*The main part of the name indicates the ship class (e.g. frigate, destroyer, cruiser...).

*The prefix or suffix indicates if the [[rat]] is ~~a '''Commander''' or~~ an '''Elite''' ship

*The prefix or suffix indicates if the [[rat]] is an '''Elite''' ship or a '''Commander'''.

**'''Commander''' ~~Ships: Inflict greater damage and have a better range than a regular rat of the same class~~.

**'''Elite''' ships inflict greater damage, have much higher resists, are often faster, and are more likely to bring Webs, Warp Disruptors, or EWAR than non-elite ships of similar size. Additionally, they have a higher probability of attacking your [[drones]].

**'''Elite''' ships inflict greater damage, have ~~a better tank~~, ~~a higher chance of Stasis Web~~ and Warp ~~Scramble~~ than ~~a regular rat~~ of ~~the same class~~. Additionally, they have a higher probability of attacking your [[drones]].

**'''Commander''' Ships: Inflict greater damage and have a better range than a regular rat of the same class. Commanders tend to be rare spawns, and can also carry Faction Items as loot.

*Every ship also has a "flavor name" (e.g. Ambusher, Raider, Reaver...)~~; all~~ the ships of a given ~~faction, class and role have roughly~~ similar ~~stats and abilities~~.

*Every ship also has a "flavor name" (e.g. Ambusher, Raider, Reaver...). Differently named ships have slightly different stats and abilities, and may use either short-ranged or long-ranged weapons or a different ammo type, however on the whole ships of a given size are fairly similar.

Note: This '''does not''' mean that only Elite ships can tackle you, it only means ~~they have a higher chance of doing~~ so. This information is intended to give you a general feel for the Rats you'll be facing in missions, for specific information on rats you'll need to look at [[Missions#Mission_Walkthroughs_and_Mission_Preparation|mission walkthroughs]].
