The Josu Frigate, one of the most commonly used Zekeships

Zekeships are a line of warships and civilian ships 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 8 iron blocks 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 area.
Tier 2 hyperdrives provide the maximum chetherite fuel economy, while trading jump speed.

Eyrzeke and lonestar ensures that there is always at least one active leader with rights to the Zekeships, and will sell both blueprints and manufactured models to most 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 many small nations. Unlike most other designs of their respective classes, Zekeships usually utilize only 0.8 bubble shields and ion thrusters, resulting in drastically lower material and print costs (sometimes upwards of 80%), but also slower acceleration and less optimal shield layouts than other ships. Notably, because of the way shielding mechanics work, Zekeships are generally built around their shielding, rather than their shielding being built to suit their hulls, occasionally leading to odd shapes, especially in the case of combat vessels.
