Tech I Role Reference

From EVE University Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search


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 races, 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.

Frigates

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

Destroyers

With the hitpoints of a frigate and the size of a cruiser, Destroyers are good for killing frigates or salvaging.

Gallente Catalyst Algos
Minmatar Thrasher Talwar
Tech II Interdictors -

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 and faster than battlecruisers and battleships.

Heavy Assault Ships

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.

Industrials

Industrials are used for transporting goods. They have large combat holds, but next to no combat ability. This table classifies ships based on their base capacity; this can be increased with cargo expanders and the relevant racial industrial skills.

The table reflects only an approximation of the Tier II ship capacities.

Freighters

Freighters are enormous dedicated transport ships. Even the Fenrir, the smallest of the freighters, has a base cargo capacity of 720 000 m3. Freighters cannot be fitted with any modules.

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 II Skiff Mackinaw Hulk

Until recently, each ship was a straight upgrade from the previous one. This is no longer the case. Instead, each mining barge has an advantage over the others, as noted in the table.

Specialist Ships

These ships have unique purposes, and do not fit into any of the previous categories.
