| Single-use weapon used to attack enemy [[anacreon:game:fleets]]. They are built by [[anacreon:game:designations#citadel]] planets and can be manually fired against enemy fleets. They will automatically fire against fleets invading [[anacreon:game:planets]] within their 100 [[anacreon:lexicon#LY]] range. Jumpmissiles are the only way to damage fleets that are moving between planets. | Single-use weapon used to attack enemy [[anacreon:game:fleets]].

| ==== Jumpships ==== | ==== Jumpships ==== |
| 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. | Jumpships can move at high speed to any planet within 250LY of an owned [[anacreon:game:movement#jumpship_movement|jumpbeacon]].

| Starfrigates are much more expensive than gunships, but have lower attrition. They are extremely slow and are primarily used as a defensive unit to counter enemy jumpcruisers and starcruisers. They have a medium-strength, long-range [[anacreon:lexicon#direct]]attack and medium [[anacreon:lexicon#armor]], plus strong [[anacreon:lexicon#point_defense|point defense]]. | Starfrigates are much more expensive than gunships, but have lower attrition.

| === Starcruisers === | === Starcruisers === |
| 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. The [[anacreon:game:movement#ramjet_movement|ramjet 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]].
