The Talla is a grade 2 Common Battleship from the Independent faction, an early Andorian design you unlock at Shipyard level 14. Its Explorer Hunter ability raises weapon damage whenever it fights an Explorer, which makes it a cheap, focused counter ship for early hostile grinding and player battles against Explorer hulls. For most players it is a short-term opening-game ship that later becomes scrap material toward better hulls.<\/p>\n
The Talla is built rather than earned from a selten<\/a> drop. You need 40 blueprints and a Shipyard at level 14, plus a first-tier research unlock, before construction opens. The build costs 22,000 Tritanium and takes 18 hours and 30 minutes to complete. That research prerequisite is only a first-tier unlock, so it rarely blocks anyone who has reached Shipyard 14, and Tritanium is a base material you are already refining by that point. The game Daten<\/a> sets the requirement and cost, but it does not say where the blueprints come from, so collect them through whatever store or event is offering them in your game rather than assuming a fixed source.<\/p>\n The Talla’s ship ability is Explorer Hunter. When the ship it is fighting is an Explorer, the Talla increases its own weapon damage, starting at 10% at level 1 and climbing to 50% at level 35. Ship abilities are always active, so there is nothing to trigger: the bonus applies on its own the moment the target is an Explorer. The scaling is steady through the levels, reaching about 19% by level 10, 26% by level 17, and 34% by level 25 before topping out at 50%, so the Talla gets meaningfully stronger against Explorers the more you invest in it. That also means it earns its keep against Explorer hulls and adds nothing extra against Interceptors or Schlachtschiffe<\/a>, so it pays to point it at the right targets.<\/p>\n Base values below come from the current game data. Research, buffs, and Offiziere<\/a> raise them in play. The Talla is an armor ship: its hull HP grows steeply from tier to tier while its shield stays flat at 350, so it soaks damage through structure rather than deflection. Warp speed and range both climb as you tier it up, which helps it reach targets, while impulse holds at 94 the whole way. Cargo space rises to 14,500 at tier 7, but only 150 of that is protected, so treat the Talla as a warship rather than a hauler.<\/p>\n<\/span>Talla ability<\/span><\/h2>\n
