The Scavenger Tribes - Ship Comparison Table

[edit] Introduction

The ship list of the Scavenger fleet is much more confusing than others. A wild mix of common (like cloaking) and obscure (like the warp chunnler) devices, hyperjump capabilities, Scavenger Upgrades etc. make it hard to say why you want to build one ship or another.

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 find your scouts and tractors.

Red indicates particular bad values for that particular ship, Green background points out exceptional good ones. IE the Inamorta has only 95 ord storage, which makes it unsuitable for ord based weapons. It is very likely that you will build ships because of their green spots.

[edit] Building Cost & Cargo

Ships with many green spots in this table will be your main freighters. The Q-Ships are not good transporters but have a high range.
The building cost seems to be balanced, so I didn't mark anything. Please correct me if I'm wrong here, Yid, Aug 8, 2007.

• The Reigendo Class Stratofortress and Atoll Class Star Post have good transport

capacity but are to slow to be efficient transporters.

• Having two pod bays and a speed of 190ly/turn, the Phoenix Class Escort Carrier is a good transport for urgent goods.

[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.

10	Reigendo Class Stratofortress	8*800kt	30	10	8000	-	-	14*100	12000	3000	Mine Sweeper Array, Warp Bubble Generator

• The Reigendo Class Stratofortress is the only ship with a superweapon option. The Anti-Matter Maul is possible.
• Phoenix Class Escort Carrier and Apotheosis Class Assault Carrier indeed have the same values here.
• The Inamorata Class Strike Ship should have only energy based weapons, Disrupter Cannons and the Large Weapon Overcharger A/B Exotic Tech might be good, better are Pulsed Phasor Cannons.
• SU = Scavenger Upgrade.

[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.

• The Factor Class Cutter is obviously your tractor as long as you are below TL 7. It can tow anything except the Star Port.
• Deliverance Class Ship of the Line has bad subspace speed but will move efficiently with its Hyperdrive.
