=== Tactics ===
* '''ORB / Orbit Position''' allows most weapons to have a good angle on the target. However it also exposes the same armor side continuously, which can be whittled down with enough fire.
* '''HDG / Hold Heading''' can be used to avoid exposing the main engines, drive module and reactor to enemy fire but the ships will have less acceleration.
* '''ALD / Assume Lead''' is useful if the guide ship becomes disabled but the rest of the fleet need to carry on with their objective.

Relating positioning will reposition escorts when the guide turns. Setting this applies to all ships in the same formation. In Loose mode the guide will not slow down to let lagging escorts catch up.

== Integrity rating ==
A ship's integrity directly affects how resistant its components are to damage. Lots of empty space means less structural members to absorb damage and protect components. A ship with the majority of its component slots filled will have full protection of the hull's Damage Reduction value, while a mostly empty hull will not.

Ship hulls determine a ship's base stats as well as how many components it can have.
 
=== Shelter Alliance hulls [[File:Alliance Roundel.png|25px]] ===
