Ship Classes

The term “ship class” refers primarily to the capital ships and transport ships of the “capital vessel” (CV) type used by the NPC factions.

These ship types are also referred to in the game as OPVs (orbital patrol vessels).

The “attack value” displayed in each blueprint (including those of the players) is crucial for classification and calculating a comparative value. What is the Attack Value?

Calculates a comparative value from all turrets and weapon systems (except Sentry Guns) carried by an OPV. No distinction is made between activated and deactivated. The decisive factor is the calculated value, which is determined by impact and area damage as well as rate of fire.

Important: How well the ship is armored or whether it has shields (Defense Value in the blueprint info) is currently not included in the ship class calculation, since all damage (without shields) is always block-based and shields and their value is always the same and does not correlate or vary with combat strength.

The following ship classes are currently in play for OPV:
