Tech II
Each race has four specialty ships based on the cruiser hull; Heavy Assault, Heavy Interdictor, Logistics and Recon. These ships require increased skills outside of simple piloting and offensive skills. These ships fulfill a niche role and are perhaps not as well suited for everyday use.
Tech III
Each race has one strategic cruiser hull. Strategic cruisers are modular in design, allowing the pilot to mix and match depending on the anticipated requirements.
