You start the game with a Marauder ship, which is a very basic general purpose ship.\u00a0 Although you can add a weapon, a mining laser, a shield, a generator, or one system item, you cannot change the number of slots that are available in a ship chassis.\u00a0 You will soon find that you want a new ship with better capabilities.<\/p>\n
You should first take an opportunity to try the various character roles with some training mission, but will eventually need to decide in which direction your first character will advance.\u00a0 Your basic choices are a career in Mining asteroids for resources, Hauling freight between ports, or as a Combat specialist.<\/p>\n
First let\u2019s look at your Marauder. One slot for each category, decent armour and hull, and space for 30 freight. But no place for an freight expander. A good starter ship, but with limited space for expansion.<\/p>\n

Mining Ship:<\/strong>\u00a0 The Deepcore offers 2 Mining Laser slots and two slots for Shields, Energy and Systems.\u00a0 This is ideal to kick off a career in mining, but notice that there are no slots for an expander.\u00a0 You will not be able to haul and deliver freight from Dumont or Janisar, but anyone that wants to craft items will need mining resources.\u00a0 The cost for this ship is usually just under 200,000 credits.<\/p>\n Hauling Ship:<\/strong>\u00a0 You will see that the Frontier has 2 Expander slots, but no slots for a Mining Laser.\u00a0 So the choice is becoming clear, you have to give something up to specialize in something else.\u00a0 Hauling freight is the best way to earn credits. The cost of this ship is usually a little less than the Deepcore and can often be purchased for about 187,500 credits.<\/p>\n Combat Ship:<\/strong>\u00a0 The Raven is the ship to choose if you want a career as a combat pilot.\u00a0 This is the only ship at this level with 2 Weapon slots.\u00a0 No Mining Laser slots and only one Expander.\u00a0 Also notice that the Hull is twice as strong as the other ships, perfect for your combat pilot.\u00a0 Cost is about 195,000 credits.<\/p>\n General Purpose:<\/strong>\u00a0 The final option is the Polestar. This ship has a little bit of everything with 2 Weapons, 2 Mining Lasers, one Expander slot, and very good Armor and Hull. But this one comes with steep price tag. The cost here will be almost 800,000 credits, which really takes this out of the same class as the previous ships, and emphasizes the value of the previous ship options. You will have to use that Marauder for quite a bit longer.<\/p>\n You start the game with a Marauder ship, which is a very basic general purpose ship.\u00a0 Although you can add a weapon, a mining laser, a shield, a generator, or one system item, you cannot change the number of slots that are available in a ship chassis.\u00a0 You will soon find that you want a […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-375","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-game-play"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/docs.project-terran.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/docs.project-terran.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/docs.project-terran.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/docs.project-terran.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/docs.project-terran.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=375"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/docs.project-terran.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":404,"href":"https:\/\/docs.project-terran.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375\/revisions\/404"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/docs.project-terran.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=375"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/docs.project-terran.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=375"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/docs.project-terran.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=375"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
