1. Freighter - A ship designed to withstand repeated extreme heat, wear and tear upon atmosphere reentry accompanied by adaptable side airfoils, ability to commute long distances, bounce on high altitude atmospheres for global commute with minimal damage, VTOL for easy drop off's and pickups, large cargo capacity, large life support and fuel capacity for inter planetary commute's, and sufficient engine capacity for ease of escaping any orbit provided.
2. Harvester Freighter - A ship designed principally for atmospheric transport for short distances, adaptable high efficient hybrid turbines, air dynamically efficient, semi large cargo hold for liquid or solid state cargo's, VTOL for easy drop off's and pickups, limited inter planetary ability with replaceable onetime solid fuel engines and reentry shielding.
3. Scout Vessel - A ship designed principally for high speed and high maneuverability in atmospheric conditions for rapid exploration into unknown planetary environments, air dynamically efficient, low cargo capacity, large life support, VTOL for landing in tight locations, limited inter planetary ability with sufficient engine capacity for ease of escaping any orbit provided, limited replaceable reentry shielding, limited weaponry for self defense from hostile encounters, mapping and scanning sensors.
