Today we would like to show you a bunch of screenshots - yes, we've decided that this is a nice way of representing the work in progress stuff and so it should be taken as a rule - so, today we are showing a hive ship.
The idea behind this ship-building wonder is that there are ships for traveleling, there are cities for the economy and there will be these hive ships for being a self-propelled production settlement. Of course, feeding the full crew of such a ship is a wild task. But taking such a thing with a boarding attack is no easier than attacking a regular fortress.
Truth to be told, these ships cannot be called particularly fast because of their enormous size, but they don’t even need it - they are strategic vessels. We will add them to the game eventually, when we deliver diplomacy and inter-factional wars functionality. Then these hive ships will allow you to seriously change the balance of forces in the region by the very fact of its appearance. That is the implementation of the classic principle called fleet in being - if your enemy has such a thing, you must plan your strategy differently.
