Hello folks!

I'm trying the Hissho faction for the first time, and I notice I have this weird ship called an economic behemoth. I am under the impression that I looked everywhere in game, but I can't find any explanation as to what it does, what it can do, or how it works! 

I've read somewhere on google that it passively improves FIDS in the system it orbits, but nowhere in the game can I see confirmation of that. Is it just the game's UI that is really really bad? What should I do with that early behemoth? Should it really do nothing at all every turn? And can I (or should I) assign a hero to it? Help :(

Double clicking a ship in a selected fleet allows you to edit its design (or only inspect it, if you cannot edit it at the moment). That way you can read what the modules on the behemoth do.

There is a little icon next to the system name in galazy view when the system benefits from a behemoth module. Also, you can see what contributes to a systems production when you hover over the FIDSI resource.

If the behemoths seem confusing, you should try using them as other factions first. The Hissho are a special case when it comes to using behemoths, as you can see from their faction traits.

I found this basic video tutorial on Behemoths, hope it helps.

a) Is official Amplitudes introduction thread while b) is offered by community member lo_fabre:

a) Supremacy - Behemoths

b) Behemoths terraforming reducing anomalies restoring planets and reconstruction?
