Fleet

Fleet refers to the entirety of the ships a player owns, or that they send on a mission (attack, transport, deployment, espionage, colonization, expedition …).

Each planet has a limited number of fleet slots — how many simultaneous outgoing fleet movements an account can maintain depends on research (including Computer Technology) and possibly universe settings.

For their own safety, players often don't leave their fleet permanently on their home planet, but "park" it in transit instead (see Fleet Saving).

See also Flight Time, Fuel Consumption, Distance for calculating fleet movements.
