Note that the AI can also get this quest, and if you capture a system where the ship spawns, I'm fairly sure the ship will stay there forever. Attack ships can get loaded to brim on guns but little else. I like riftborn because I feel their ships are ultra specialized. Adaptation Expansion: Entire storyline, especially Emperor Maximillian Zelevas, has been prominent in Endless Space 2 and has the ability to reform the United Empire into three different paths: Its current one as the United Empire (Industry), Embrace the past and revive the Mezari Empire (Science), and Sheredyn (Military). I forget but united empire is similar but slower. Makes seiging or a fleet speed boost ship harder to do. If you check your quest logs and do notice a quest requiring you to raise industry + science/food in the same system the ship is at, this is definitely the reason. Support ships sometimes lack the all in use that riftborn, or Horacio get. You can verify ownership of fleets my mousing over the ship count tag if the colour is indeed white or grey, it's probably a non-controllable quest fleet or minor faction's fleet. One quest spawns a neutral ship outside one of your systems that stays there until the quest is finished (the one where your choices are to 'save the core' or 'save the inhabitants' by raising industry + science/food production).
The fact that it's white means it's probably a neutral fleet as I'm reasonably sure white is a reserved colour. United Empire now Available in Endless Space 2 While theyre certainly no strangers to the Endless Space universe, The United Empire has returned for its latest installment of the award winning franchise from Amplitude Studios with a fresh look and an iron will to compete for control of the galaxy.
Are you sure the ship is yours? When you select a fleet, the dotted ring between it and the system should be the same colour as the owning faction's.
