Getting one
The starter Seraph is issued for free at Faction quality, which gives it 15% less hull, armor and heat capacity than the Standard figures above, and comes with three Flak Cannons, a Mining Laser, a Sonar Ping and an Armor Repairer fitted. One of any other quality has to be built.
A Seraph is built at the forge from a Seraph blueprint. A dropped blueprint has 5 uses.
| Material | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Veskar | 144 |
| Pirite | 138 |
| Helspar | 143 |
| Solstine | 18 |
Quantities are for a Normal blueprint. Building a hull covers the forge, research and what rarer blueprints cost.
Where the blueprint comes from
- NPC wrecks and loot containers can drop the blueprint.
- Boss wrecks can drop it.
- It can appear in the TZHAL quartermaster's stock from the rank of Recruit. A quartermaster blueprint is faction issue: it cannot be researched and the Seraph it builds is always Faction quality.
