===== Overview =====

The **Flagship** is the centerpiece of every fleet in //Sea of Conquest//. It functions simultaneously as an aggro tank that absorbs enemy fire, as a cabin host providing all production and support facilities, and as the fleet anchor whose level caps the maximum level and strength of all companion ships. Upgrading the Flagship is therefore the most important ongoing task in the game: every level gained unlocks new cabin slots, potentially adds fleet slots, and raises the ceiling for the entire fleet.

The Flagship is the only vessel in the fleet where cabins can be constructed and upgraded. These cabins produce raw materials, cook food for gold, or enhance combat capability. Because the Flagship level defines the maximum level of every other ship in the fleet, each Flagship upgrade is simultaneously an investment in overall fleet strength.

===== Details =====

==== Role of the Flagship ====

In every naval engagement, the Flagship fulfills the role of the **aggro tank**. It draws all enemy attention, allowing companion ships to deal maximum damage without taking fire. For this reason, the Flagship should be built as defensively as possible — emphasizing HP and Armor — while the side ships are specialized for offense.

==== Flagship Level Progression: Key Milestones ====

The Flagship level unlocks new cabin slots, fleet slots, and gameplay systems. The table below summarizes the most important milestones:

^ Level ^ Fleet Slots (Side Ships) ^ Key Unlock ^
| 1–4 | 2 | Basic cabins; gang join unlocked at Level 4 (costs 400 Emeralds) |
| 5 | 2 | Gathering nodes on the map become accessible |
| 8 | 2 | Beginner's protection ends — players can now attack you |
| 13 | 2 | Gold becomes the primary limiting factor for upgrades |
| 21 | 2 | Requires Astrologer's Chamber Level 20 |
| 22 | 3 | Third side ship slot unlocked |
| 31 | 4 | Fourth side ship slot unlocked |
| Endgame | up to 5 | Maximum fleet: 1 Flagship + 5 side ships (6 total) |

==== The 4 Production Cabins ====

The Flagship houses four specialized food-production cabins. These supply ingredients for the Galley and Mess Hall and contribute indirectly to gold generation:

Production cabins must be emptied regularly. Assigning sailors to each cabin as workers maximizes output rate.

==== Galley and Mess Hall ====

**Galley** (Kombüse): The Galley processes raw ingredients gathered from the four production cabins into cooked dishes and beverages. Recipes range in tier from common to legendary; higher-tier dishes sell for significantly more gold in the Mess Hall.

**Mess Hall** (Messe): The Mess Hall is the onboard sales facility. Cooked food is sold here for gold, subject to daily transaction limits that increase with each upgrade. Regular Mess Hall upgrades are worthwhile for consistent gold income.

==== Flagship Tech Upgrades ====

In addition to cabins, the Flagship has four technical upgrade categories that raise its base combat stats:

==== HP as the Primary Stat for Ship Parts ====

A core principle for the Flagship build: **HP is the most important stat** when selecting ship parts. Since the Flagship absorbs all enemy fire, it must be as durable as possible. Ship parts consist of four types — Cannon, Sail, Figurehead, and Navigation Helm. Each part carries random attributes that can be improved through enhancement, with additional bonus stats unlocked at enhancement levels 5, 10, and 15. Set bonuses (equipping 2 or 4 matching pieces) provide further combat advantages.

==== Priority Recommendations by Level Range ====

^ Level Range ^ Recommended Focus ^
| 1–7 (Beginner phase) | Build Shipbuilder's Study (double it if possible), Astrologer's Chamber, Cargo Hold upgrades |
| 8–12 (Exposure phase) | Gun Bay cabins for combat power, Oarsmen Quarters for sailing speed |
| 13–20 (Gold bottleneck) | Optimize trading routes, upgrade Mess Hall, activate auto-trading |
| 21–30 (Advanced) | Bring Astrologer's Chamber to Level 20, unlock 3rd fleet slot at Level 22 |
| 31+ (Endgame) | Unlock 4th and 5th fleet slots, bring all fleet ships up to Flagship level |

===== Tips =====

* **Double the Shipbuilder's Study:** Build a second Shipbuilder's Study as early as possible to run two upgrade queues simultaneously — this substantially speeds up progression throughout the entire game.

* **Use the beginner's protection window:** Before reaching Level 8, focus on building a strong resource foundation, as other players can attack you once protection expires.

* **Always prioritize HP on Flagship parts:** When choosing ship parts, select those with the highest HP and Armor values for the Flagship. Side ships should focus on attack stats instead.

* **Keep the Galley active:** Regularly cook dishes like //Sumptuous Cake// (3 Milk + 1 Egg) and sell them in the Mess Hall — this is one of the most passive gold sources in the game.

* **Deploy heroes in preferred slots:** A hero placed in their preferred ship slot gains a 20% attribute bonus. This bonus becomes decisive in the later stages of the game.

* **Enable auto-trading when offline:** Set up auto-trading routes so the Flagship continues generating gold even when the game is not being actively played.
