When running missions a lot of information is given to you through the names of the various NPC ships.
{{MissionLinks}}
When running [[missions]] or killing [[rat]]s in asteroid belts, you can gleam a lot of information is given through the names of the NPC ships you're fighting.


*The Main part of the name indicates ship class
*The main part of the name indicates the ship class (e.g. frigate, destroyer, cruiser...).
*The prefix 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'''.
*The suffix indicates the role of the [[Rat]] in the context of the mission
**'''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]].
*'''Commander''' Ships: Inflict Greater Damage and have a better range than a regular Rat of the same class.
**'''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.
*'''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.
*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 mission walkhroughs.
 
== A Brief Summary==


Note: This '''does not''' mean that only Elite ships can tackle you, it only means it's more common for them to do 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 preparation and walkthroughs|mission walkthroughs]].
