Things like Cargo Scanners and point defense turrets all require a utility point to attach to.įuel Capacity – The maximum amount of fuel a ship can carry. Utility Points – You can use utility points to attach modules to your ship. They can be deployed from your cockpit when you need to use them, but must be retracted in order to jump. There are different sizes of hard points from small to huge. Hard points – Adding weapons to your ship requires hard points. Transport ships have huge cargo bays while fighters have very minimal spots for storage. Larger ships tend to have low maneuverability while smaller ones have much higher maneuverability.Ĭargo – The amount of cargo space your ship has available when empty. Maneuverability – This stat determines how agile your ship is when making turns and accelerating. Max Speed – The top speed your ship is capable of measured in m/s without using boost.īoost Speed – The fastest your ship can go while using the boost ability. As you increase your mass, you will need to get more powerful/ more shield generators. Larger vessels require more powerful shields. Shields can also regenerate over time if they haven’t been hit in a while. Each hit will reduce your shields an amount equal to the power of the attack. Shields – Your first line of defense, your ships shields can be thought of as your life bar. The more armor you have, the more damage you can take but it usually comes at the cost of speed and maneuverability.
Every time you add a module to your ship it will increase its mass.Īrmor – Your armor rating mitigates the damage you take from attacks when your shields fail or from attacks that bypass shields. A larger Hull Mass will also require more powerful shields to protect. You should be wary of gaining too much mass as it will affect the efficiency of your thrusters causing you to manoeuvre more slowly. Hull Mass – A ships mass is its overall weight. To give you a better idea of what stat affects what, here is a rundown of the ship stats in Elite Dangerous.
Fighters will want to maximize their firepower, while Transport ships want to focus on increasing their cargo space and shields. Unfortunately there are so many stats in play with each ship that it can easily become confusing as to which stat controls what, making it harder to outfit your ship with the upgrades it needs to perform at its maximum potential.Ĭertain ships will also want to focus on different stats. In Elite Dangerous you are your ship and your ship is its stats.
