Player ships

{{DisambigMsg|player ships from Everspace|player ships from [[Everspace 2]]|Ships (ES2)}}

This category includes the four types of ships that the player can use, selectable in the hangar pre-run. They can be upgraded with [[Perks]] before/after each run, and can be upgraded with various [[Equipment]] during and before a run. They can also be customized with three different colored sections. The first section has 16 options while the other two have 17. There are also unique style sets that can be selected (locking out color options). The [[Colonial Sentinel]] and style sets is only available if you own the [[Encounters]] expansion. See [[Ships comparison]] for an incomplete comparison between each ship. As part of the Kickstarter, certain backers could unlock a special green-themed skin/style set.

|-

| [[File:Everspace-Colonial-Interceptor-hangar.png|400px]] || '''[[Colonial Interceptor]]''' || Medium Fighter Class || A versatile combat ship that can equip most weapon systems and devices. Though it does not have considerable disadvantages, the Colonial Interceptor does not shine in any particular field either.

|-

| [[File:Everspace-Colonial-Scout-hangar.png|400px]] || '''[[Colonial Scout]]''' || Light Fighter Class || Fast and swift but also quite fragile, the Colonial Scout demands a clear playing style. To compensate for its lack of hull hitpoints, it is the only ship capable of using cloaking devices and teleporters.

|-

| [[File:Everspace-Colonial-Gunship-hangar.png|400px]] || '''[[Colonial Gunship]]''' || Heavy Fighter Class || The Colonial Gunship is a clunky beast to maneuver but it can take a lot of hits. Its reinforced hull provides the best protection available though this comes with a weak spot: It is not possible to equip a shield device. The front shield generator and a powerful turret provide remedy.

|-

| [[File:Encounters-Sentinel-Hangar-Front.png|400px]] || '''[[Colonial Sentinel]]''' || Medium Fighter Class || With the option to enable fast hacking and an additional slot for weapons and devices the Sentinel further underlines its electronic warfare capabilities, already given an exclusive set of unconventional equipment.
