Companion ships: finding their blueprints, unlocking berths, building, repairing, and the six designs with their real numbers.
No entries match that.
Collect fragments to learn a ship design, then visit Fleet / Blueprints at Port to build it. Assign the built ship to an unlocked berth before sailing. Your flagship can bring two different companion ships. Learned designs, fragment progress and Repair Blueprints stay with your profile across campaigns and captains; commissioned ships belong to the current campaign.
BOSSES: defeat a boss and choose one ship-specific fragment from the reward offer. TRADING POSTS: open Fleet Blueprints and buy the offered fragments with gold. Each offer can be bought once per visit; the ships and prices are shown before you buy. ELITE SHIPS: plunder or board an elite for a chance of recovered plans. Simply sinking an elite gives no blueprint fragment. Your first elite plunder of a run awards a figurehead instead. Collect the required number for the same design to learn it. The six designs and their fragment requirements are pictured below.
FIRST BERTH: win a campaign with two different captains and complete one blueprint. You can collect fragments before unlocking this berth. SECOND BERTH: complete three different blueprints and win a campaign in which you commissioned a companion ship.
At Port, select a learned design and BUILD it for 500 gold, 250 wood and 250 iron. You can build each design once per campaign. Select a berth, choose the built ship, then ASSIGN it. Assignments and swaps at Port are free; the same design cannot occupy both berths. Ships left unassigned remain in your campaign's reserve. A new campaign needs new commissions.
Once a design is learned, each extra fragment or blueprint copy becomes one Repair Blueprint for that specific design. They persist between campaigns. A sunk companion needs one of its Repair Blueprints to be rebuilt at Port. Ordinary hull damage uses REPAIR FLEET and resources instead; it does not spend Repair Blueprints. The Trading Post can also repair afloat companions.
HULL upgrades at Port add 40 base hull and reduce reload time by 4% per tier, up to 5 tiers. Upgrades persist for that design across campaigns. Each sinking removes one tier. The ship cards below show the base design with no HULL upgrades; hull at sea also scales with the campaign's threat level. Fixed equipment bonuses and rarity traits are already included in the displayed stats.
Use the Fleet command panel at sea to ENGAGE an enemy, DEFEND THE SHIP, DEFEND THE HARBOUR or REGROUP. At Port, choose formation, spacing and fighting stance. Open Order spreads companions line abreast; Close and Extended Order use the selected formation. Companion equipment is fixed by design, so pick ships whose guns and protection suit your plan.
