using, and how many of each type of unit you have.
