Military ships are used for fighting, as the name suggests, and generally cost more than Economic or Diplomatic ships, in exchange for higher armor and attack. They also usually have poor cargo. Statistics displayed below are class averages; vessels can have higher values of speed, hitpoints, and damage, depending on design, and higher FTL, armour, and shield grades if the necessary expense is paid. These stats hold true for Kode-constructed vessels; for individual designs of galactic powers please refer to their ship rosters.
