| - | There are more ship designs to be discovered in the [[Ardemare]] galaxy than there are stars. Each ship is designed with a particular purpose in mind, whether that is hauling water to distant outposts, holding its own in a chaotic battle, or exploring dense rock gardens for scientific discoveries. The classification system below is the most commonly used throughout the galaxy, though some cultures use their own naming systems | + | There are more ship designs to be discovered in the [[Ardemare]] galaxy than there are star system.

| * **Maneuverability** - Ships with poor maneuverability cannot navigate in asteroid fields and near planetary surfaces, while Medium ships have difficulty navigating close quarters | * **Maneuverability** - Ships with poor maneuverability cannot navigate in asteroid fields and near planetary surfaces, while Medium ships have difficulty navigating close quarters | ||
| * **Range** - Short range vessels are usually limited to a planet's surface or tethered to a mother ship. Medium range vessels can make most interstellar voyages but must usually resupply at each new system. Long range ships can make multiple stellar jumps without resupply. Extreme range ships can cross the dead space between branches | * **Range** - Short range vessels are usually limited to a planet's surface or tethered to a mother ship.

| + | * **Cargo Capacity** - All ships require cargo capacity commensurate with their size. Military ships need supplies and armaments, merchant ships need supplies and cargo, and explorers need supplies and equipment. Merchant ships have significantly more cargo than military or exploration counterparts | ||
| + | * **Durability** - A ship's durability relies more on design and build material than it does on the ship's class. Comparing species' designs is more useful than comparing ship class, since all interstellar ships have reason to be durable. Morokwe and Carragh ships are known for their strong defenses | ||

| - | **Description**: Freighter Class starships are designed for general cargo hauling. Freighters are often designed for efficiency and specialized for the sector of the galaxy in which they operate. Freighters typically have minimal defenses, relying on convoys with [[ship classes#Frigate|Frigate Class]] starships for defense\\\\ | + | **Description**: Freighter Class starships are designed for general cargo hauling.

| - | **Description**: \\ | + | **Description**: Enterprise Class starship design prioritizes heavy weaponry and crew capacity over speed and maneuverability. They are designed with long-term living and comfort in mind, and in many cases they have a luxury aesthetic not usually found in ships designed for frequent combat. The Enterprise Class is a favorite among larger adventuring crews that operate in combat zones or regions known for piracy\\ |

| - | **Description**: \\ | + | **Description**: Pioneer Class starships are niche vessels designed to carry large passenger complements as well as ample cargo capacity to accommodate everything needed for a community of people to relocate and establish a small village on a distant world. Pioneer Class vessels often convoy together to accommodate larger communities, and are often accompanied by combat ships which can serve as defense once the community has settled, or be repurposed as working ships\\ |
