Logistics
From the Galactic Civilizations Wiki
Your logistics rating determines how many ships you can combine together in a fleet. The size of a ship's hull determines how many logistics points it takes up:
- Tiny - 2 points
- Small - 3
- Medium - 4
- Large - 6
- Huge - 8
In Dark Avatar, the logistics values are:
- Tiny - 2 points
- Small - 3
- Medium - 5
- Cargo - 5
- Large - 7
- Huge - 10
Your logistics rating can be increased by researching logistics related technologies.
In Dread Lords having superior logistics (and being able to create larger fleets) is a crucial edge in Fleet Combat. The larger fleet can concentrate their superior firepower on a fewer number of targets, yielding a decisive advantage.
With Dark Avatar's changed ship combat mechanics having lots of ships in a fleet usually means a player will just lose lots of ships in a battle. The bigger the firepower of ships, the more that's true.
Higher logistics ability also reduces the cost of building starbases.
