Overview
The Fleet Anchor path makes you the reason your fleet is still standing. Field Repairs and Battle Coordination turn a defensive line or boss raid into an attrition machine that simply does not break.
It is the natural skill companion to the Defense and Boss Raid fleet builds — the hulls hold the line, your skills keep them repaired and coordinated through fights that would collapse an unsupported group.
Skill Tree Allocation
| Skill | Branch | Pts | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fleet Tactics I | combat | 3 | Baseline accuracy so your supported fleet still kills things. |
| Field Repairs | combat | 6 | In-combat sustain — the heart of the anchor. |
| Battle Coordination | combat | 6 | Keeps the fleet shooting the right target while you triage. |
| Siege Mastery | combat | 5 | Win long sieges where your sustain edge compounds. |
| Fleet Commander | combat | 5 | Capstone fleet-wide buff for held-line fights. |
Commander
Thorn's defensive doctrine stacks with Field Repairs and Siege Mastery — his shield/armour boosts give your repairs more buffer to work with, turning the fleet into a wall that heals.

Capstone with Fleet Commander

FAQ
Is the Logistics Anchor good for solo play?
No. Its value is entirely in supporting a group — Field Repairs and Fleet Commander shine in defensive lines and boss raids, not on a lone hull. Solo pilots should run the Utility Skirmisher path.
Which fleet wants this skill build most?
The Defense Fleet and Boss Raid builds. Both are attrition fights where in-combat repairs and Siege Mastery decide who is still standing at the end.
