The variety of ships in Allegiance is stunning. Each is different for every faction, and some factions have unique ships in addition. The 18 different ships add to the complexity of the game. It is central to know how each of them operates, as they are what pilots will most likely encounter and deal with, as well as being your only means of interaction.

There are three main types of ships.

Low cost, fast and efficient, small class ships are the most widely used. Medium class ships are used in different roles, carrying heavier equipment. They are generally the central part of an assault. They are fairly cheap, generally not representing much of an investment.

Capital class ships are gigantic vessels that use equipment unique to them. They are fairly rarely used, but also have their own unique abilities. They generally cost big amounts of credits, and all require a shipyard.
