METASHIPS are sold in bundles known as "[Restocks](https://docs.metaships.io/metaships/generations/restocks)", every 20 "[Restocks](https://docs.metaships.io/metaships/generations/restocks)", the Generation is incremented by 1. (default 0)

The **# of METASHIPS available to purchase** per-restock event **decrease as the Generation increases:**

* **Generation 1** = 
  * 50 METASHIPS/restock
* **Generation 2** = 
  * 30 METASHIPS/restock
* **Generation 3-5** = 
  * 20 METASHIPS/restock
* **Generation 5-20** = 
  * 10 METASHIPS/restock
* **Generation 20+** = 
  * 5 METASHIPS/restock

The Generation a METASHIP is created in is stored on-chain on each individual METASHIP NFT. In the future, Generations may be used to determine early accessibility to new features.
