How about showing 2 jump ranges;

1: Unarmed, unequipped, with lightest bulkhead and no cargo.

2: Unarmed, unequipped, with lightest bulkhead but with a full cargo.

It would be necessary to point out that maximum jump ranges will be reduced when the ship's are armed for combat, but it would at least give two consistent numbers.

Ships

2014-08-03T19:50:55Z

2.30.120.182: Adjusted Cobra and Eagle boosted speeds to 400 and 350 respectively.

'''Ships''' are used to traverse space. As with previous Elite games,[http://www.frontierastro.co.uk/Ships/ships.html] there will be a variety of designs.

There will be 25 different playable ships<ref>http://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=9285</ref> at launch, with each manufacturer having its own unique style.<ref>http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=a4bd777a7f#4</ref> Some will have variant versions, and each will have a huge range of different equipment levels,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NSMMTfwTOU&t=203</ref> so they could be equipped as freighters, attack ships, explorers, etc.

== Faction Ships ==
Frontier are developing a family of ships for the navies of each faction in the game. Example:
*[[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>Newsletter #7</ref>

=== Cruisers (Battle cruisers, 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) ===
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.

I disagree with showing which stations are available at, as when the game is released it is likely that even the rare ships will be available at hundreds of locations. Jump range (both with no cargo and with max cargo) and maximum boosted speed should both be on the list though.

Viper Mk III

2014-07-13T18:44:54Z

2.30.120.182: Apparently the name is actually Viper Mk. III, not Viper Mk. II. Changed.

This information is based on ships identified in development diary videos or mentioned by name by David Braben or Frontier Developments.

Type-9 Heavy

2014-07-12T17:08:56Z

2.30.120.182: Added estimated dimensions

[[File:Trader.jpg|thumb|300px|Lakon Type-9 Heavy]] This information is based on ships identified in development diary videos or mentioned by name by David Braben or Frontier Developments.

The Lakon Type 9 first appeared in the development diary videos and in some of the live streams done by Frontier. Later it appeared in the early Alpha stages and is one of the four ships that was in the first release of the Premium Beta.

The ship itself is often seen as a freighter, although it can be a potent threat if equipped with the right weapons. It can, with good aim and piloting take down a Sidewinder in one pass. Yet, the role of this ship is most likely going to be a trader as it is incredibly slow and lumbering. Also note that it has problems fitting through the narrow gates of the Coriolis space stations and can therefore be very expensive to fly if the pilot is not sufficiently skilled.

Anaconda

2014-07-12T17:06:49Z

2.30.120.182: Added estimated dimensions

The Anaconda is currently the largest ship that is able to be piloted by a player in the current phase of Elite: Dangerous. Boasting three Class 6 hardpoints, two Class 4 hardpoints, two Class 2 hardpoints, and one Class 8 hardpoint for weapon mounts. It is currently the only ship capable of equipping the powerful [[Plasma Accelerators|Plasma Accelerator]].
