Ship Classes

Ships are divided into classes according to their purpose. Most races have at least one type of ship in each class.

M0	Planet-killer (not used in Terran Conflict)
M1	Carrier
M2	Destroyer
M3(+)	Heavy fighter (Improved)
M4(+)	Medium fighter (Improved)
M5	Scout
M6	Corvette
M7	Frigate
M7M	Missile Frigate
M8	Bomber
TS	Transport Small
TL	Transport Large (can transport station kits)
TP	Transport Personnel/Passenger
TM	Transport Military (a small carrier ship)
OWP	Orbital Weapons Platform
LT	Laser Tower
NavSat	Navigation Relay Satellite
AdvSat	Advanced Satellite

Ship Variants
               
For smaller ships, most races have some variants of the basic shiptypes. Not all races have all variants available to buy at ship yards,and some don't even exist in a normal game.

Fighters can have up to four variants, typically having the followingcharacteristics (though there is some variation so these rules do notalways hold).

Raider	Faster, less shielding and less cargo
Vanguard	Faster, sometimes less shielding, sometimes better weapons
Hauler	Slower, more cargo space
Sentinel	Slower, more shielding, sometimes less cargo space

Small freighters may also have variants, again depending on race and again with not all variants being available for all ships.

Hauler	Slower, more shielding, more cargo space
Miner	Slower, more shielding, more cargo space
Tanker	Slower, more shielding, more cargo space
Tanker (larger version)	Even slower, more shielding, more cargo space
Super-freighter	Even slower, more shielding, more cargo space
Super-freighter (larger version)	Even slower again, even more shielding, even more cargo space

Certain ships also come in 'heavy, 'prototype', 'advanced' or'enhanced' variants - this usually indicates an upgraded version of thebasic ship.


Ship Equipment Levels

When buying smaller ships at a shipyard, different levels of equipmentare available. Not to be confused with cargo classes (or the size ofthe ship!).

S	No weapons, minimum shielding
M	Basic weapons, medium shielding
L	More weapons, maximum shields

Ship Nicknames

A few ships have standard nicknames. Examples include:

Elly Ellie	Split Elephant
Oddy	Paranid Odysseus
HCP	Argon Heavy Centaur Prototype
TLS	Goner Truelight Seeker

Cargo Classes

Classes of cargo that a ship may, or may not, be able to carry. Not to be confused with ship equipment levels.

S	Small
M	Medium
L	Large
XL	Extra Large
ST	Station

Each ware has a cargo class and takes up a specific amount of shipcargo-hold, for example one unit of Rastar Oil takes up 6 units ofspace in M class containers, a unit of Argnu Beef takes up 4 units in Sclass containers, and an Ore Mine takes 8000 units in ST classcontainers. Note that this also applies to weapons and shields (evenwhen installed).

Some types of equipment (e.g. jumpdrives) also have a minimum cargoclass, and can only be installed on ships capable of transporting thatclass (although they don't actually take up any space).


Weapons

Weapons are divided into types.

Some weapon types have several variants: Alpha, Beta and occasionallyGamma. The Alpha costs the least, has the fastest fire rate and usesthe least energy, but does the least damage. The Gamma variant is themost expensive, slow firing and energy-draining, but does the mostdamage. Unsurprisingly, the Beta variant is somewhere between the two.The variants are normally abbreviated to A, B and G and added as aprefix to the laser name abbreviation.

1MJ	1,000KJ
5MJ	5,000KJ
25MJ	25,000KJ
200MJ	200,000KJ

一些个人的看法:
Egosoft 明显是受了当代四不像的海军概念影响, 因此才有了m2是destroyer驱逐舰, m7 是frigate护卫舰 和m6是corvete炮艇一说.

在当今世界导弹加飞机的时代, 当代海军其实早已经异化成了一个四不像的东西. 当代的军舰早已经成为一种易耗品. 一旦被对方导弹超饱和攻击很难有生存空间. 因此也就破罐子破摔, 连装甲也不装, 干脆赤膊上阵,当代再先进再昂贵的驱逐舰也没有任何装甲, 包括现代, 中华神盾, 伯克, 统统是赤膊上阵, 没有任何装甲的.  当代驱逐舰只要中一枚炸弹和或导弹基本就失去战斗力。比如谢菲尔德只中一发飞鱼就沉了。这些驱逐舰和M2无疑有天壤之别.

因此我不认为m2是destroyer, 相反, m2应该是battleship, 堂堂的战列舰, 大舰, 慢速, 巨炮, 极厚的装甲, 这完全就是战列舰的概念. 想起那些海上堡垒的名字就让人热血沸腾: 俾斯麦! 威尔士亲王! 胡德!

m6不是corvette,  而应是destroyer, 二战时期的驱逐舰, 个子小, 基本没有什么装甲, 速度比较快, 主要作用是充当舰队的护卫, 主要起着驱赶鱼雷艇和潜艇的作用.

m7不是frigate, 而应是cruiser, 一战时期的巡洋舰, 主要作用是在大洋上巡游, 保卫海外殖民地. 这和我们用m7守卫工厂差不多. 另外还有就是一些国家没钱或者没了造舰的配额, 买不起战列舰只能用巡洋舰.

以上意见, 与egosoft商榷。

P.S. 感觉家园这方面就很到位，Dreadnaught 无畏舰（战列舰的一种），Battlecruiser （战列巡洋舰）等等，定位很准确。
没办法， homeworld本来就是英语国家人士做的， x3毕竟是德国做的， 语言不是很到位。

非常赞同lz意见
