==Choose Equipment==
==Equipment Chosing==
While the above set-up guide recommends only types of equipment, this section gives the general rules on how to choose equipment within a given type.
Equipment of a same type are mainly differentiated by their "[[Stats]]" ({{Firepower}}, {{Torpedo}}, {{AA}}, ...), as well as some more specific attributes, like:
* [[Fit Bonuses]] (both visible and invisible),
* [[Improvement]] {{Star}} stats,
* Modifiers brought in certain mechanics, ranging from combat to routing,
* Special mechanics induced by certain equipment...
Equipment have a wide range of stats, however, not all stats are ranked the same way, some being more important than other, depending on the equipment type.
Here, equipment stats are dispatched into 3 categories:
* '''Primary Stats''': stats that influence the effectiveness of the equipment in its main role, being the main choosing factor,
* '''Secondary Stats''': stats that can influence the effectiveness of the equipment for other purposes, helping to choose between equipment sharing the same "Primary Stats".
* '''Bonus Stats''': All the other stats. These stats do not influence the effectiveness of the equipment much, but are appreciable for the general stat stats of the equipping ship.
* '''Primary stats''': This is the stats that influence the effectiveness of the equipment in its main purpose
* '''Secondary stats''': This is stats that influence the effectiveness of the equipment in other purpose than its main one.
* '''Bonus stats''': All the other stats. These stats doesn't influence the effectiveness of the equipment.
