Command Ship XP

  • Name your command ship from the gear icon on the Chart or Overview page
  • Each ship levels independently and shows its rank and XP progress
  • Command ships are protected when your port is defended but can be lost if a raid you send fails
  • Losing a command ship destroys its name and XP permanently. protect your veterans
