Ships

Ships are a type of Troop that can be controlled by players. Ships can be manually moved using the gravity orb, thrown, or teleported across the map through wormholes. Ships will orbit the nearest Base automatically. Additionally, offensive ships will shoot Projectiles at enemy Troops within range.

Ships cannot function and are incapable of attacking any enemy Troops if they are outside the player's power range. They can, however, capture Bases that have no defending troops even without power.

## Spawning

Ships can spawn in a few different ways, but are mainly produced at Planets using Resources. Home Bases and normal production planets will create ships of the types outlined by the maps chosen fleet configuration. Special Production Planets will produce ships of a single specific type exhibited by the ship type icon above the planet. Ships can also be spawned using the God of Production's special ability. Each ship has a rare chance of spawning as a radio ship.

## Ship states

There are currently 4 states a ship can be in.

### Normal

* Ships act within a routine system, firing upon near enemy targets such as turrets or other ships.

### No power

* When a ship has no power they cannot fire or activate shields.
* The ships themselves get darkened out to signify that it is disabled

There are 2 ways ships can lose power:

* Leaving your power range (affects all ships)
* Or being hit by the God of Conquest's EMP ability (only affects support and hybrid ships)

### Buff

* When a ship is buffed it alternates from your team color to glowing yellow.
* The buff gives increased firing range, fire rate and production speed for however long the buff lasts for.
* There are 2 ways ships can be buffed:
* Freeing an unstable star and keeping control of it until the countdown finishes.
* Or using the God of Teleportation's fleet recall ability (does not increase production speed).

### Invisibility

* When a ship is invisible it will become transparent with an outline, for your opponents it will just be invisible.
* Invisible ships cannot be targeted at or be hit by splash damage while invisible.
* They return to normal when they fire or activate shields.
* There are 2 ways ships can obtain invisibility status:
* Orbiting a stealth planet
* Or using the God of Stealth which has a passive that turns all ships invisible.
