The U.S.S. Socrates is a grade 7 Uncommon Interceptor for the Federation, built for late-game combat inside the Veil. Its two always-on abilities raise Isolytic damage against enemies in the Veil and pile on Isolytic defense against hostiles, so it works as a Veil hunter and a tough hostile grinder. You build it at Shipyard level 73. For players deep enough to reach G7, it is a focused specialist worth the shards.<\/p>\n
The Socrates needs 150 blueprints, and your Shipyard has to reach level 73 before you can start the build. Construction then costs 27,000 \u03a3-Dilithium, 2,600,000 \u03a3-Tritanium, 700 units of 7\u2605 Gemeinsame<\/a> Refined Gas, and 2,800 units of 7\u2605 Common Refined Crystal. Base build time is 150 days, which your construction speedups and research will cut down in practice. The game Daten<\/a> does not name where the blueprints come from, so this guide will not guess a source; watch wherever the ship is currently offered and bank the build resources ahead of time so the shipyard is not your bottleneck.<\/p>\n The Socrates carries two ship abilities, and both are always active once the ship is built. The first, Through the Veil, increases Isolytic Damage by 150% at level 1, scaling up to 300% at level 75, against all opponents in the Veil (it does not apply to Stations). The second, Isolytic Ward, increases Isolytic Defense by 500% at level 1, scaling up to 2,000% at level 75, against non-armada Hostiles. Together they point the ship squarely at Veil-era content: you hit harder with Isolytic damage where the Veil applies, and you soak far more Isolytic damage when you are grinding hostiles. Because both scale with ship level, the Socrates gets noticeably stronger the more you level it, so keep it fed with ship XP if this is your Veil workhorse.<\/p>\n On top of the always-on abilities, the Socrates has two player-triggered actives, both unlocked through refits (see the refits section below). Ship Tarnung<\/a> hides your ship until the cloak’s duration runs out or you enter combat, begin mining, or dock at a station. Field Repairs, used out of combat while undocked, instantly repairs 25% of your ship’s hull health. You choose when to fire these, and like all ship actives their cooldown shortens as the ship tiers up. In practice, the cloak buys you positioning and concealment before a fight, while Field Repairs saves you a trip to dock when you are grinding far from home.<\/p>\n Base values from the current game data; research, buffs, and Offiziere<\/a> raise them in play. Three anchor tiers below show how the hull grows from tier 1 to the tier 15 cap.<\/p>\n Warm-up is the combat round a weapon first fires; cool-down is how many rounds pass between shots after that. The Socrates runs four weapons, three Kinetic and one Energy, all with identical damage at the tier 15 cap. Two of the Kinetic guns come online a round earlier (warm-up 1), so the ship front-loads a little Kinetic pressure before the rest of the battery opens up. That Kinetic lean matters against targets that carry more Kinetic than Energy mitigation, and this base weapon damage is what the Gold refit multiplies when you fight inside the Veil.<\/p>\n The Socrates opens officer slots as it levels, reaching a full seven-officer bridge at ship level 70.<\/p>\n<\/span>U.S.S.
