Freighters are massive capital ships that serve as mobile bases and fleet command centers. You'll encounter your first freighter rescue mission early in the game; successfully defending it will often reward you with the freighter for free. Freighters offer:
- Massive Storage: Dedicated inventory slots.
- Base Building: You can construct a base within your freighter.
- Frigate Expeditions: Send frigates on missions to earn resources, units, and unique items.
Frigates are smaller support ships that you can purchase and add to your fleet. They come in various types (Combat, Exploration, Industrial, Support, Trade) and gain experience over time. Managing your fleet and sending them on expeditions is a lucrative and engaging endgame activity.
