<div style="float: right;">__TOC__</div>

'''Ships''' are used to traverse space. As with previous Elite games, [http://www.helvellyn.plus.com/3dfrontier][http://www.frontierastro.co.uk/Ships/ships.html][http://ffeartpage.com/ident.htm][http://www.jades.org/shiprevs.htm] there will be a variety of designs.

Currently there are 15 ships, with each manufacturer having its own unique style.<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=a4bd777a7f#4 Newsletter #5]</ref> There are plans to have a total of 30 playable ships and some variants in addition to some non-playable ships. Each ship has access to a range of different modules which they can fit to help specialize as [[trader]]s, [[smuggler]]s, [[Bounty Hunter|bounty hunter]]s, [[pirate]]s, etc.

All commanders begin the game with a [[Sidewinder]]. The player may upgrade components or purchase an entirely new ship based upon their needs. New ships can only be purchased at [[station|Station]]s with the [[Shipyard]] service and modules can only be changed or upgrades at stations with the [[Outfitting]] service.

==Ship Types==
===Multi-purpose===
Multi-purpose ships are a jack-of-all-trades in that they can easily be fitted for whatever role the player needs; whether it be hauling cargo, shooting ships, or exploring the [[stars]] the multi-purpose ship can do it all.

===Combat===
Combat ships are typically faster, more agile and heavily armed than other ships of the same size. The exception to this would be gun boats, which have more weapon mounts designed for turrets, but sacrifice their agility for them.

===Freighter===
Freighters are typically slow, cumbersome and lightly armed, but provide extreme hauling capabilities. Useful for traders and smugglers alike.

===Explorer===
Exploration ships typically come with large default jump ranges, large [[Fuel Tank]]s for ships of their size, and lots of low class [[Internal Compartment]]s for [[Discovery Scanner|scanner]]s. These ships are designed to be able to equip the multitude of scanning equipment needed for an expedition, then fly long distances into the void without the need for regular refuelling.

===Passenger===
Couriers who fly passengers and valuable items with small storage requirements have a special class of ships available to them. These ships are elegant and fast, designed to quickly and comfortably get from one system to the next. You can think of them as giant limousines for space. However, as of now, passenger ships have no significant use in the game as passengers themselves have yet to be implemented.

==Ship Outfitting==
All ships are highly customizable through outfitting. Each outfit slot has a maximum class that can be put into that slot. This only lists what type of outfit slots are available for each ship, their exact content has to be put on some other page. For example: Internal compartments can contain cargo space, where class 1 = 2t, class 2 = 4t, class 3 = 8t, class 4 = 16t... But Internal compartments can also contain [[Shield Cell Bank|shield cell bank]]s, scanners, etc. Apart from classes, outfits also have a quality rating A-H, and other characteristics such as energy drain, armour piercing, etc.

Max class for each outfit slot in table below (more info on respective ship page):

== Faction Ships ==
Frontier are developing a family of ships for the navies of each faction in the game. Examples:
* [[Empire Courier|Imperial Courier]] - Empire Scout
* [[Empire Courier|Imperial Cutter]] - Civilian version of Empire Light Warship
* [[Empire Fighter]] - Empire Fighter
* [[F63 Condor]] - Federal Fighter
* [[Farragut]] - Federal Capital Ship
* [[Majestic Class Interdictor]] - Empire Capital Ship

The fleet-class ships that are available to the game’s major factions follow a hierarchy.<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=c0b11fe947 Newsletter #7]</ref>

=== Cruisers (Battlecruisers, Battleships, Interdictors) ===
Long range, independent ships that are capable of controlling entire systems. Heavily armed and capable of deploying large fighter squadrons. The capital ships already shown are an example of this class. In the [[Empire]] they are usually known as “Interdictors” – named after the first successful class of cruisers. Currently the most common and most successful is the Majestic class – generally referred to as a “Majestic class Interdictor”. As ships that can also carry out ambassadorial missions they can be used for ‘soft’ power projection, as well as hard.

=== Frigates ===
These are large ships designed for escort duties. The actual vessels vary greatly between navies, but are all designed to engage multiple small, fast enemies (typically fighters and missile swarms) and are loaded with point defence batteries. They will also have some anti-ship capability, but are not designed to go up against other warships.

=== Destroyers ===
These are anti-warship vessels, but are generally no longer used in the front line, though some are still in service.

=== Carriers ===
Designed for the deployment of fighter squadrons. Obsolete in the fleets of the major factions due to the popularity of Cruisers, but small navies still make use of them and some have even been converted into transporters.

=== Transporters (Couriers) ===
Armoured warships designed specifically for transporting valuable assets and cargo quickly and safely.

=== Corvettes (Cutters) ===
Light multi-role warships, capable of reconnaissance, incursions and escort missions. These small warships are also popular with smaller [[factions]], organizations and even wealthy individuals due to their adaptability. The Imperial Cutter is a lighter and faster Corvette-class ship, which players will be able to get their hands on in the final game (assuming they can make the right contacts).

=== Fighters ===
Small short-range craft that generally cannot operate independently due to having no jump capability. Their main roles include the defence of stations and the large warships that they are deployed from. Commercial fighters are typically jump-capable and are therefore much more flexible than their faction-specific counterparts.

=== Drones ===
Small automated ships that have largely been phased out due to the existence of effective counter-measures.

12.229.72.40: Added fuel capacity as it's based on standard sizes. If it's not a Core Dynamics ship I'll eat my hat. Based on component selection it should be somewhere between a Type 6 and an Asp in size (smaller than python at least), hence medium pad.

{{quote|Another classic design that has survived the centuries. The first vessel was constructed in 2700 by Whatt and Pritney Ship Constructions. With the demise of the company and after various mergers and takeovers the ship design is now owned by Faulcon deLacy. The ship remains the slow and sturdy craft it was originally famous for and some smaller navies still use this class as a patrol cruiser (although tiny compared to the Imperial Interdictors and Federal Battle cruisers).|In-Game Description}}

The '''Python''' is a heavily armed and well-protected craft, boasting considerable maneuverability for its hulking size. Despite being exceptionally powerful and potentially useful in a variety of roles, the Python does suffer from exceptionally high operating costs, making it a potentially cost-prohibitive option for many pilots.

It is considered by some to be the most effective balance between firepower, maneuverability, and protection currently available. In addition to being capable of holding its own against the larger Anaconda in a toe-to-toe frontal battle through its substantial protection and firepower, the Python is generally agile enough to comfortably deal with smaller fighter classes without having to rely on turret mounts.

Ships

2015-01-15T19:03:02Z

12.229.72.40: Added additional upcoming ships as based on data available in game data files. Names might change

<div style="float: right;">__TOC__</div>

'''Ships''' are used to traverse space. As with previous Elite games, [http://www.helvellyn.plus.com/3dfrontier][http://www.frontierastro.co.uk/Ships/ships.html][http://ffeartpage.com/ident.htm][http://www.jades.org/shiprevs.htm] there will be a variety of designs.

Currently there are 15 ships, with each manufacturer having its own unique style.<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=a4bd777a7f#4 Newsletter #5]</ref> There are plans to have a total of 30 playable ships and some variants in addition to some non-playable ships. Each ship has access to a range of different modules which they can [[Outfitting|fit]] to help specialize as traders, smugglers, bounty hunters, pirates, etc.

All commanders begin the game with a [[Sidewinder]]. The player may upgrade components or purchase an entirely new ship based upon their needs. New ships can only be purchased at stations with the Shipyard service and modules can only be changed or upgrades at stations with the [[Outfitting]] service.

==Ship Types==
===Multi-purpose===
Multi-purpose ships are a jack-of-all-trades in that they can easily be fitted for whatever role the player needs; whether it be hauling cargo, shooting ships, or exploring the stars the multi-purpose ship can do it all.

===Combat===
Combat ships are typically faster, more agile and heavily armed than other ships of the same size. The exception to this would be gun boats, which have more weapon mounts designed for turrets, but sacrifice their agility for them.

===Freighter===
Freighters are typically slow, cumbersome and lightly armed, but provide extreme hauling capabilities. Useful for traders and smugglers alike.

===Explorer===
Exploration ships typically come with large default jump ranges, large fuel tanks for ships of their size, and lots of low class internal compartments for scanners. These ships are designed to be able to equip the multitude of scanning equipment needed for an expedition, then fly long distances into the void without the need for regular refueling.

===Passenger===
Couriers who fly passengers and valuable items with small storage requirements have a special class of ships available to them. These ships are elegant and fast, designed to quickly and comfortably get from one system to the next. You can think of them as giant limousines for space.

==Ship Stats==
For additional stats please view each ship's individual page.

==Ship Outfitting==
All ships are highly customizable through outfitting. Each outfit slot has a maximum class that can be put into that slot. This only lists what type of outfit slots are available for each ship, their exact content has to be put on some other page. For example: Internal compartments can contain cargo space, where class 1 = 2t, class 2 = 4t, class 3 = 8t, class 4 = 16t... But Internal compartments can also contain shield capacitors, scanners, etc. Apart from classes, outfits also have a quality rating A-H, and other characteristics such as energy drain, armor piercing, etc.

Max class for each outfit slot in table below (more info on respective ship page):

== Faction Ships ==
Frontier are developing a family of ships for the navies of each faction in the game. Examples:
* [[Empire Fighter]] - Empire Fighter
* [[Empire Courier|Imperial Courier]] - Empire Scout
* [[Empire Courier|Imperial Cutter]] - civilian version of Empire Light Warship
* [[Majestic Class Interdictor]] - Empire Capital Ship
* [[F63 Condor]] - Federal Fighter
* [[Farragut]] - Federal Capital Ship

The fleet-class ships that are available to the game’s major factions follow a hierarchy.<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=c0b11fe947 Newsletter #7]</ref>

=== Cruisers (Battlecruisers, Battleships, Interdictors) ===
Long range, independent ships that are capable of controlling entire systems. Heavily armed and capable of deploying large fighter squadrons. The capital ships already shown are an example of this class. In the Empire they are usually known as “Interdictors” – named after the first successful class of cruisers. Currently the most common and most successful is the Majestic class – generally referred to as a “Majestic class Interdictor”. As ships that can also carry out ambassadorial missions they can be used for ‘soft’ power projection, as well as hard.

=== Frigates ===
These are large ships designed for escort duties. The actual vessels vary greatly between navies, but are all designed to engage multiple small, fast enemies (typically fighters and missile swarms) and are loaded with point defense batteries. They will also have some anti-ship capability, but are not designed to go up against other warships.

=== Destroyers ===
These are anti-warship vessels, but are generally no longer used in the front line, though some are still in service.

=== Carriers ===
Designed for the deployment of fighter squadrons. Obsolete in the fleets of the major factions due to the popularity of Cruisers, but small navies still make use of them and some have even been converted into transporters.

=== Transporters (Couriers) ===
Armored warships designed specifically for transporting valuable assets and cargo quickly and safely.

=== Corvettes (Cutters) ===
Light multi-role warships, capable of recon, incursions and escort missions. These small warships are also popular with smaller factions, organizations and even wealthy individuals due to their adaptability. The Imperial Cutter is a lighter and faster Corvette-class ship, which players will be able to get their hands on in the final game (assuming they can make the right contacts).

=== Fighters ===
Small short-range craft that generally cannot operate independently due to having no jump capability. Their main roles include the defense of stations and the large warships that they are deployed from. Commercial fighters are typically jump-capable and are therefore much more flexible than their faction-specific counterparts.

=== Drones ===
Small automated ships that have largely been phased out due to the existence of effective counter-measures.

12.229.72.40: Filled in some missing ships from manufacturer lists.

<div style="float: right;">__TOC__</div>

'''Ships''' are used to traverse space. As with previous Elite games, [http://www.helvellyn.plus.com/3dfrontier][http://www.frontierastro.co.uk/Ships/ships.html][http://ffeartpage.com/ident.htm][http://www.jades.org/shiprevs.htm] there will be a variety of designs.

Currently there are 15 ships, with each manufacturer having its own unique style.<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=a4bd777a7f#4 Newsletter #5]</ref> There are plans to have a total of 30 playable ships and some variants in addition to some non-playable ships. Each ship has access to a range of different modules which they can [[Outfitting|fit]] to help specialize as traders, smugglers, bounty hunters, pirates, etc.

All commanders begin the game with a [[Sidewinder]]. The player may upgrade components or purchase an entirely new ship based upon their needs. New ships can only be purchased at stations with the Shipyard service and modules can only be changed or upgrades at stations with the [[Outfitting]] service.

==Ship Types==
===Multi-purpose===
Multi-purpose ships are a jack-of-all-trades in that they can easily be fitted for whatever role the player needs; whether it be hauling cargo, shooting ships, or exploring the stars the multi-purpose ship can do it all.

===Combat===
Combat ships are typically faster, more agile and heavily armed than other ships of the same size. The exception to this would be gun boats, which have more weapon mounts designed for turrets, but sacrifice their agility for them.

===Freighter===
Freighters are typically slow, cumbersome and lightly armed, but provide extreme hauling capabilities. Useful for traders and smugglers alike.

===Explorer===
Exploration ships typically come with large default jump ranges, large fuel tanks for ships of their size, and lots of low class internal compartments for scanners. These ships are designed to be able to equip the multitude of scanning equipment needed for an expedition, then fly long distances into the void without the need for regular refueling.

===Passenger===
Couriers who fly passengers and valuable items with small storage requirements have a special class of ships available to them. These ships are elegant and fast, designed to quickly and comfortably get from one system to the next. You can think of them as giant limousines for space.

==Ship Stats==
For additional stats please view each ship's individual page.

== Faction Ships ==
Frontier are developing a family of ships for the navies of each faction in the game. Examples:
* [[Empire Fighter]] - Empire Fighter
* [[Empire Courier|Imperial Courier]] - Empire Scout
* [[Empire Courier|Imperial Cutter]] - civilian version of Empire Light Warship
* [[Majestic Class Interdictor]] - Empire Capital Ship
* [[F63 Condor]] - Federal Fighter
* [[Farragut]] - Federal Capital Ship

The fleet-class ships that are available to the game’s major factions follow a hierarchy.<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=c0b11fe947 Newsletter #7]</ref>

=== Cruisers (Battlecruisers, Battleships, Interdictors) ===
Long range, independent ships that are capable of controlling entire systems. Heavily armed and capable of deploying large fighter squadrons. The capital ships already shown are an example of this class. In the Empire they are usually known as “Interdictors” – named after the first successful class of cruisers. Currently the most common and most successful is the Majestic class – generally referred to as a “Majestic class Interdictor”. As ships that can also carry out ambassadorial missions they can be used for ‘soft’ power projection, as well as hard.

=== Frigates ===
These are large ships designed for escort duties. The actual vessels vary greatly between navies, but are all designed to engage multiple small, fast enemies (typically fighters and missile swarms) and are loaded with point defense batteries. They will also have some anti-ship capability, but are not designed to go up against other warships.

=== Destroyers ===
These are anti-warship vessels, but are generally no longer used in the front line, though some are still in service.

=== Carriers ===
Designed for the deployment of fighter squadrons. Obsolete in the fleets of the major factions due to the popularity of Cruisers, but small navies still make use of them and some have even been converted into transporters.

=== Transporters (Couriers) ===
Armored warships designed specifically for transporting valuable assets and cargo quickly and safely.

=== Corvettes (Cutters) ===
Light multi-role warships, capable of recon, incursions and escort missions. These small warships are also popular with smaller factions, organizations and even wealthy individuals due to their adaptability. The Imperial Cutter is a lighter and faster Corvette-class ship, which players will be able to get their hands on in the final game (assuming they can make the right contacts).

=== Fighters ===
Small short-range craft that generally cannot operate independently due to having no jump capability. Their main roles include the defense of stations and the large warships that they are deployed from. Commercial fighters are typically jump-capable and are therefore much more flexible than their faction-specific counterparts.

=== Drones ===
Small automated ships that have largely been phased out due to the existence of effective counter-measures.
