Ships

The ship customization system in Halcyon 6: Lightspeed Edition is different from Halcyon 6:Starbase Commander.

With Starship Customization you can select ship weapons to create all kind of interesting, effective synergies. With the ship upgrades and equipment it is possible to improve their characteristics further.

There are four Ship Types: Universal, Tactical, Science and Engineering.

Universal type can be used by all Officers: Federation Shuttle and Precursor Starship. Other types are class-based and can only be used by the matching class.

Each of the class-based Ship Types also consist of two distinctive Ship Varieties.

Each Ship Variety contains a distinctively different weapons set, which is kept consequent and expanded through Tier progression. Trait names are also consequent. The first Ship Variety is typically more agile and does more base damage, yet has less hull points compared to the second. For example Marksman, Archer, Ranger, Hunter and Commando are first Ship Variety of class-based Tactical Ship Type. They share the same weapons line.

As you progress in game, new Ship Tiers can be unlocked. There are total of 5 Ship Tiers - each tier contains improvements in stats and unlocks more weapons for corresponding to the current Ship Variety and Ship Type.
