[edit] Introduction

This list should aid you to choose from the various hulls. If you want to build a transporter, the Building Cost & Cargo Table should help you. If you plan to wage war try the Fighting Abilities - War Ships section. If you need some obscure device, look at Fighting Abilities - Other Ships. The Travelling & Scanners section should help you to spot scouts and tractors.

Red indicates particular bad values for that particular ship, Green background points out exceptional good ones. It is very likely that you will build ships because of their green spots.

The values are taken from the according ship pages from the WiKi and have been corrected with the changes made in package v4r23. Corrections welcome.

[edit] Building Cost & Cargo

Ships with many green spots in this table will be your main freighters.

Tech	Hull	Clasification	Cost	Mass	Duranium	Tritanium	Molybdenum	Fuel	Ord	Repair	Std. Cargo	Pod bays
1	N. Willow Class Survey Ship	Scout	400	120	25	60	35	380	300	120	1200	1

3	X. 240 Comb Class Escort	Warship	900	180	100	20	60	125	10000	100	50	1
4	N. Everygreen Science Vessel	Utility Ship	800	450	90	210	150	450	300	220	6400	1
5	A. Odin Class Carrier	Warship	3500	520	150	260	110	3000	5000	3000	400	1

9	Lotus Class Pursuit Ship	Warship	5000	315	105	105	105	650	4500	2500	3200	1
10	Aurora Class Flagship	Warship	28000	750	250	250	250	6000	9000	5000	8000	1

• Aurora have an additional upkeeping cost due to its "Exotic Hull" of 3000 GC (Galactic Credits).
• The Star Port cannot move or be moved cause it is Gravity stabilized. So it is obviously not a good transporter.

[edit] Fighting Abilities

The Ship list is divided into Warships and other ships.

[edit] Warships

Ships which do not break down on the first shot and have some defense. These ships are made to defend home worlds or make war.

Tech	Hull	Large W.	Small W.	PD	Ord	Evasive Bonus	Attack Bonus	Fighters	max.Armor	max.Shield	Relevant Devices
2	A. Interstellar Class Frigate	4*60kt	4	6	2500	45	30	1*75	450	900	Mine Sweeper Array, Boarding Laser, Gravity Sensors
3	X. 240 Comb Class Escort	3*800kt	1	3	10000	35	35	-	60	1000	Hive Mind, Laser Mine Dropper, Mine Sweeper Array
5	A. Odin Class Carrier	4*60kt	16	8	5000	20	30	16*75	1100	900	Gravity Well Generator, Gravity Rift Generator, Gravity Sensors, Scalar Wave Damper
6	X. 1260 Royal Class Heavy Cruiser	18*800kt	12	6	6000	10	15	6*75	600	1500	Hive Mind
8	Maelstorm Class Light Cruiser	2*800kt	20	4	500	30	45	-	540	900	Mine Sweeper Array, Cloak

10	Aurora Class Flagship	18*150kt	24	10	9000	35	35	6*75	3500	1500	Mine Sweeper Array, Target Enhancer, Plasma Stream Enhancer, Superweapon Jammer, Bio Computer, Organic Armor, Option: Super Laser

• Lotus and Auroras strengths are the devices, especially Target Enhancer and Plasma Stream Enhancer. The last one makes these ships the only viable option for the Plasma Bolt Cannon.
• Maelstorm is immune to hitting minefields though still takes normal effects from being in a minefield detonation.

[edit] Other Ships

Transporters, Scouts, Space Stations and Utility Ships. Everything who's primary purpose is not to fight, although some of these ships are useful in homeworld defense.

Tech	Hull	Large W.	Small W.	PD	Ord	Evasive Bonus	Attack Bonus	Fighters	max.Armor	max.Shield	Utilities
1	N. Willow Class Survey Ship	4*40kt	12	10	300	30	0	-	400	350	Long Range Mine Detector, Target Enhancer, SDI Anti-Probe, Organic Armor
