Merchant vessels (MV) are ships that are built for the purpose of transporting cargo or goods. In battleship craft they usually have no guns mounted and are purely aesthetic.

Design[]
Most merchant vessels in game have the base of a battleship but have cargo containers and decorations instead of guns. Merchant vessels usually cost around 0-100,000 resources depending on what engines/decorations you use. To design one just purchase a basic base and add decorations/objects that match the type of merchant vessel you want to build.
