Store and Items

There are several types of items that can be purchased in game in the store. Some of the items alter your ship abilities while others can increase your credit and experience earnings.

Current items include: officers, premium officers, aides, premium aides, armour and ship enhancements, planes, camouflage skins etc....

While standard items can be bought with credits, premium items can be bought with gold, which costs real money.

Officers


Officers are the bread and butter of your crew. Only with a full officer crew can your ship perform correctly, to it's full potential.

Every officer starts at level 1 and can go up to the maximum level of 100. At every level your officer is granted a point to spend on a specialisation. These points increase the way your officer 'performs' ship duties. Basically the more points you spend in one area, the greater it will perform.

Premium officers have a higher percentage ability rating and start with 30 specialization points for you to spend.

An additional, and more complicated, mechanism behind officers' ability beyond the points earned per level, is Morale. Morale is represented by a meter that changes based on wins and losses. Initially this starts at 100% with the maximum at 120%. This can later be extended to 200%

To unlock the full morale beyond 120% right up to 200%, you need to purchase morale items. This can be the most tricky, and expensive aspect of navy field 2.

Aides


Aides are an additional type of officer that increase your credit and experience intake. The non-premium aides cost credits, last for 2 days, and increase credit or exp earned by 5%. Premium aides do the same but increase credits or exp by 15%, depending on which one you select.

Item Info


Items can be added to your ship to improve different aspects of how your ship will function in battle. Quicker repairing, quicker speed, better armour, faster reloading, Items incur a bonus but are offset with with a slight speed penalty.

Each ship starts with one item slot. You can buy 5 more item slots with credits. Each new slot is slightly more expensive than the last. Each ship has a maximum number of 6 item slots in total.

 In addition, a separate camouflage slot is available to make your ship look awesome. Camouflage items are only cosmetic and do not incur any advantage or disadvantage when equipped.

While most items can only have only one of them equipped onboard at any one time.

You can add Multiple types of the same item can be added onto a ship. IE: armour items at once.

Some items are limited to one per ship. Weapons, boiler and repair items all have this limitation. You can only have one of each type on board your ship, never two or more of the same.

Armour items have varying degrees of enhancement. For instance, a tier V armour stack will provide greater defence than a tier II armour stack. Note that armour increases ship weight and decreases ship speed.

Cost

Items are relatively expensive early on in the game when you have less credits. With the shelf life of items for their cost you will want to be getting enough out of those items for the price you've put in. Especially for armour which is probably the most popularly used items right now.

Weapon items cost 1620, basic repair crew costs 2430 and the boiler enhancement cost 2020, all in game credits.

For non-premium users the credit prices are pretty good if you want to get a slight increase for general matchmaking games. However it is advised that when harbour assaults or serious matches come along using fleets, you will want to be loading up on premium items.

Shelf Life


All items have a shelf life. Some items last for 7 days. The time begins when you equip the item on a ship. Think before you equip it, are you going to get the full use out of it over those seven days.

This is even more important for aides, which only last for 2 days.

Avoid testing out theories before knowing enough information. Items are relatively expensive early on in the game. Read up about the best items for your ship before buying them.

Remember you can only have one of any item on board at once. Only armour items can be duplicated onbaord.
