#### Ship Construction Guide

**1. Introduction**

The Shipyard and Shipwright are crucial facilities that allow players to craft ships uniquely suited to their strategic preferences in the game. The ability to construct a well-designed ship is fundamental for anyone aiming to dominate the high seas.

**2. Crafting a Ship**

**Cost:**\
Crafting a ship requires a payment in rETH + $FLAG premium setup by the shipyard owner.

80% of the crafting fee is allocated to the building owner, and the remaining 20% supports the protocol.

**Ship Bonuses:**\
The bonuses or maluses a ship receives depend on the Shipwright’s level, which can range from +10% to +30% for bonuses, and -10% to -30% for maluses.
