Ships are the vessels piloted by each player in Starblast.io. There are currently 30 ships spread out in 7 tiers. More ships are expected to be added in future updates. Generally, ships in higher tiers are stronger than ships in lower tiers, and ships in lower tiers are faster than ships in higher tiers. Ships can be upgraded to enhance their abilities. Each ship can also be upgraded to a ship of a higher tier, up to Tier 7, upon filling their Crystal Cargo, from a choice of two ships. This is visually represented in the Ship Tree.
