Tech 1 ships are the baseline for all other ships. They are cheap and are built with knowledge available to the galaxy. Navy faction ships are essentially amped up versions of their Tech 1 counterparts, although sometimes their strong features are traded for other advantages. An example is the [[Drake Navy Issue]] which trades tanking ability for better damage projection. | Tech 1 ships are the baseline for all other ships.

They have higher resistance to icnoming damage and are more specialized in their roles as a general rule of thumb. A lot of special modules can only be fit on Tech 2 ships. The [[Heavy Interdictor]] is a prime example of a Tech 2 ship filling a specialized role. | ||
Pirate Faction ships are Tech 1 ships that were modified by, unsurprisingly, pirate factions(note: Sisters of EVE is an exception). Over time capsuleers adopted these ships for their superiority over Tech 1 ships. They generally have a bigger tank and better damage application. They may also sport specialized bonuses to certain modules. The [[Vindicator]] is praised for it's [[stasis webifier]] bonus and massive damage output. Their downside is the price tag because blueprints are scarce. | Pirate Faction ships are Tech 1 ships that were modified by, unsurprisingly, pirate factions(note: Sisters of EVE is an exception).
