Utility ships

**Location:**  Infinite Lagrange Wiki -> Ship

Utility ships consist of three models. Currently, only the X20 has more than one variant.

These ships have various functions that only they can accomplish:

* Standard mining for metal, crystal, and deuterium
* Victory condition mining for Trojite and Collecting Data on the respective Phase II servers
* [[Build]) outposts and mining platforms
* Prospecting - for players who have signed the [[Prospector Agreement])

* Maximizing resource production

**Note:** There are three models of warship based on the utility ships, though they are only available to NPC factions or for sale through trading posts: XT-8 XT-10 and XT-20

## X8 - Small Utility Ship

* Game description: A small generic utility ship with 2 engineering UAV pods. Engineering UAVs can be dispatched for basic resource collection and construction works. It also comes with a small shipping warehouse and basic defensive measures.

At the beginning of the game (season), the player will be able to build the X8 once they have completed construction of the first level of the Utility Ship Dockyard.

## X10 - Medium Utility Ship

* Game description: A generic medium utility ship equipped with enhanced engineering UAVs, enabling it to perform advanced mining and medium construction work. The ship has good storage capacity and basic defensive capabilities.

Although the player starts the game with the blueprint for this ship, they will be unable to build any until the completion of level one of the Medium Utility Ship Dockyard which is part of Expansion zone 4.

## X20 - Large Utility Ship

* Game description: A large commercial utility ship. Its specialized engineering UAVs are able to both analyze and process ore and harvest advanced resource nodes. Its gigantic uncovered platform accommodates large loads. It also has basic defensive capabilities.

As with the X10, despite having the blueprint, the player will be unable to build any ships of this model until completion of level one of the Utility Platform Dockyard in Expansion zone 8 of the base.

* Game description: A large utility ship for industrial purposes. Its support UAV system provides the increased capabilities of detecting and cleaning ruins. Because of the fragility of data resources, this model sacrifices all the defensive firepower and reinforces the armor to increase the defense performance, especially the impact resistance of the warehouse.

The D20 is specially designed to meet the needs of players on servers where the Data Recovery Agreement is in effect and the blueprint is provided (temporarily) to meet the special needs of that agreement.

One of the unusual changes of this particular variant is the replacement of the (nearly useless) main weapon with extra armor.

## Permanently killing utility ships

All utility ships have a **Backup Propulsion System** which has one main purpose - to allow the ship to perform Emergency Evasion (Escape) when the ship's hit points reach 0 in combat.

However, utility ships are still vulnerable to weapon systems that are capable of executing  **Attack Against Systems**.

**Please note:** It is generally considered poor sportsmanship, or even a war crime, to deliberately attack utility ships that are Mining or prospecting, and especially to do so with the intention of permanently killing them by using ships known to have a weapon that attacks propulsion systems (especially Vitas A).
