The Serene Squall is an Epic, Grade 3 Survey ship for the Independent faction, and it plays a double role: it mines Raw Epic Transogen faster than almost anything, and it can defend itself against Suliban raiders while doing it. You unlock the build at Shipyard level 30. If you farm Transogen or run the Suliban loop, this is the miner you want. Outside that niche, it stays parked.<\/p>\n
Building the Serene Squall takes 200 blueprints and a Shipyard at level 30. Once you have both, the build cost is 1,600,000 Tritanium and 180,000 Dilithium, and the build runs 8 days and 2 hours. The ship data does not tie the blueprints to a single store or event, so treat blueprint collection as a steady grind rather than one purchase, and gather them alongside the Transogen content the ship is built for.<\/p>\n
The Serene Squall carries two always-on abilities, and both point at the same job. Transogen Haul raises the ship’s base mining speed for Epic Transogen, scaling from 1,053,000% at level 1 to 22,680,000% at level 90. Black Flag increases the quantity of Transogen Manipulators you loot from Suliban Stealth Cruisers, from 5,000% at level 1 up to 69,000% at max level. Together they make the ship a Transogen specialist: it pulls the resource out of the ground quickly and squeezes extra Manipulators out of the Suliban ships guarding it. Both abilities run automatically, so leveling the ship is what raises the numbers.<\/p>\n
Two player-triggered abilities sit on top of the passives. Squall Automated Defenses raises the ship’s combat capability while it mines, wrapping it in a laser cage that punishes Suliban hostiles or players who attack you mid-node. Field Repairs instantly restores 25% of your hull health while the ship is undocked and out of combat. You activate each of these yourself, and their cooldowns shorten as the ship climbs tiers, so a higher-tier Squall can lean on them more often. In practice, Automated Defenses is what lets this miner sit in contested Suliban space instead of fleeing every time a raider shows up.<\/p>\n
Base values from the current game data; research, buffs and officers raise them in play. The table shows three anchor tiers so you can see the jump from a fresh build to a maxed hull.<\/p>\n
