| Jumpships can move at high speed to any planet within 250LY of an owned [[anacreon:game:movement#jumpship_movement|jumpbeacon]]. Explorers are an exception; they do not require jumpbeacons. [[anacreon:game:fleet|Fleet]] symbol is an isosceles triangle. | Jumpships can move at high speed to any planet within 250LY of an owned [[anacreon:game:movement#jumpship_movement|jumpbeacon]]. Explorers are an exception; they do not require jumpbeacons. The slowest jumpships are still 10x faster than the fastest starships or ramjets and over 200x faster than the slowest starships. The [[anacreon:game:movement#jumpship_movement|jumpfleet]] symbol is an isosceles triangle. |
| === Explorers === | === Explorers === |
| Explorers have high sensor ability, which makes them good at revealing unexplored space and detecting fleets. They do not require a jumpbeacon to move. They are faster than other jumpships and have higher [[anacreon:lexicon#delta_v|delta V]]. Their weapons and armor are very weak and they have high [[anacreon:game#attrition]]. Explorers do not require [[anacreon:game:resources#components]] to build. | Explorers have high sensor ability, which makes them good at revealing unexplored space and detecting fleets.

| Jumpcruisers combine high damage with fast speed. They are ideal for waging blitzkrieg-style attacks against enemy planets within [[anacreon:game:movement#jumpship_movement|jumpbeacon]] range and for rapidly responding to enemy gunship attacks. They have medium [[anacreon:lexicon#armor]] and a medium-strength, medium-range [[anacreon:lexicon#attack_type|missile attack]]. | Jumpcruisers combine high damage with fast speed.

| ==== Starships ==== | ==== Starships ==== |
| Starships can move at low speed to any planet that is not inside or surrounded by [[anacreon:game:nebula]]. Starships can't be built by worlds in nebula. [[anacreon:game:fleet|Fleet]] symbol looks like a "T" on its side. They have lower [[anacreon:game#attrition]] than jumpships. | Starships can move at low speed to any planet that is not inside or surrounded by [[anacreon:game:nebula]].

| === Gunships === | === Gunships === |
| Gunships are a good general-purpose attack unit. They are much faster and cheaper than the other two starship classes. They have high [[anacreon:lexicon#delta-v]], medium [[anacreon:lexicon#armor]], and medium-strength, medium-ranged [[anacreon:lexicon#direct]] attack. Gunships do not require [[anacreon:game:resources#components]] to build. | Gunships are a good general-purpose attack unit. They are much faster and cheaper than the other two starship classes.

| Starcruisers are the most expensive units in the game. They have the same slow speed as starfrigates and are primarily serve as a defense against gunships, but will also wreak havoc against most [[anacreon:game:units#planetary_defenses|planetary defenses]] from beyond retaliation range if they are used offensively. They have a strong, long-range [[anacreon:lexicon#missile]] attack and ultra-strong armor. | Starcruisers are the most expensive units in the game.

| ==== Ramjets ==== | ==== Ramjets ==== |
| Ramjets can move at low speed to any planet within a contiguous [[anacreon:game:nebula]]. Ramjets must be built in nebula. [[anacreon:game:fleet|Fleet]] symbol is an elongated hexagon. Ramjets are also called "ramships" and have the same unit roles as starships (gunship, starfrigate, and starcruiser). | Ramjets can move at low speed to any planet within a contiguous [[anacreon:game:nebula]].
