Tech I Role Reference
All Tech I ships are different, but some have similar purposes. For a more detailed guide to the bonuses that the ships get, 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.
Race | Noobship | Tackler | Miner | E-War | Missiles | Scanning | Combat |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Amarr | Impairor | Executioner | Tormentor | Crucifier | Inquisitor | Magnate | Punisher |
Caldari | Ibis | Condor | Bantam | Griffin | Kestrel | Heron | Merlin |
Gallente | Velator | Atron | Navitas | Maulus | Tristan | Imicus | Incursus |
Minmatar | Reaper | Slasher | Burst | Vigil | Breacher | Probe | Rifter |
Tech II | - | Interceptor | - | Electronic Attack Ships | Stealth Bombers | Covert Ops | Assault Ships |
The role of the mining frigates will change when the ORE Mining Frigate becomes available.
Destroyers
With the hitpoints of a frigate and the size of a cruiser, Destroyers are good for killing frigates or salvaging.
Race | Destroyer |
---|---|
Amarr | Coercer |
Caldari | Cormorant |
Gallente | Catalyst |
Minmatar | Thrasher |
Tech II | Interdictors |
A new destroyer for each race is scheduled to be released soon.
Cruisers
Cruisers are larger and slower than frigates, but smaller and faster than battlecruisers and battleships.
Race | Support | E-War | Cruiser II | Cruiser III |
---|---|---|---|---|
Amarr | Augoror | Arbitrator | Omen | Maller |
Caldari | Osprey | Blackbird | Caracal | Moa |
Gallente | Exequror | Celestis | Vexor | Thorax |
Minmatar | Scythe | Bellicose | Stabber | Rupture |
Tech II | Logistics | Recon | Heavy Assault Ships | Heavy Interdictors Heavy Assault Ships |
Battlecruisers
Battlecruisers use medium equipment, like cruisers, but are more versatile and powerful.

---|---|---|---|
Amarr | Prophecy | Harbinger | Oracle |
Caldari | Ferox | Drake | Naga |
Gallente | Brutix | Myrmidon | Talos |

As the ships become larger, they become more and more diverse.
Battleships
Battleships are the largest combat ships (that aren't capital ships) in the game.
Race | Battleship I | Battleship II | Battleship III |
---|---|---|---|
Amarr | Armageddon | Apocalypse | Abaddon |
Caldari | Scorpion | Raven | Rokh |
Gallente | Dominix | Megathron | Hyperion |
Minmatar | Typhoon | Tempest | Maelstrom |
Tech II | Black Ops | Marauders | - |
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.
Race | 3000 | 3001-4000 | 4001-5000 | 5001-5500 | 5501-6000 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Amarr | Sigil | Bestower | |||
Caldari | Badger | Badger II | |||
Gallente | Iteron | Iteron II | Iteron III | Iteron IV | Iteron V |
Minmatar | Wreathe | Hoarder | Mammoth | ||
Tech II | Blockade Runners | Deep Space Transports |
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.
Race | Freighter |
---|---|
Amarr | Providence |
Caldari | Charon |
Gallente | Obelisk |
Minmatar | Fenrir |
Tech II | Jump Freighters |
Mining Barges
Mining barges are ships produced by ORE. They are the only ships capable of fitting certain pieces of mining gear. Tech II barges are called Exhumers.
Tech | Defense | Capacity | Mining Rate |
---|---|---|---|
Tech I | Procurer | Retriever | Covetor |
Tech II | Skiff | Mackinaw | Hulk |
Until recently, each ship was a straight upgrade from the previous one. This is no longer the case.
