Ships and paint
Frigates to carriers, five role hulls with one job each, and paint you earn.
- hulls
- shipyards
- paints
Every hull comes from one of the Reach’s four shipyards and handles like it. The role hulls each do one job better than anything else: the Shrike hunts frigates, the Swift catches anyone, the Petrel scans and slips away, the Vigil keeps a fleet alive and the Mattock mines on its own.

What you do
- 01
Role hulls
Shrike destroyer, Swift interceptor, Petrel explorer, Vigil logistics and Mattock mining frigate, each with a hull bonus for its job.

Paint
Docked, open Paint and turn your own hull in the preview. Your paint is yours, not the ship’s: it flies on every hull you board.

Earned colours
Some paints only come from the end of a story arc or a hard achievement. Pilots will know where you’ve been.
