Sizes
S: Small ships are cheap and fast but fragile with only S weapon options making them useful for dangerous tasks like exploring unknown territory or for swarming larger ships,
M: Medium ships are the most common ship type covering a diverse range of economic and military roles.
L: Large ships are expensive and have limited docking options but are considerably more efficient than their smaller counterparts at mining, trading and combat.
XL: Extra Large ships have limited combat options but cover specialised roles for station construction, resupplying fleets and as carriers of large S/M ship wings.
Roles
Combat
Ships built to engage other ships and stations in combat and either destroy or capture them. Fight ships range from small agile Scout craft to large and heavily armed Destroyers. In general as fight ships progress in size through Scout>Interceptor>Fighter>Corvette>Destroyer roles there is an increase in shielding, fire power and cargo bay size but at the cost of being slower and more expensive to manufacture. Other combat ships like Frigates and Carriers specialise in transporting wings of smaller ships at high speeds to where they are needed while delivering modest supporting firepower. Bombers and Scavengers are specialised combat ships with a small profile which focus on missile support and piracy.
