[[File:Docking.jpg|thumb|Ship docking|250px]] David Braben:

We are planning to have 25 different playable ship types at launch. Some will have variant versions, and each will have a huge range of different equipment levels, so you could equip them as freighters, attack ships, explorers, etc.

Frontier are developing a family of ships for the navies of each faction in the game. Example:

*Empire Fighter

*Empire Courier

*Empire Capital ship

Frontier have also indicated that they are developing a family of ships for the navies of each faction in the game. While not all these ships will be present in the game at release, and only the smallest are likely to be playable, the categories of military ship are:

----

Cruisers : Large capital ships which have a significant impact on entire star systems, and carry squadrons of fighters. The only confirmed ship of this type is the Imperial "Majestic" class Interditor.

~~Frigates~~: ~~Escort vessels designed~~ to ~~protect against fighters.~~

Here is the hierarchy of fleet-class ships that are available to the game’s major factions:

~~Destroyers~~: ~~Anti~~-~~ship warships~~, ~~now largely obsolescent~~

'''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.

~~Carriers~~: ~~Dedicated~~ to ~~carrying squadrons of fighter craft~~.

'''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.

~~Transporters~~: ~~Armoured transports and couriers~~.

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

~~Corvettes or Cutters~~: ~~Light reconaisance and escort warships~~. ~~Frontier have hinted that ships~~ in ~~this category will be playable~~, ~~though advanced~~.

'''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.

~~Fighters~~: ~~Light and short~~-~~ranged warships~~. ~~Unlike the playable, commercially available fighter types, military fighters are non~~-~~hyperspace~~-~~capable~~.

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

'''Corvettes (Cutters):''' Light multirole 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.
