Thorn

How to use it

Ground defence · light, cheap, and never leaves

Thorns never leave the planet. Their Skirmisher class gives them an advantage against Bulwark-class hulls, while Lance-class hulls receive the advantage against them. They use ground capacity; 60% of destroyed ground guns are restored after combat, rounded down.

Requirements & connections

Build at Shipyard level 0. No completed research is required for this hull.

Ground defences use the Command Core’s ground capacity. They cannot fly, transfer or carry resources. They share the Yard queue with ships. Some destroyed defences are rebuilt free after combat.
