	Kestrel	1300	500	10 mil. Credits	225 MPH	375 MPH per sec.	80, 120	4 Torpedo, 2 Proton Turrets, 10 Missiles, 2 Lightnings	Best ship money can buy, shields are almost impenetrable and has two Lightnings in its fighter bay
	Bulk Freighter	100	250	120,000 Credits	80 MPH	125 MPH per sec.	500, 150	1 Laser Turret	NEVER PURCHASABLE  If you want to raid ships for cargo, head for these first they're weak and slow
	Confed Patrol Ship	200	0	700,000 Credits	350 MPH	435 MPH per sec.	5, 5	4 Proton Cannons, 2 Missiles	NOT PURCHASABLE wimpiest Confed ship created, even a Clipper can take it out
	Confed Gunboat	200	50	900,000 Credits	250 MPH	435 MPH per sec.	5, 5	2 Laser Cannons, 4 Missiles, 2 Heavy Rockets	NOT PURCHASABLE Only slightly more dangerous than a Patrol Ship, just don't get in front of it, it carries Rockets
	Confed Frigate	2500	500	5 mil. Credits	150 MPH	375 MPH per sec.	50, 60	2 Proton Turrets, 4 Heavy Rockets, 6 Torpedo, 10 Missiles	NOT PURCHASABLE Unless you have a Kestrel, you best bet is to RUN!!
	Confed Cruiser	8000	1000	20 mil. Credits	150 MPH	190 MPH per sec.	75, 100	4 Proton Turrets, 14 Torpedo, 4 Neutron Blasters, 4 Patrol Ships	NOT PURCHASABLE This is almost impossible to destroy unless you cheat.
	Manta	200	0	180,000 Credits	425 MPH	625 MPH per sec.	3, 5	3 Swivel Laser Cannons, 1 Missile	NOT PURCHASABLE Rebel version of Patrol Ship, but is slightly better

	Rebel Cruiser	5000	800	14 mil. Credits	200 MPH	280 MPH per sec.	60, 120	3 Proton Turrets, 8 Heavy Rockets, 20 Missiles, 4 Mantas	NOT PURCHASABLE In my mind, stronger than the Confed Cruiser even though its shields are weaker, don't mess with it
	Alien Fighter	5000	0	0 Credits	500 MPH	900 MPH per sec.	10, 10	1 Fusion Beam, 2 Seeker Drones	NEVER PURCHASABLE Only found in one mission , its Fusion Beam can slice you to pieces in nothing flat.

	Hawk	230	0	250,000 Credits	350 MPH	560 MPH per sec.	3, 10	4 Laser Cannons, 2 Missiles	Only available as a fighter escort, the Hawk Fighter Bay is a good addition to any Argosy or Corvette
	Luxury Liner	300	200	1 mil. Credits	150 MPH	185 MPH per sec.	20, 30	1 Laser Turret	NEVER PURCHASABLE Very weak, if you don't mind angering the Confeds raid these ships when you see them
	Executive Transport	100	50	90,000 Credits	300 MPH	310 MPH per sec.	10, 10	NONE	NEVER PURCHASABLE Not often found outside of missions and doesn't give you enough money for your time to make it worth attacking one of these
