Ship stats

Early accessCitadel is still in development. Numbers and rules on this page can change between patches. Last checked October 2026.

The fitting screen lists a ship's stats on the Hull tab, under Specs. This page gives every line, what the game says about it, and how the numbers relate. The screen opens on a short list; Show All Stats gives the full one.

Defense

Stat	Unit	What the game says
Effective health	HP	Combined survivability of armor and hull, weighted by resistance.
Max armor	HP	Total armor hit points when fully repaired. Armor absorbs damage before hull HP is touched.
Max hull	HP	Structural integrity of the ship. When hull reaches zero, the ship is destroyed.
Barrier HP	HP	Total barrier hit points generated by fitted shield modules after module quality and ship barrier modifiers.
Armor repair	per second	Rate at which armor is restored per second during combat.
Barrier regen	per second	Barrier hit points restored per second by fitted shield modules.
Sustain	per second	Combined defensive recovery per second from armor repair and barrier regeneration.
Kinetic resist	%	Percent of incoming kinetic damage prevented by armor.
Explosive resist	%	Percent of incoming explosive damage prevented by armor.
Acid resist	%	Percent of incoming acid damage prevented by armor.

Effective health is hull HP divided by the share of kinetic damage the hull lets through, plus armor HP divided by the share the armor lets through. A hull with more kinetic resistance is worth more effective health for the same HP.

Offense

Stat	Unit	What the game says
DPS		Total damage per second from all fitted offensive sources.
Turret DPS		Total damage per second from all fitted turrets.
Volley damage		Damage dealt in a single firing cycle across all turrets.
Missile DPS		Total missile damage per second, accounting for recharge cycles.
Torpedo DPS		Total torpedo damage per second, accounting for recharge cycles.
Mine DPS		Theoretical damage per second from mines under continuous detonation.
Mine salvo		Damage dealt when a mine detonates.
Mine trigger radius	m	Distance at which a target triggers the mine.
Mine drop interval	s	Time between mine drops while the deployer is active.
Mine recharge	s	Time to refill one mine into the magazine.
Mine magazine		Mines held in a full magazine.

A fitted missile or torpedo launcher adds its own block: volley, range, recharge, count, speed and homing.

Reactor

Stat	Unit	What the game says
Time to SCRAM	min:sec	How long until the reactor overheats and shuts down under full load. Stable means dissipation exceeds generation.
Max heat capacity	GJ	Total heat the reactor can absorb before triggering a SCRAM. Higher capacity gives more time under heavy load.
Heat dissipation	per second	Heat vented per second. If this exceeds heat generation, the reactor is thermally stable.
Heat generation	per second	Heat produced per second by fitted modules when active. It must stay below heat dissipation to avoid eventual SCRAM.
Net heat	per second	Heat generated per second after dissipation under full fitted load.

Agility

Stat	Unit	What the game says
Mass	t	Total mass of hull plus fitted modules. Higher mass reduces acceleration and turn rate for the same thrust and torque.
Thrust	N	Forward force produced by propulsion modules. Combined with mass to determine acceleration.
Acceleration	m/s²	How quickly the ship reaches max velocity. Derived from thrust divided by mass.
Turn acceleration	°/s²	How quickly steering changes the ship's turn rate.
Turn rate	°/s	The authored steering angular-speed cap. Collision impulses are not clamped to it.
Max velocity	m/s	Top speed the ship can reach under normal propulsion.

How they relate:

• Mass is the hull's mass plus fitted modules, times every mass modifier. Few modules weigh anything themselves; most change mass through a percentage, such as Ablative Bulkhead (+15%), Reinforced Plating (+8%), Armor Plates (+6%), Cargo Bay (+4%), Lightframe Thrusters (-6%) and Nanoframe Ribs (-8%).
• Acceleration is thrust divided by mass.
• Turn rate is turning force divided by mass.
• Max velocity does not depend on mass. It is the hull's top speed times every speed modifier. A heavy ship gets to its top speed more slowly, but the top speed is the same.

Targeting

Stat	Unit	What the game says
Sensor range	m or km	Maximum distance at which a contact with clear line of sight is identified and can be targeted.
Signature radius	m	Your ship's targeting profile. Larger signatures are easier for hostile turrets to track.

Utility

Stat	Unit	What the game says
Battery hardpoints		Number of turret slots available on this hull.
Subsystem hardpoints		Number of subsystem module slots available on this hull.
Propulsion hardpoints		Number of propulsion module slots available on this hull.
Core slots		Number of core module slots available on this hull.
Safety hold slots		Number of cargo slots protected from loss on destruction.
Salvage luck	%	Multiplier affecting the quality and quantity of salvage from wrecks.

The Modifiers tab

Next to Specs, the Modifiers tab lists every stat the fit has changed, with each source, its raw value, how much of it counted after stacking, and the total. A bonus that is exempt from the stacking penalty is marked Exempt. An unfitted hull shows "Baseline performance".
