Additional Ships/Fleet questions.

[Marauder]

The game talks about "building your trade empire." Does this mean we get additional ships over time. Either "passively" doing trade routes or the likes or as addition to our fleet.

And is there any option to acquire a larger vessel? In the TTRPG Rogue Traders would regularly own heavy cruisers and the likes and use them as their flagships.

Colony Project on your capital world. Either of the last tier 2 options, both mutually exclusive but both provide the escort.

Hopefully there's more later, because some of the space battles are ridiculous.

does the ship come back if it gets destroyed in battle?

it comes back at the start of every battle, which is good because it's highly likely to be destroyed after doing nothing of use but distract for 2 rounds and make dark eldar shadowfields activate before you can shoot them every single combat

Do you happen to remember what Colony Project it was that allowed for getting a second ship?

Tier 2 Dragonus Shield of the emperor/Filth of the expanse can only build 1 of them and shield is just flatout better in most cases
