Prepare a Disco Immediately - Ban Danna, X2: The Threat
All ship pages are out of date and in varying states of completion
At the heart of X4: Foundations are the ships which can be flown and fought. Ships fulfill a large range of roles in the economy such as trading, mining and building stations or can have purely combat orientated designs. Ships are classified based on their size and role in a manner similar to X Rebirth and unlike the class system of X3.
Ship Sizes
XS - Extra Small ships
Drones, deployables, mass traffic vessels, mines and the space suit. With the exception of the space suit these craft are NPC and cannot be flown while only specific ones can be owned
S - Small ships (Military/Civilian)
Couriers, fighters, interceptors, miners and scouts. Cheap and fast but lightly shielded and with limited room for freight. Used for overtaking the competition and swarming enemies.
M - Medium ships
Corvettes, frigates, miners, transporters and bombers. Medium price general purpose ships.
L - Large ships
Destroyers, freighters and miners. Large, slow and heavily shielded ships with considerable firepower and space for wares.
XL - Extra Large ships
Battleships, builders, carriers and resuppliers. Huge ships with specialised niche roles.

We need to include drag value for ships.

DrSuperEvil Are you referring to the momentum/Inertia when trying to slow down?
DrSuperEvil
I am referring to the value that interacts with engine thrust to determine speed. Mass interacts with thrust to determine acceleration. There is a ship mod to increase ship speed by reducing drag.
DrSuperEvil
Really need to clean up these pages.

I have to say I find it weird that the Xenon do not have L class ships (as both the K and I are categorized as XL despite having massively different size)
Sparks
Yeah, I think it would be better if the K was L class.
