===Fatigue===

{{details|Tutorial: FAQ#Alright, I built my ship, kicked some ass and I noticed the orange faces. What gives?|l1=Alright, I built my ship, kicked some ass and I noticed the orange faces. What gives?}}

====Fatigue====

Orange/sad faces are displayed next to the ship icon if they are too fatigued. Rest them for 15 minutes or so if it happens. Fatigue will reduce by 3 every 3 minutes. Fatigued ships will have lower accuracy and evasion. If your ships are still fatigued upon returning from expedition, your '''expedition will end up failing even with all other criteria fulfilled.'''

Orange or Red sad faces are displayed next to the ship icon if they are too fatigued. Rest them for 15 to 30 min to have them back at normal morale. Fatigue will reduce by 3 every 3 minutes. Fatigued ships will have lower accuracy and evasion. If your ships are still fatigued upon returning from expedition, your '''expedition will end up failing even with all other criteria fulfilled.'''

===Sparkle===

====Sparkle====

The polar opposite of Fatigue. If one or more of your ships sparkle, they will gain evasion boost during sortie. The evasion boost stats are not shown in your ship stats directly. Or, if you choose to send a sparkling ship on an expedition, it will have a chance for 150% resource gain and a higher likelihood of returning with a special item (note that this requires the entire fleet to be consisting of sparkling ships).

The polar opposite of Fatigue. If a ship "sparkle", she will gain a boost in sorties. Sparkling also play a very important role in expeditions, where having multiple sparkled girls can increase significantly the "Great Succes" rate.

 

Items that respectively remove fatigue and increase the morale of your fleet.
