===== Overview =====

In //Sea of Conquest//, a player's fleet consists of the **Flagship** and up to four **escort ships**. The Flagship is the most powerful ship in the fleet and the only one on which cabins can be built and upgraded. Escort ships follow the Flagship by default during exploration and support it in combat.

A crucial game mechanic that many beginners overlook is the ability to **separate** escort ships from the Flagship. Separated ships can act independently — guarding Sentry Towers, hunting sea monsters, or completing trade routes while the Flagship simultaneously handles other tasks. This multitasking capability is essential for efficient progression.

In addition to the regular fleet, the **Pioneer Fleet** becomes available at a certain point in the game. This separate fleet allows players to participate in Titan Fleet activities without interfering with the movements and battles of the main fleet on the world map. The Pioneer Fleet consists of up to four specialized sub-fleets, each with its own focus.

===== Details =====

==== Separating Escort Ships (Drag Mechanic) ====

Separating escort ships is done through a simple hold-and-drag gesture. On the sea map screen, a vertical bar on the right side displays icons for all ships in the fleet. To separate an escort ship, press and hold the desired ship icon until it detaches, then drag it to an empty spot on the water.

The ship detaches from the group and acts independently. If dragged directly onto a target, the ship will immediately attack it. Possible targets include:

* Free traders and enemy ships
  * Sea monsters
  * Guild Sentry Towers
  * Enemy ports

Alternatively, the **Fleet Overview** can be used to manage ships, where individual ships can be selected and their crew and equipment adjusted.

==== Recalling Ships ====

To reunite a separated escort ship with the Flagship, select the escort ship's icon and drag it onto the Flagship. Once the ship is within range of the Flagship, a **ring indicator** appears around the Flagship to signal that merging is possible. Upon release, the escort ship rejoins the main fleet.

When ships sail together in the fleet, incoming combat damage is distributed across all ships, which significantly extends the Flagship's survivability.

==== Capacity Limits by Flagship Level ====

The number of available escort ship slots is tied to the Flagship's level. Ships can only be upgraded up to the current maximum level of the Flagship.

Two escort ships are provided for free. A third can be unlocked by completing the first //Pirate Kings Trail// event.

==== The Pioneer Fleet ====

The Pioneer Fleet is an independent fleet structure that operates in parallel with the main fleet. It consists of four specialized sub-fleets, each optimized for different areas of gameplay.

The **Battle Fleet** enables direct raiding of other player ships and defeating ports. A ship from the main fleet can be temporarily transferred to the Pioneer Fleet for these actions.

The **Trade Fleet** uses the same Auto-Trade mechanism as the main fleet. When exchanging available trade ships, valuable items such as Anthem Shells, Throwing Knives, Gleam Shells, and Gold can be obtained.

==== Strategic Advantages of Fleet Separation ====

Simultaneously deploying multiple ships provides significant strategic advantages:

===== Tips =====

* **Tip:** Always keep at least one escort ship guarding Sentry Towers while your Flagship runs Auto-Trade — earn gold and secure territory simultaneously.
  * **Tip:** Equip your Flagship defensively (high HP, survivability focus), as it absorbs the most damage in group formation — escort ships should be built for offense.
  * **Tip:** Upgrading your Flagship's sailing attributes (cargo holds and rower quarters) improves Flagship speed, but escort ship speed does //not// affect the overall fleet's travel speed.
  * **Tip:** Use the Pioneer Fleet actively as soon as it unlocks — it is completely independent from your main fleet and delivers extra resources without any opportunity cost.
  * **Tip:** When your escort ship has heroes with compatible abilities placed correctly in their preferred role, those heroes receive a 20% attribute bonus — always assign crew carefully.
