| [[File:Icon promo spacewarships.png|left]]Available during [[Ship:Update 0.7.3|Update 0.7.3]], '''Space Battles''' offer captains a unique way to experience World of Warships: in the vast depths of space! The mode offers nine uniquely-skinned Tier X ships to choose from, each with an even more unique captain. Economic rewards, however, are equivalent to Tier VII matches, and the only achievements that can be earned are [[Ship:Achievements#Special Achievements|achievements unique to the mode]].}}

| |
|
| ==Game Format==
| | Space Battles may refer to: |
| Space Battles are similar to Random Battles, with a few small variants. | |
| * Teams of nine players each helming special ships only.
| |
| * If there are not enough players, bots will be added after 5 minutes of waiting in the battle queue on the condition that there are more than 10 players in the queue.
| |
| * Special cosmic weather conditions that impact the battle.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Available Ships===
| | [[Ship:Space Battles (2015)|Space Battles (2015)]]. A special game mode added as a celebration for Cosmonautics Day during the Closed Beta Test of World of Warships. |
| Only nine (9) ships are available in this mode; all are re-skinned variants of the following Tier X ships:
| |
| * [[File:Wows flag USA.png|26 px|frameless|link]] Destroyer ''[[Gearing]]
| |
| * [[File:Wows flag Germany.png|26 px|frameless|link]] Destroyer ''[[Z-52]]
| |
| * [[File:Wows flag USA.png|26 px|frameless|link]] Cruiser ''[[Des Moines]]
| |
| * [[File:Wows flag Japan.png|26 px|frameless|link]] Cruiser ''[[Zao]]
| |
| * [[File:Wows flag UK.png|26 px|frameless|link]] Cruiser ''[[Minotaur]]
| |
| * [[File:Wows flag USSR.png|26 px|frameless|link]] Cruiser ''[[Moskva]]
| |
| * [[File:Wows flag France.png|26 px|frameless|link]] Battleship ''[[République]]
| |
| * [[File:Wows flag Germany.png|26 px|frameless|link]] Battleship ''[[Großer Kurfürst]]
| |
| * [[File:Wows flag Japan.png|26 px|frameless|link]] Aircraft Carrier ''[[Hakuryu]]
| |
|
| |
|
| Spaceships and their commanders are credited to players' accounts after completing a simple mission. Players that win a battle in a Tier VI-X cruiser will be awarded four ships: ''Galaxy (Des Moines), Aurora (Moskva), Norma (Minotaur)'', and ''Zaya (Zao)''. For victory in a Tier VI-X destroyer, captains receive ''Blue Aster (Z-52)'' and ''FlyFire (Gearing)''. The mighty ''Alldestroyer (Großer Kurfürst)'', beautiful ''Paris (République)'', and elegant ''Hellcarrier (Hakuryu)'' will become available to players who win in a Tier VI-X battleship or aircraft carrier, respectively.

| [[File:Space_Map.jpg|right|thumb|x180px|link=|Space Battles occur on a specially-designed variant of "[[Hotspot]]".]]
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Maps===
| | [[Ship:Space Battles (2019)|Space Battles: Intergalactic Games (2019)]]. An April Fools event that built on the 2018 variant by adding four new unique game modes. |
| Space Battles take place on a special map in outer space with asteroids as the only cover and a vacuum instead of water. The prototype for this map is the familiar "[[Hotspot]]" map with two variants of key areas. Captains will know one of them from Random Battles, and the other variant was used in Clan Battles.
| |
| | |
| ===Cosmic Weather===
| |
| To make space combat even more spectacular, special weather events have a chance to occur, based on new mechanics players may have already encountered in [[Ship:Operation Hermes|Operation Hermes]]. The only difference is that the thunderstorm front has been replaced with two new weather phenomena, each producing a different effect in battle. Players can see the zone of each weather event on the minimap; it will be displayed as a grey circle. Also, a special indicator will notify captains when they are approaching or within the Psy Field or Meteor Shower. Meteor Shower and Psy Field can't occur in one battle simultaneously.
| |
| | |
| ====Meteor Shower====
| |
| A Meteor Shower moves leftwards from the right side of the map, producing the following effects on the characteristics of ships that enter it:
| |
| * The current detectability range of ships is reduced by 10% with the maximum detectability range of ships affected by a Meteor Shower not exceeding 15 km (by sea) and 9 km (by air).
| |
| * The spotting range will also be limited to 15 km.
| |
| * AA guns’ firing range will be notably decreased, too. Mid- and short-range AA guns will be disabled while the long-range ones will get half of their standard firing range.
| |
| * The parameters of aircraft squadrons affected by a Meteor Shower change as follows:
| |
| ** The vision range of squadrons is limited to 6 km.
| |
| ** Flight speed is reduced by 25%.
| |
| ** Every 15 seconds, one aircraft is destroyed.
| |
| | |
| ====Psy Field====
| |
| A Psy Field moves leftwards from the right side of the map, changing the characteristics of ships affected by it as follows:
| |
| * The detectability range of ships is reduced by 10% with the maximum detectability range of affected ships being no more than 12 km (by sea) and 6 km (by air).
| |
| * Maximum spotting range in a Psy Field depends on the type of ship:
| |
| ** Aircraft carriers: 15 km
| |
| ** Battleships: 15 km
| |
| ** Cruisers: 14.5 km
| |
| ** Destroyers: 9.5 km
| |
| * [[Ship:Fire|Fires]] will last for only 1 second. The duration of [[Ship:Flooding|flooding]] doesn't change.
| |
| * {{Repair Party}} consumables are disabled.
| |
| * The Psy Field has no effect on aircraft.

| ===Economy===
| |
| Economic rewards from Space Battles are equivalent to those found in Tier VII Random Battles.
| |
| | |
| ===Achievements===
| |
| There are five [[Ship:Achievements#List of Special Achievements|special achievements]] that can only be earned in Space Battles. Regular achievements cannot be earned in Space Battles.
| |
| | |
| ===Other Rewards===
| |
| Take part in Space Battles, explore the vast uncharted corners of the universe and earn valuable prizes! Complete special combat missions to get "space" containers, which may contain [[Ship:Flags#Available Signals|special signal flags]] that provide large economic bonuses, or unique [[Ship:Patches and Emblems|patch symbols]] that are only available via Space Battle mode.
