Zekeships are a line of tech 1 warships and tradeships designed by Eyrzeke.

Specifications

Zekeships are designed to minimize material and printing costs with the following techniques:

0.8 bubble shields, which use 1 iron block as opposed to the 8 iron blocks used on conventional box shields.
Ion thrusters, which require no iron blocks instead of afterburners, which require 1 iron block and 1 gold block. Ships using ion thrusters need more to achieve maximum cruise speed, making zekeships have large thruster areas.
Tier 2 hyperdrives provide the maximum chetherite fuel economy, while trading jump speed.
Tier 3 hyperdrives are put on larger ships such as the Josu-class frigate or the Dayang-class destroyer.

Eyrzeke and Lonestar together ensure that there is always at least one active member with rights to the Zekeships, and will sell both blueprints and manufactured models to all players. A summarized list of available Zekeships can be found here.

-Reference to ships made by [[Eyrzeke]], notable for their ubiquitous use amongst low level and [[Lonestar]] players, as well as small nations. Unlike most other ships of their respective classes, Zekeships usually utilize only 0.8 bubble shields and ion thrusters, resulting in significantly lower material and print costs, but slower acceleration and usually worse shield layouts than other ships. Notably, because of the way shielding mechanics work, Zeke Ships are generally built around their shielding, rather than their shielding being built to suit their hulls, leading to their odd shapes.
