Overview
The Wiki now has the ship details in a sortable table: https://startraders.gamepedia.com/ShipsA google sheet link to a sortable table of all the ship hull types currently in Star Traders: Frontiers (last updated 20/12/2017, update #15)With the WIki now having the ships in a tabular format, this guide can be considered obselete and may not receive further updates
Ship Hulls
A sortable table of the ship hull types:
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UoO54aoswrNCpSqk4VJFPS7mxBYg4rgg8lPFS2Hsavg/edit?usp=sharing
There are 2 types of statistics for ships, Ship-Driven and Component-Driven. Ship-Driven stats cannot have their base values changed by the player and are instrinsic to that hull type. Component-Driven stats can be altered by the player by the installation of different components.
Ship-Driven Stats:
- Mass
- Compartments (Small, Medium, Large)
- Hull
- Base Armour
- Base Shields
- Max Officers
- Max Crew
Component-Driven Stats
- Speed (void engine)
- Agility (void engine)
- Fuel (assorted fuel tanks and cargo holds)
- Cargo Hold (…)
- Skill Pools etc
There are some more stats that can be added from the wiki if necessary, but these are the ones I use when making ship comparisons.
