All Tech I ships are different, but some have similar purposes. This reference sheet is meant to give you an idea of how different ship roles are covered by different [[Factions#Empires|empires]], and what type of Tech II ships they correspond to. For a more detailed guide to the bonuses and stats of the ships, try the [[ship type quick reference]]. For a simple list of all the ships sorted by race and class, use the [[Template:ShipsMatrix|ships matrix]].
 +
 
 +
Some Tech I ships can be given expensive upgrades by faction navies. For example, upgrading the [[Omen]] produces an [[Omen Navy Issue]]. These "faction ships" can be purchased at [[LP|LP Stores]] or the market, and are not listed on this page.
 +
 
 +
Other Tech I ships not listed on this page might be found at the [[:Category:Pirate_Faction_Ships|Pirate Faction Ships]] or [[:Category:Special_Edition_Ships|Special Edition Ships]] pages.
 +
 
 +
The approximate costs given are ''very'' approximate. The true cost may be half as much, or twice as much. Bear in mind that the number quoted is the approximate cost of the hull, and does not include fittings or insurance. As a rule of thumb, the cost of a Tech II ship is at least 10 times greater than that of a Tech I ship, and sometimes much greater.
 +
 
 +
== Frigates ==
 +
Each race has seven different Tech I [[frigates]]. This is the smallest type of ship aside from the [[shuttle]] and the [[corvette]]. Each type of frigate is associated with a specialized class of Tech II ships.

== Destroyers ==
 +
[[Destroyers]] are frigate-killers, but tend to perform badly against larger ships. All of the gunship destroyers have eight high slots, making them very useful [salvaging]] ships. They are also very good at running level 1 security [[missions]].

[[Cruisers]] are larger and slower than frigates, but smaller, faster and cheaper than battlecruisers and battleships. They are good at running level 2 security missions.

[[Battleships]] are the largest subcapital ships in the game. They can fit stronger tanks and larger weapons than most smaller ships, but are slow and often have difficulty hitting small targets. They are good at running level 4 security missions.

Latest revision as of 12:07, 7 September 2022

All Tech I ships are different, but some have similar purposes. This reference sheet is meant to give you an idea of how different ship roles are covered by different empires, and what type of Tech II ships they correspond to. For a more detailed guide to the bonuses and stats of the ships, try the ship type quick reference. For a simple list of all the ships sorted by race and class, use the ships matrix.

Some Tech I ships can be given expensive upgrades by faction navies. For example, upgrading the Omen produces an Omen Navy Issue. These "faction ships" can be purchased at LP Stores or the market, and are not listed on this page.

Other Tech I ships not listed on this page might be found at the Pirate Faction Ships or Special Edition Ships pages.

The approximate costs given are very approximate. The true cost may be half as much, or twice as much. Bear in mind that the number quoted is the approximate cost of the hull, and does not include fittings or insurance. As a rule of thumb, the cost of a Tech II ship is at least 10 times greater than that of a Tech I ship, and sometimes much greater.

Frigates

Each race has seven different Tech I frigates. This is the smallest type of ship aside from the shuttle and the corvette. Each type of frigate is associated with a specialized class of Tech II ships.

Approximate cost: 500,000 ISK except for the navy frigates, which are closer to 10,000,000 ISK

  1. ^ Corvettes are not technically frigates, the have their own class

Destroyers

Destroyers are frigate-killers, but tend to perform badly against larger ships. All of the gunship destroyers have eight high slots, making them very useful [salvaging]] ships. They are also very good at running level 1 security missions.

Caldari Cormorant Corax
Gallente Catalyst Algos
Minmatar Thrasher Talwar
Tech II Interdictors Command Destroyers
Tech III Tactical Destroyers

Approximate cost: 1,000,000 ISK

The Dragoon and Algos specialize in drones, and the Corax and Talwar specialize in missiles.

Cruisers

Cruisers are larger and slower than frigates, but smaller, faster and cheaper than battlecruisers and battleships. They are good at running level 2 security missions.

Approximate cost: 5,000,000 ISK to 10,000,000 ISK

The Gallente Heavy Interdictor is based on the Thorax hull, not the Vexor hull.

Battlecruisers

Battlecruisers use medium equipment, like cruisers, but are more versatile and powerful. These are the largest ships that can enter Class 1 wormholes. They are good at running level 3 security missions.

Approximate cost: 40,000,000 ISK to 80,000,000 ISK

The Oracle, Naga, Talos, and Tornado can fit large-sized weapons at a reduced fitting cost. They are like cruisers with battleship-sized guns.

Battleships

Battleships are the largest subcapital ships in the game. They can fit stronger tanks and larger weapons than most smaller ships, but are slow and often have difficulty hitting small targets. They are good at running level 4 security missions.

Approximate cost: 150,000,000 ISK to 200,000,000 ISK

The Minmatar Black Ops is based on the Typhoon hull, and the Minmatar Marauder is based on the Tempest hull.

Haulers

Haulers are used for transporting goods. They have large cargo holds, but next to no combat ability. Their capacities can be increased with cargo expanders and the relevant racial skills (Amarr Hauler, Caldari Hauler, Gallente Hauler, and Minmatar Hauler). Each race has a fast, strong hauler , and a slower hauler with a larger cargo hold.

Minmatar Wreathe Mammoth

In addition to these all-purpose haulers, there are four specialized haulers. These ships have one or two very large specialized cargo bays, but the bays can only be used to hold one class of item.

Gallente Miasmos Ore (e.g. veldspar)
Minmatar Hoarder Ammunition(charges) and Gas

Approximate cost: 500,000 ISK to 1,500,000 ISK

Freighters

Freighters are enormous dedicated transport ships. Even the Fenrir, the smallest of the freighters, has a base cargo capacity of 435 000 m3. All freighters except the Bowhead have extremely limited powergrid and CPU, and have only 3 slots for modules (all low slots).

Amarr Providence
Caldari Charon
Gallente Obelisk
Minmatar Fenrir

Approximate cost: 1,300,000,000 ISK

The Bowhead is designed to carry assembled ships, and is equipped with a large Ship Maintenance Bay for this purpose.

Mining Barges

Mining Barges are ships produced by ORE. They are the only ships capable of fitting strip miners and ice harvesters. Tech II barges are called Exhumers.

Tech I Procurer Retriever Covetor
Tech II Skiff Mackinaw Hulk

Some older sources of information will assert that different mining barges have different numbers of high slots. This is no longer the case.

Approximate cost: 20,000,000 ISK to 30,000,000 ISK

Other ORE Ships

Aside from its mining barges, ORE has produced a number of other special industrial ships.

Endurance		 Mining frigate
Noctis - Salvaging hauler
Porpoise - Medium Mining support ship
Orca - Large Mining support ship
Rorqual - Capital mining support ship

Capital Ships

Capital ships are enormous, very expensive ships. They have the option of using their jump drives to travel from system to system without using stargates. They cannot enter high security space.

Amarr Revelation Archon Apostle Aeon Avatar
Caldari Phoenix Chimera Minokawa Wyvern Leviathan
Gallente< Moros Thanatos Ninazu Nyx Erebus
Minmatar Naglfar Nidhoggur Lif Hel Ragnarok

Dreadnoughts deal incredible amounts of damage to stationary targets. Carriers and Supercarriers carry ships and special fighter drones. Force Auxiliaries are huge logistics ships. Titans use the capital-ship-killing doomsday devices, and can "bridge" an entire fleet to a cynosural field.
