| - | Flagships are colossal testaments to a player's strength. They can provide an immense boost to a player's military, economy, or a combination of the two. There are three types of colonist flagships: the [[Iowa]], the [[Elstar]], and the [[Atria]]; all of these stupefying ships take up twenty-five [[slots]]. As of June the twelfth, 2012, there were 247 Iowas, 70 Atrias, and 32 Elstars in the galaxy. The Iowa is the clear favorite, simply due to its stunning weapons array. All three flagships, however, have their own unique uses. The Iowa is, as previously mentioned, a vessel designed for war; its primary use is combat. The Elstar is probably the most diverse flagship; it suits many roles well, from fleet support to combat. However, it does not do anything exceptionally well, which is why it is the least popular flagship. The Atria is an economical marvel. It can collect 1800 [[Iridium Ore]] and 9000 [[deuterium]] per day; enough to fuel most players colonies, and then some. Each player has his or her favourite flagship, based on their playing style.
