Tech 1 ships such as the [[Rifter]] are bought from NPCs or manufactured by players from blueprints seeded on the market. Within ship types there are "tiers". For example, the Tier 1 Minmatar combat frigate is the [[Slasher]], the Tier 2 combat frigate is the [[Breacher]], and the Tier 3 combat frigate is the [[Rifter]]. This does not necessarily mean that the Tier 3 Rifter is better at everything than the Tier 2 Breacher.  The [[Breacher]] performs better at long range than a [[Rifter]], for example, but higher tier ships usually have better performance, more slots, more CPU and Powergrid, and are more expensive. You should consider the role you expect to fill over the tier level of the tech 1 ship, as that is far more important. The tier of a ship is not shown in game as an attribute, it can only be inferred from stats and production cost.
