Basic hulls: basic hulls are just that, they are a ships outer hull, often with some armor already attached and serve to hold all your other components, if you hull is destroyed everyone on the ship dies unless that person can get himself into an escape pod, all ships have a basic sensor system (unless otherwise specified) a basic computer system and a basic cargo loading system

cargo capacity: 2 cargo bays, 500 tonnes each

frigate leader: the frigate leader was designed when entire squadrons of frigates where flying around reasonably unsupported, for its role the frigate leader is fitted with a standard fleet command system, which makes commanding a fleet much easier, heavy armor and shields, to survive attacks and an improved sensor array, to allow it see much more then normal frigates
cost: 35000cr
armor rating: medium
hull strength: medium
maneuverability rating: medium-high

ramming frigate: the ramming frigate is a very recent design, originally intended for moving large asteroids closer to processing facilities, they feature a heavily reinforced bow section which severly reduces damage from ramming, they also come equipped with a ramming shield, grappling system and fusion carver, they earned their name when a small mining team encountered a pirate attack, standard orders would have all non-combat ships retreat to the safety of the fleet-carrier assigned to the group, but 1 of the ramming frigate crews took it upon themselves to ignore those orders, knowing that their group would not be able to hold up against the pirates and be forced to make a run for it from a highly valuable belt of asteroids, thus they moved their ship into a ramming position with the enemy carrier and ran their plasma drives at over 150% maximum capacity, the pirates who had not counted on an attack from a non-combat vessel was caught completely by surprise and the original impact is estimated to have hit the engineering room broadside, probably severely damaging the ships engines which immediatly failed and burned out, the ramming frigate then effortly pushed the carrier into a belt of extremely fast moving asteroids where the carrier was quickly destroyed by numerous asteroid impacts
cost: 25000cr
