Colonisation Ship

The Colonisation Ship is a capital ship that is used for system colonisation.

Overview

The CS is larger than a Drake-Class Carrier, close to the size of a station, and must be moved to a star system to initiate colonisation efforts. Bringing construction materials to the CS can be done by a solo commander or group. When enough materials are delivered then the system's primary starport will be built, with the Colonisation Ship departing after the primary starport is constructed.

The vessel has landing pads on the port and starboard side. There are a total of 16 large, 8 medium, and 8 small landing pads.

Trailblazer Fleet

The Trailblazer Fleet is a collection of stationary Colonization Ships. They were allocated by Brewer Corporation after the completion of their corresponding in-game event, with their purpose being to aid colonization efforts. Commanders may find all the usual commodities required to complete colonisation constructions at the markets of the Trailblazer megaships. There are currently 7 deployed around the Bubble:

Name	System	distance from sol [LY]	Ship distance from main star [Ls]
Trailblazer Dream	HIP 90578	180.79	18
Trailblazer Song	Orgen	183.56	7
Trailblazer Wish	Bletii	194.17	714
Trailblazer Star	34 Omicron Cephei	203.11	635
Trailblazer Promise	Klikis	183.98	951
Trailblazer Faith	Ngobe	205.88	418
Trailblazer Echo	Minerva	70.23	1156

As of 11th November, 3311, the Trailblazer megaships have had their markets officially closed, with Brewer Corporation "citing the self-sufficiency of newly established colonies." However, the megaships remain in place in their original locations, although they may be moved at a later date.
